TALKS ON HISTORY OF OUR THEATRE

AKBANK SANAT & THEATER FOUNDATION OF TURKEY (TTV)

"Popular Theater and Palace"

Speakers: Nilgün Firidinoğlu

Theatrical performances in the Ottoman palace in the 19th century were not limited to plays performed by foreign and local groups or artists in western style. This is the period when Tulûat and Ortaoyunu, which are important elements of entertainment culture in the imperial capital, Istanbul, were among the preferences of the Palace as well. Nilgün Firidinoğlu will examine the relationship between the audience and the actors in the popular theatre performances held in the presence of the Sultan (“huzur temsilleri”) in the Ottoman palace and discuss the effect of this relationship on the quality of the representation.

Nilgün Firidinoğlu: She completed her undergraduate education at Istanbul University Faculty of Literature, Department of Theatre Criticism and Dramaturgy and Art History. After having her master's degree at Boğaziçi University, Department of Turkish Language and Literature, she received her PhD from the I.U. Department of Theatre Criticism and Dramaturgy. Continuing her academic research in the fields of Ottoman Theatre, Republican Period Turkish Theatre, Traditional Public Theatre and Theatre Historiography, Firidinoğlu is an instructor in I.U., Faculty of Literature, Department of Theatre Criticism and Dramaturgy.
