Cosmic Fear

“Cosmic Fear – or the Day Brad Pitt Got Paranoia.” This title belongs to a Danish play written by the playwright Christian Lollike. It was translated and presented in Türkiye for the first time at the theatre festival “11th New Text Festival” at the GalataPerform theatre in Istanbul.

The play addresses complex topics such as climate anxiety, pop culture, and news coverage in a daring and humorous mix, exploring the phenomenon of fear under the impact of ecological change on our world. The translation was carried out by Leyla Tamer, enabling a meeting between contemporary Danish stage art, Turkish theatre practitioners, and the audience.

This was followed by a sold-out panel debate entitled “From post-dramatic dramaturgy in the age of climate change to postapocalyptic dramaturgy”.
