Festivale karış; ister evinde, ister tiyatro salonunda!
Pandemi sebebiyle belki de tarihinin en zor dönemlerinden birini geçiren İstanbul Tiyatro Festivali bu yıl çok sayıda dijital tiyatro deneyimine yer veriyor. Bu; fiziki mekândakilerden ve çevrimiçi oyunlardan oluşan hayli kişisel bir ‘merak listesi’. Programa göz attığınızda sizin de o çok özlediğimiz tiyatro hareketliliği duygusuyla heyecanlanmanızı dilerim...

Free thought, democracy...
It would have been great if this article could be dedicated to Çetin Altan, 82, one of the great masters of word who received Sunday the Culture and Art Grand Award of the Culture and Tourism Ministry in appreciation of his life-time contributions to Turkish literature and cultural life.
Greeks resent lost role in Palestine
"How come the Greek government was absent this year from Davos World Economic Forum, when every country, by trying to increase their political and diplomatic capital, participates in the discussion for the solution of issues that supersede their own?" asked Yannis Loverdos, the shadow minister of foreign affairs, to Dora Bakoyiannis, the Greek foreign minister, in a written question.
2014'ün en iyi yabancı albümleri
2014’te hangi albümler çıktı, bunlardan hangileri en çok dinlendi diye araştırma yaparken resmen başım döndü. O kadar çok yeni albüm ve uzun zamandır beklenip piyasaya çıkan albüm varmış ki, aralarından 25 tanesini seçmek gerçekten çok zor oldu. İlk 25 albümü sıralarken sene boyunca hazırladığım Karışık Kaset listeleri ve dünya listelerini göz önüne aldım.
Is Hasankeyf in our hearts?
Regarding Hasankeyf, one of the most magical places in the world, two joyous items of news reached us in the space of a few days. The first piece of news, this historic district located in Batman actually dates back 15,000 years. Until now we had thought 12,000, but we were wrong.
Öcalan prepares for August statement
"This opportunity should not be missed" is what we still hear and it is still valid. There has never been a better time to wipe out the PKK terror and progress in the Kurdish issue. For the first time those in Ankara holding the power and those in Çankaya are of the same opinion. They do not look in a different direction. No difference in opinion. And again for the first time is the command level in the TSK generally in line with the govenment, even if not in details. They believe that a step needs to be taken in order to wipe out the PKK terror.
Coups, good coups and bad coups
It is one of the bad tricks of this profession: When there is a "bombshell" with an unknown fate, we are often dragged into the queue of commentators not necessarily because the bombshell is mature enough to comment on, but precisely because it is a bombshell and not commenting on it would be tantamount to "missing the agenda." The latest allegations of a coup attempt within the ranks of the armed forces, based on a document whose authenticity was still a mystery by the time this column was written, is a powerful example.
Economy’s rudder
In Turkey if you try to make the necessary reforms in the infrastructure of the economy, some will be deeply disturbed. During the last seven years, the two AKP governments enjoyed an abundance of international credit. But recently the instability in the production and consumption equation and with the global economic crash the Turkish economy's downward slide began
Don’t shoot me, hang me!
"The members of the clergy of Greece may not be shot. They may only be hanged. I beg you to respect this tradition," Archbishop Damaskinos asked of the German occupation authorities in 1943. The wars, even in the times of the Nazis, were fought in a more honest way than they are today. So I thought having re-read a rich bouquets of readers’ messages that had flown into my inbox at unusual volumes. All that because I had dared to criticize Fethullah Gülen in this column on Wednesday. Forget the positive and neutral comments. There is much we should learn from the negative ones.
Now it is the Turkish Armed Force’s turn
The Turkish Armed Forces, or TSK, has been in distress for a long time now. In former years this distress could be felt but this distress has increased with what we have experienced since the AKP came to power. Especially the Ergenekon investigation and detention of retired generals in this frame have paved the way for a proliferation of distress. The TSK has been identified with the Deep State concept, which is accused of illegal deeds.
What is ’civilized politics?’
Klaus Emmerich, a "veteran commentator" for Austrian state broadcaster, ORF, in reference to Barack Obama’s victory, said a few days ago, he "would not want the western world to be directed by a black man." When invited to retract the comment, the man described by Spiegel Online as "the Wolf Blitzer of Austria," stood defiantly by what he said, stating "blacks are not as politically civilized."
Huge project ruined for TRT’s gain
About four years ago, the Suna-İnan Kıraç Foundation decided to give an unforgettable gift to Istanbul. A cultural center was to be built at Tepebaşı, with $200 million obtained solely from Suna and İnan Kıraç. It was to be completed by 2010 and be just on time for the Istanbul Cultural Capital celebrations.
Istanbul band out to ’hypnotize’ audiences
ISTANBUL - After years spent performing in Istanbul, Luxus releases its first record 'Acayip Şeyler' (Strange Things) hoping to thrill audiences as much as they do onstage. Like their live shows, Luxus believes it can hypnotize listeners with its debut album
