Showcase

Remote X is an interactive play with no stage or actors. Its cast is the residents here in Istanbul. And the stage is the city itself.

Istanbul's cultural hub, Arter, briefly reopened in June amid the coronavirus pandemic but decided to close its doors again, only to come back with new shows. Now they are back and Showcase’s Sena Arslan cautiously went to the opening.
