“Humor is the foremost weapon of the weak,” said Turkish author Aziz Nesin. In this short play, the artist and poet Yeşim Ağaoğlu uses humor to show what is unrolling in her native country. Ağaoğlu belongs to the new generation of leading artists and poets in Turkey who see an increased sidestepping of the freedom of speech and are calling out to do something about it.
