KIZLAR
"Who runs the world? Girls."
KIZLAR (meaning Girls in Turkish) is a celebration of what it means to be female. Combining Turkish folk dance with stunning athletic movement, this captivating show presents different images of femininity, from the tender to the powerful.
With an all-female company, KIZLAR transforms traditional male Turkish folk dances into a powerful, sensual, and visually stunning performance, accompanied by a powerful, rhythmic soundtrack which blends Eastern sounds with modern beats.
Running time: 60mins + post-show social dance
KIZLAR is presented as part of the Rural Touring Dance Initiative

Pre-recorded Audio Description and a touch tour is available for this performance. If you would like to enjoy the show using Audio Description please email [email protected] or call 01768 353 954 in advance of the performance and we will send you the downloadable files.
At the performance at Gilsland Village Hall, there will be a curtain-raiser before the show. Tracing Backtalk is created by Mezze, a multi-generational group of women from across the local community. Responding to the themes of KIZLAR, the piece explores how women’s voices echo through time — how they are held, resisted, and re-spoken in the body. (Audio-description will not be available for this part of the evening.)
