Resignation of the main members of the Playwrights and Theater Translators Association
This association, by releasing a statement and referring to being questioned for their request to the police to avoid 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 release of their statement asking for non-violence against protesters.
The statement does not specify which entity conducted this questioning, but previously many artists have also announced that they have been questioned by government bodies for expressing their support for the people.
In part of this statement, it is mentioned that ‘We have been ruined because governments came one after another and did not untangle this confused knot of cultural management.’
