As TÜRGEV, We Brought the Spirit of July 15 to the Stage with GİF Students
Our theater play Love for the Homeland tells the story of our nation’s heroic resistance on the night of July 15, 2016. The scripts, written by our students, came to life through their own performances. On our stage, it was not only a play that was presented but also a portrayal of a generation’s commitment to national and moral values.
An Inspiring Theater Journey from GİF Konya to Istanbul
Our theater journey, which began at the Factory of Fine Works in our Konya center, continued in Ankara and concluded in Istanbul’s Fatih district. In all three cities, the halls were filled to capacity, and audiences expressed their emotions—sometimes with tears. The final performance in Istanbul was especially unforgettable for both our students and us.
Strong Interest in the Istanbul Performance
Staged at the Zübeyde Hanım Cultural Center in Fatih, Istanbul, our play attracted a large audience. Members of the press also attended, and our performance was well-received in the media, earning appreciation through reviews and news coverage.
Proud of Our Female Students’ Achievements
At TÜRGEV, we take great pride in our young people for preserving our collective memory through the power of artistic expression. Love for the Homeland once again showed how our female students, with their sense of responsibility, self-confidence, and talent, can accomplish great things.
Continuing to Tell the Story of Resistance Through Art at TÜRGEV
For us, it is of great importance that events etched into our nation’s memory, such as July 15, are understood and conveyed by younger generations. As TÜRGEV’s Factory of Fine Works, we will continue to support our students’ artistic productions and develop projects centered on national and moral values.
