Following the crisis in the Gırgıriye Musical that began with an audience reaction, Müjdat Gezen, a master figure of Turkish theater who experienced discomfort, came to the Harbiye Auditorium with the dust still on his feet after the initial intervention at the hospital. Gezen, sitting in each of the auditorium seats one by one, tested the audience sightlines and identified the errors in the field of view on the spot.
The dispute that started when an audience member disliked the viewing angle at the Gırgıriye Musical, planned to be staged at the Istanbul Congress Center Harbiye Auditorium, and led to the cancellation of the play, prompted the production team into action. Following last night's tension, the master figure of Turkish theater, Müjdat Gezen, who came to the hall today, personally inspected the seats and conducted a viewing angle check.
TENSION ROSE IN THE HALL, SUDDENLY FELL ILL
The events began last night before the performance when an audience member reacted to the position of the seats. Following the heated argument, Müjdat Gezen left the stage, and the show was canceled due to the master artist suddenly falling ill. After the decision, tension rose in the hall, and it was learned that one of the big names of the cast, Perran Kutman, could not hold back her tears backstage in the face of what happened.
CHECKED THE SEATS ONE BY ONE
After the initial intervention at the hospital, Müjdat Gezen returned to the hall without delay and held an emergency meeting with his team before today's performance. Gezen, who came to the hall, sat in the seats one by one to test the audience's viewing angle. During the inspection, Gezen pointed out deficiencies in the field of view, saying, "There is no stage. It is visible when done like this, but it is not visible from here."
