The festival’s first surprises

The first performances of the 29th Istanbul Theatre Festival 2025: "Cathedral, an evening with Arvo Pärt" by Europe’s celebrated choreographer Marcos Morau, and "Qui som? / Who are we?", an ecological ceremony by the French-Catalan company Baro d’evel.

A “Hamlet” that breaks the mould

A bold reinterpretation from Peruvian company Teatro La Plaza that celebrates difference. Discounted pre-sales for İKSV Lale Card members begin on 23 July. General sales open on 25 July with a limited number of tickets available at special early bird prices.
