Resignation of the main members of the Playwrights and Theater Translators Association
This association, in a statement pointing to being questioned for their request to the police to refrain from violence against protesters, announced that they have resigned in solidarity with the people.
The signatories of this statement, which was published on Thursday, November 24, mentioned that theater is inherently a protest art and reported being questioned following the publication of their statement requesting non-violence against protesters.
The statement does not specify which organization conducted this questioning, but previously many artists have also stated that they were questioned by governmental bodies for expressing their support for the people.
A part of this statement reads, ‘We are ruined because governments came one after another and no knot was untied from this tangled mess of cultural management.’
