Bomontiada ALT is shaping the program of A Corner in the World, which brings artists from Turkey and abroad together, and is hosting music performances, movie screenings, lounge meetings and also workshops throughout the month. With the "Sarı Güzergah" ("Yellow Route"), designed as an audio-walk at Bomonti, visitors will get the chance to set on a journey where they can discover the district through all their senses. The performance that will be led by the director Zinnure Türe will follow the sound of Bomonti district, one of the main focus points of cultural and physical "change/transformation" in Istanbul with its unique architecture and multicultural structure, and will witness the formation of a new story along with a view that gradually becomes blurry. The performance will take place between Oct. 18 and 21.

The founder of A Corner in the World Festival, art director Fatih Gençkal will tell the story of a destruction that is inspired by the Ancient Greek tragedy "Women of Troy" full of today's images of destruction. Pushing the limits of imagination through the perception that the world and the body lies at the center of the universe and the ruining of randomness and rationality, the work tries to construct not just the inevitable collapse of the renewed but the whole order. Under conditions where bodies and the location are manipulated by factors that are not on stage in an ambiguous story, it creates anarchy of chaos in the world of Gods and humans, travels and disasters, wars and losses. The performance can be visited at bomontiada ALT Performance Hall on Saturday.

A mask theater adaptation of Bertold Brecht's "The Caucasian Chalk Circle," "Punta Atmak" ("Centering"), created by Emre Koyuncuoğlu, will visit bomontiada ALT between Oct. 18 and 21.
