Title: Two-Faced!
Written and performed by Kemal Ulusoy
Director: Gulê Özalp Ulusoy

Lîstûbêj- Durû is a monologue which brings to light the contradictions in the character’s life and puts them into harsh and humorous focus. Employing a format somewhere between satire and stand-up, the character faces his own handicaps and deficiencies, such as selfishness, two-facedness or unruliness, while he recounts stories of his socio-political experience.
