World-renowned puppeteer and animation master Cengiz Özek will participate in the project, alongside the talented, young generation of Polish artists, including Robert Drobniuch and composer Karol Nepelski.
The aim of the project is for artists from different cultural backgrounds, operating with different aesthetics, working methods and experiences, to meet and confront one another. The organizers want young Turkish audiences to tackle Polish literature in a modern interpretation by Polish and Turkish artists.
