Description
A group of thirteen Turkish-Kurdish women are witnessing a performance executed by Bucak herself with her brother, in which she revisits the genesis myth of the monotheist religions, transforming the stage into a negotiation of gender politics. the scene is set in a Salt Lake in Ankara and recalls the symbolism of salt as an element to conserve, clean and cook – all attributes stereotypically associated with the traditional female role.
