THREE - WINDOWED PLAY

Three - Windowed Play @NOKS Independent Art Space, Istanbul

it is just an attempt of escape.


First Window
Two women are in a cemetery in Büyükada. They have papers and pencils in their hands. Their mysterious behavior is conspicuous. They look around like guests. To the sky, the ground, right and left. They are proceeding cautiously in the graveyard. They walk as if playing hopscotch, so they do not step on those who sleep meters below. One of them shows a cypress tree to the other by pointing up.
Second Window
Women sit at a large white table in a dimly lit room with yellow walls. There are some scribbles. Previously taken notes. On their faces, a sneaky mischief of attempting a mysterious act and seriousness are read. One of the women squint her eyes as she puts her index finger gently on her lips. She is reminded of a book she had read before. Four words are filtered from her lips 'door-less in the mouth'.
Third Window
A steel-cold winter day ends. The ghosts of Haydarpaşa Station are lingering around. As the sounds of laughter coming from the pub shake the empty wagons, suddenly a whistle is heard. Women are startled by this familiar sound that had not been heard for centuries. One leans towards the other's ear, as she points to the train entering the station with her index finger, whispering these two words: "Divine Synchrony". The humming of the forest is spreading through Haydarpaşa. Slowly. Building up. Rails, roads, paths and voices on the other end of the phone appear in an image among others flying away from the women's mind.
