If you write a letter to God, what would you say?
Hi, my other half, that’s enough. Stop and take a rest. You suffocated me.
Who is the person that you love most?
Unfortunately, I am more interested in work and posture than people. This doesn’t mean I don’t love people. I have not used the phrase “the most” in my life for a long time. If it is necessary to give a name, I would say the name of the Bedirxan family because of their works and efforts.
What would you not want to happen if you built a world for yourself?
Platon does not include artists in his books. I don’t want to include politicians, conservatives and racists.
What is your favourite book?
The book that touched my mind and soul is “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez.
When you are dead, who would you most like to visit your grave? (It does not matter if s/he is dead or alive)
I would Dr Abdurrahman Qasimlo tells a story, Mirza writes its text, dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch dances for it, director T. Angelopoulo conducts and I perform it. Time is passing by, but wherever the soul is, it reaches its loved ones. I would want to talk about art with these people in my grave.
What worries you the most?
Loss of trust, child workers and people who are far from empathy.
If you scratch one name to Diyarbakir’s walls, whose name would it be?
It’s not a name, but I would scratch these words from the poem Keştîya Bayê:
“Min birînek di bîr anî nizanim di sînga kê de”
Which period do you want to live in?
I don’t miss the past, but I wonder about the future. I’m also interested in space and the period when money wasn’t invented.
If you were born one more time, what would you do again?
Of course theatre and also more works as a director.
What would you most like to do before you die?
To perform a Kurdish mythology and to carry the Kurdish theatre on the international scene.
What do you most dream about?
An ecological life near a river or island with my friends and loved ones.
What is the pain in your heart in this life?
A free life and land for Kurds far from authorities.
If you wanted to change something about yourself, what would it be?
My kindness and generosity.
What is your biggest achievement?
My rebellion against my family and patriarchal society as a Kurdish woman and my artistic creativity. Long live my mother, the women of Zenderi and me.
