Çelik, Duygu
The traditional Ottoman shadow play Karagöz and Hacivat was broadcast in Kurdish on a Turkish state channel broadcasting in 2012. In this chapter, the author poses the question: are these Kurdish scenarios mere translations of the Turkish form, or did Qeregoz develop into a localized form of its own? Ultimately, the author contends that these plays in Kurdish represent a new staging style of the iconic form, and furthermore, the generous depiction of Kurdish life in Qeregoz on television had the effect of troubling a monolithic sense of “Turkishness.”

Çelik, Duygu
This chapter delves into the relationship between censorship and 'otherness', examining three plays across distinct political epochs from the multi-party period of 1945-60 to the post-coup regimes of 1960 and 1971, marked by democratic transitions and restricted liberties Musa Anter's Birîna Reş (1959), recognised as the first Kurdish play on Republican history, encountered state prohibition and confiscation in 1965. Erol Toy's Pir Sultan Abdal (1968), centered on the Alevi folk poet, faced a ban exclusively in Tunceli, a city predominantly inhabited by Alevis, amidst violent events resulting in a civilian's death. Deprem ve Zulüm (1977), a collaborative piece by the Revolutionary Ankara Art Theatre, explores the aftermath of a 1976 earthquake in Van, a Kurdish-dominated city. These plays share a commonality in addressing the concept of the 'Other' and were censored under the accusation of promoting separatism, thereby violating constitutional norms. By scrutinising these cases, the chapter aims to unravel the dynamics between artistic expression, political climates, and the imposition of censorship, shedding light on how the theme of 'otherness' becomes entangled in the suppression of voices across diverse socio-political contexts.

Çelik, Duygu
This chapter focuses on the use of "kilams" in Kurdish theatre as theatre music. Kilams are the narratives, expressions, and structures of dengbêjî's, which are traditional one-person oral performances of the Kurds. çelik will look at the dramaturgical contributions of the kilams used in the plays she has selected. She will combine methods of performance analysis with the evaluation of play texts, play recordings, field diary entries and notes, as well as (non-standardised) interviews. In this way, the author aims to understand the concept of "theatre music" via an ethnodramaturgical performance analysis. The concept of ethnodramaturgy refers to the analysis of the political/artistic/anthropological identity that people/society creates via performing arts. The main goal of the proposed notion of ethnodramaturgy is to make the theatre of "the other" visible and analyse the ethnocentric monocultural structure in the field of theatre by deconstructing it. Here, the focus will be on Kurdish theatre and dengbêjî. For this purpose, three Kurdish plays in which kilams were used as theatre music will be discussed and their respective functions on stage analysed.
