About this event

Dosya: Kelebek is an Ankara State Theatre (Devlet Tiyatroları) play based on a work by Lisa Genova, in a stage adaptation by Christine Mary Danford, translated by Zeynep Lengerli and directed by İskender Altın. It opens in the Mavi Salon of the Çankaya Municipality Atatürk Sanat Merkezi (ASM) on Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 20:00, with further performances there on 18 and 19 November. It then moves to the State Theatre Şinasi Sahnesi from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 November at 20:00, with an extra 15:00 matinee on Saturday 28 November. According to the ticket page, rather than dramatising Alzheimer disease itself, the play looks at the everyday ruptures it causes, cracks within a family, the shaking of professional identity and new ways of loving. It asks the audience: if remembering is our identity, who are we when we forget? The page describes it as a stage experience about memory, the body, time and love. Set design is by Selim Cinisli, costumes by Aslıhan Fakı, lighting by Mahir Köksal, music by Kemal Günüç and choreography by Deniz Kılıçlı, with video by Serkan Erzin. It is played in two acts and is for audiences aged 8 and over. The Atatürk Sanat Merkezi stands beside the Eskişehir Yolu at the Bilkent junction; its Mavi Salon has 462 seats. Tickets for all dates are sold through Biletinial.
