KAMELEON
Take a look in advance
Sadettin Kırmızıyüz wanted to create a clown show. After years in which current events kept intruding on his work, he was ready for something lighthearted. No major social issues. No heated debates. Just a show where he could act. Mess around. Laugh. That plan failed almost immediately. Because how do you create a show that’s about nothing at a time when everything is about something?

In KAMELEON, Sadettin Kırmızıyüz desperately tries not to create a performance about identity. But the harder he tries, the more the subject imposes itself. Fortunately, this leads to a lot of confusion. That’s exactly where the fun begins. With humor and sharp insight, Sadettin shows how we all change colors—often without even realizing it. But what, then, is the “right” color?
