""Kula" Play: Fading Memories of the Common Past of the Sephardic Jews of Istanbul"

Speaker: Rivka Bihar

Moderator: Noyan Ayturan

With the establishment of the Republic, the policies applied to the minorities mostly caused the loss of the Sephardic identity formed on the basis of a common language and values to a large extent. In this context, the play "Kula", staged in Ladino language, has got various significations since its first stage in 1979 and today, stands out as a tribute to the longing for the common past, that the Sephardic identity was fully experienced
