Berlin — “Bald Diva” (Namely “Kel Diva” in Turkish), a celebrated work of abstraction and absurdist theatre by the French playwright Eugène Ionesco, will be touring Germany from 14-19 September.

Staged by Turkish Oyun Atölyesi, the play has sold out at every venue across the country and tickets for the German tour now available through pickaseat.com.

“Bald Diva” is now one of the most popular offerings from Oyun Atölyesi, with its performances being eagerly anticipated in Germany. The play features Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a typical English couple, who engage in nonsensical conversations with their guests, the Martins, leading to increasingly absurd and chaotic situations. As reality unravels, the play challenges the audience to reflect on the futility of logic and communication in modern life.
