Solum, and other plays from Turkey. Solum / Mustafa Kaplan.
"Solum asks questions of home through the physical research on the performer's body that tests the limits of stretching, enduring, and absorbing pain. For instance, in the beginning, Kaplan puts numerous rubber bands around his face--tight, they cut into his skin. In the script, he details...

| 520 | |a "Solum asks questions of home through the physical research on the performer's body that tests the limits of stretching, enduring, and absorbing pain. For instance, in the beginning, Kaplan puts numerous rubber bands around his face--tight, they cut into his skin. In the script, he details the installation of each band, carefully mapping the features and explaining the action of the performer. During this process of reconfiguring, disfiguring, and reassembling his body, Kaplan creates a series of different bodies onstage by tracing and naming the transformation of the figure/character/body/person/thing. When the performer is no longer like anything, he names the character after their actions. During the performance characters are revealed one by one to the spectators, as the performer transforms from one to the other. This transformation from one thing to the other, this state of being like something and being exactly like nothing, mirrors the self-perception of a large part of the population of Turkey. Kaplan assembles all these characters/bodies into one persona. The larger part of the urban population has migrated from rural areas or small towns; they have changed, lost, rebuilt, and then perhaps reconnected, with their homes or hometowns. At one point in Solum, Kaplan does a headstand in one corner of the performance space while singing a rural folk song. The folk songs that he sings when he finds home again in his body arise from the past he has carried with himself ... For Kaplan, the body is a country governed by personal history and social conditions leading him to ask: Where do we belong? Where is home?"--Introduction. | ||
