A theatre-maker from Istanbul, İbrahim has been professionally involved in theatre since 2010, predominantly as a performer, as well as a director, dramaturg, and playwright. Most of his solo theatre-making practice centres around meddah, an ancient form of Turkish/Ottoman storytelling. He is passionate about revising traditional storytelling techniques to understand what it means to be a 21st-century storyteller. He currently focuses on queering and contemporising the meddah by combining autoethnography with postmodern narratives and metafiction. He truly believes that fiction can be used in art to make more sense of, or even authenticate, reality. He finished his master’s degree in directing at the VCA in 2021. Some of his works in Melbourne include The Hyena (Western Edge), Peacemongers (The People), The Amateurs (Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre), Monument (Red Stitch Actors’ Theatre), Life Changing Show (The People), The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven (Bullet Heart Club), Very Nice Pot Plants (Karla and Zachary).
