As part of the series of events “50 years of the recruitment agreement between Turkey and Germany”, the theater group Tiyatro Tempo from Ankara will perform the play “Waiting for life to begin…” in Antalya.
Already performed with great success in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, the play deals with the history of guest worker families in Germany. The unusual way in which the group Tiyatro Tempo presents itself, with actors and puppets on stage at the same time, and the live music of the group “Üç Anadolu” promise a great experience.
