Costume, Camera, Catharsis!

Pera Adult

  • May 16, 2025 / 19:00

In Marcel Dzama's magical world, everywhere is a stage, and music, dance, performance, and costume are the tools of expression. Take on a character you've always wanted to be, or maybe you've been hiding deep inside!

In this workshop, participants reveal their creativity by designing their costumes and characters. Then, a short script is written, and a mini-performance is developed. After getting into character with face paints, fabrics, and accessories, participants shoot short movie scenes in groups. Whether classical narration is preferred in the editing phase or the script is created quickly with the support of artificial intelligence, a collective story emerges.

Instructor: OyunMu
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 500 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

About OyunMu
Founded by architect Merih Bengisu Yiğit, OyunMu is a collective focused on creating game-based projects with a team of ten people from different disciplines. Organizing workshops, interviews and publications for both adults and children, OyunMu interprets games from the perspective of art, architecture and communication. The concept of ‘play’ is always at the center of their projects, which they carry out within the scope of a sustainable development plan. The purpose behind the OyunMu collective's focus on games is to highlight the potential of games to play a formative role in cultural practices and trigger social change, while also focusing on their educational, creative, entertaining, relaxing and socializing possibilities.

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Medicinal Herbs in Byzantium

Knowledge of plants and the practice of healing are closely entwined. The toxic or hallucinogenic nature of some roots, and the dangers associated with picking them, conferred a mythical or magical character and power.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing. 

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos

Demons, Symbols, and the Cosmos
