Performances run from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 November 2026, at 20:00 each evening, with an extra 15:00 matinee on Saturday 21 November. Set in the last days of the Ottoman Empire, the play follows a family exiled from its home on Crete on a journey that leads to Istanbul, telling the sometimes comic, sometimes sad stories of Rüstem, Cemal and the many people who enter their lives. It takes a contemporary approach to traditional theatre and invites the audience on an adventurous journey in which theatre meets music, dance and poetry. The production is in one act and is for audiences over the age of 8. Biletinial lists tickets from 120 to 450 Turkish lira, with discounted and full prices in two seating categories. The Karşıyaka Ragıp Haykır Stage seats 303. The building opened as the Efes cinema in 1966, became a theatre in 1986 and was rebuilt, reopening in March 2019; it also houses the administrative office of İzmir State Theatre.
