Oral History

 

We are conducting oral history interviews with people who made great contributions to our theatrical tradition to enhance the theatrical memory of Turkey.
Throughout 2018, we carried out interviews with leading figures in our theatrical history. We plan to build this part of our archive in the future and record more accounts of the theatrical history of Turkey as soon as possible.
In addition to written documents, these interviews, which are personal accounts and record people’s stories, constitute an integral part of the archive of Turkish theatre.

We aim to resume the oral history interwievs, which we paused in 2020 due to the pandemic, when conditions improve.
