Comments of director Nihal Koldaş on the play:
“Evaristo« , is a play that attempts to speak about today, but sets its eyes on the past, present and even the future. The play greets the audience in a damp and dirty bunker and sways the expectance of the audience from one side to another. Evaristo, as defined by its playwright, is about the struggle of an ageless woman to hold on to life. It is an ambition to live… a story that lasts for decades. On the other hand, it is an observation on the recent social history of the world, gazing from an underground, dark bunker. It is both dark and brutal, but also crazy and fun at the same time. The playwright gives the audience an enormous freedom to position him/herself into the play.
Comments of playwright Civan Canova on the play
I wrote « Evaristo » with great joy. Writing some plays turns into a burden as the writing process lingers on. You strive to finish. But that was not the case this time. It was written “in a trice”, even though I was really busy with so many other things. If it were not for my dear friend Yiğit Sertdemir’s suggestion, I would have never written it. Six plays, six playwrights, six directors and six actors/actresses. It was a very appealing project. After seeing Kumbaraci50 stage I was even more eager to work. Affected by the space, all the thoughts and ideas I had been playing in my head for some time poured out of a woman’s mouth; a mad old, weary, somewhat familiar but very weird woman. “Indeed, when you look at the horizon you understand. There seems to be a weird redness… not only on the ocean side… but everywhere. The TV calls it “spring time”… but I can’t figure it out”. Like they say, “an onion makes you drink a whole bottle of raki”, this sentence in my head made me write a whole play.
