About Hall EV.ankara

Hall EV.ankara is the home venue of EV.ankara, an independent cultural initiative set up to diversify Ankara's arts scene. It sits on Bülbülderesi Caddesi in the Esat neighbourhood of Çankaya, and its tagline, "senin evin Ankara" (your home, Ankara), reflects the idea of a hall that works like a shared living room for the city's creative crowd. EV.ankara designs events across several disciplines, including the performing arts, music, cinema, gastronomy, exhibitions and literature, and the programme at the hall is correspondingly mixed. Recent months have brought acoustic concerts (among them Büyük Ev Ablukada and Dilan Balkay), a Women of Rebetiko concert, the Bi' Anda musical theatre series with shows such as Addams Family and Mamma Mia, interactive theatre like Dalavere, autobiographical musical storytelling by Grup Gündoğarken, Cuban salsa performances with workshops, and open-air film screenings followed by talks with the directors. The hall has also hosted a vintage and second-hand market, and theatre and music-based workshops for people with or without stage experience. The initiative also runs projects beyond the hall, such as BirFilmBirKonser, the Kasırgayı Kaçırma musical and Dolmuş Sahne, a stage built around one of Ankara's iconic Magirus dolmuş buses, plus EV.sessions on the rooftop. Practical notes: tickets for the ticketed events are sold through Biletinial and Bubilet, and the monthly programme is published on the EV.ankara website and Instagram account.
