Welcome to Turkey Now!
The Turkey Now! Festival is not just an opportunity to experience some culture, it's also a meeting place for people from diverse backgrounds. This festival web site is not just a road map to the festival's activities, but an experience in itself, in which you can actively participate as much or as little as you like.
The programme includes a large number of our own productions, but also various events produced in collaboration with other organisations. There is close cooperation with the operators of the festival's venues. The financial and moral support of authorities, funds, sponsors and partners are of crucial importance too.
We, the board of Kulsan, have created the programme and organised the festival, although not on our own. Below we would like to introduce you to the entire festival team.
We wish you a beautiful Turkey Now! 2012 and hope to welcome you at various venues from February to May.
