Angel is a young gay man living very discreetly in an unfriendly and barren social milieu. The time comes for him to fall in love. Michael is an experienced and able “professional” who invites him to live and have an affair with him. Angel has nothing to lose by deserting his family home: an alcoholic father, a hysterical mother worn out by work and a disabled sister. The film's aim is to focus the spectators' attention on situations that exist beyond the police records, harshly illuminating the dark sides and the social discrimination in Greek society. It also provides a wider gaze on the problem of solitude and of freedom in modern society.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
Our institutions have been stuck on linear Neo-Platonic tracks for 24 centuries. These antiquated processes of deduction have lost their authority. Just like art it has fallen off its pedestal. Legal, educational and constitutional systems rigidly subscribe to these; they are 100% text based.
