This is a manifesto.
SHAKESPEARE İS NOT BORİNG!!!
This idea has been unconsciously inherited, contracted by people who never watch or read Shakespeare because they heard “it is boring” and unfortunatelly they will forward it to their succesors.
İt goes so far that todays in a school book the name of Shakespeare is associated with a bored face!
The perpetuation of this idea must stop!
SHAKESPEARE İS NOT BORİNG!
Can be difficult to read, yes but Shakespeare didn’t write for reading (he would be a novelist) .
Shakespeare wrote THEATRE. Theatre is representation.
Can be hard to understand, yes but if you go to theatre and you come back more confused is not Shakespeare’s fault. The approaching of the text can be boring or confused or hard to understand (in the name of the art).
Shakespeare wrote for everybody from the poorest up to the Queen.
Shakespeare must go back to people because Shakespeare belongs to people!
We are artists and we don’t want to speak against theatre as an art against the way artists are expressing themselves.We don’t want to educate the public even.
We want to discover and rediscover tools which will bring people closer to this huge source of knowledge because

The project "POWERED BY SHAKESPEARE" is going on.
We Will bring an incontestable gift named Shakespeare .
İt is for people of İstanbul (and not only).
We Will study the whole opera of Great Will and we Will share it with You, the Big Public.
We are searching for methods to bring Shakespeare directly to people, to convince them that he has the knowledge of life, of today's life, that Hamlet is walking on İstanbul's streets, that our society continue to produce Romeos and Juliets, that Richard III is talking for us at TV.
Do you think Katarina is in every woman, more or less adicted to traditional conventions?
Or Othello? Can be one of you? We read in the newspapers...
Did it ever happened to you to believe in fairies?
Which is the border between dream and reality?
Here is a direct conexion between You and Shakespeare, between you and life.
WE are making it.
We have been started already.
The people who have seen "Shakespeare'in Gücündendir" understand.
This was just the first step.
We are going on.
We are powered by Shakespeare.
Special thanks to ATTİLA KILIÇ for his hospitality and great kindness . Without him we couldn't make this huge step, the first one.

almost all about Macbeth here
İsrail’in Gazze saldırılarından sonra, bir kez daha tarihin döngüsünden kaçınmanın insanoğlu için çok zor olduğunu düşündük. Mesele güç olunca, geçmişten günümüze, ta Habil ve Kabil’den beri, yalnızca “aktörler” değişmiş; bir de gücü elde etmek için kullanılan araçlar.
After Gazza events it's understood one more time that for the humanity is very hard to get out from the as called “spiral of the history”.When is about power, nothing else have been changed in the world, beggining with Cain and Abel till todays, but the “actors” and maybe the tools they use to get it.
Konumuz tiyatro ve büyük usta Shakespeare olunca, onun operasının evrenselliği hiç değişime uğramadı. Belki tarihin belli bölümlerinde diğer zamanlara kıyasla daha güncel kabul edilmiş olabilir.
When is about theatre and its greatest master, William Shakespeare, nothing changed in the universality of his opera maybe just that he is considered more contemporary with some periods of history than with others.
Three jesters are performing Shakespeare’s dramas. They have choose Shakespeare’s words to tell a story about power. How different they read the text? How much irony they can give to these stories and to the characters? İs it theater so strong to absorb them in? Can they make us forget, together with them, even for few minutes, that we are at theater? And after that, can they make us smile because of the theatrality of intrigants? How funny is the history when it repeats itself? How ridiculous is the mortal human being running for power? How sad it is the fact that the most inteligent creature in the world waste its little time of life …?
Üç soytarı Shakespeare’in dramlarını canlandırıyor. Gücü anlatmak için Shakespeare’in sözcüklerini seçiyorlar. Metni ne kadar farklı okuyabilirler? Bu öykülere ve karakterlere ne kadar ironi katabilirler? Bu onları içine çekecek kadar güçlü bir tiyatro olabilir mi? Bize ve kendilerine, bir an için bile olsa, tiyatroda olduğumuz gerçeğini unutturabilirler mi? Ve sonra entrikaların tiyatralliğiyle bizi gülümsetebilirler mi? Tarih tekerrür ettikçe komediye dönüşür mü? Ölümlü insanoğlunun sürekli güç peşinde koşması ne ölçüde saçma bir durumdur? En gelişmiş zekaya sahip yaratık olan insanoğlunun kısacık hayatını boşa harcaması ne kadar üzücü olabilir?
