Only Place I Belong (In Concert)
at The Brick
Only Place I Belong is the journey of a young Turkish-immigrant man in search of love, identity, and belonging in America for the first time. The story follows Can (pronounced “John”) through a rebellious attempt to offer his truest self to the world, his family, and to himself. As Can moves from Turkey to New York, we follow his heartbreaking, sexy, and unforgettable encounters, as he finds the soul he thought he lost – his voice and music. With a score of original indie/folk songs blended with unmistakably-New York stories, this new musical feels like a late-night train ride that you won’t want to end.
Only Place I Belong
at The Tank
Musical numbers paired with stories of love, identity, and belonging from the life of a foreigner searching for a home, following his dreams in New York City. In a rebellious attempt to offer one's truest self to the world, a family, and a mother, we search for freedom and love in unexpected places. But we soon discover that at the end of every journey, we're suddenly standing in the middle of the next.
Master of Time
at Teatro Latea
I can bring tears to your eyes, raise the dead, and make you smile. Tell me, what am I? I form in an instant, last a lifetime, and sometimes I am forgotten. Can you tell me what am I? I am the past, I am who you are, but I’m mostly a liar. Can you tell me what am I? “Solve this riddle,” he says, “And you will be the master of time.”
A Hundred Dollar Bill
at TADA! THEATER
A multicultural story of a Turkish man rummaging for truth and searching for his name Al Wadood, the Loving? Or “Manhattan Love?” God and Sex share the same wing space, take off from the Brooklyn Bridge and fly into uncertainty. A bare shoulder at the Met, red lipstick, and my aunt’s wig. In Sex and God, I trust.
