1 Shadows of the Australian Performing Arts Ecology Görkem Acaroglu , 2022 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies , April no. 80 2022; (p. 72-92) 'In 1977 in Ankara, Turkey’s capital city, I starred in my first theatrical production, a series of Nasredin Hoja tales. Nasredin Hoja – a philosopher, a Sufi – is remembered for his funny anecdotes in a series of Aesop-like fables that each contain a moral and a message. Nasredin Hoja is the wise fool who famously sat on his donkey backwards and, when asked why, replied: ‘it’s not me that sits on my donkey backwards, it’s my donkey that is facing the wrong way’.'
