Fazıl Say and Nakamura Hayato meet on the same stage in Cappadocia

At the event held in Cappadocia, world-renowned pianist Fazıl Say and Nakamura Hayato, one of the young representatives of Japanese Kabuki theater, met on the same stage for the first time.

This special event brought together not only two great artists but also two deep-rooted cultures in the magical atmosphere of Cappadocia. The organization of the event was undertaken by Dorak Holding, which has been building bridges in the field of cultural tourism between Japan and Turkey for over 30 years.

The concert, which brought together Fazıl Say's universal musical language and Nakamura Hayato's traditional Kabuki art on stage, is considered one of the most elegant examples of cultural diplomacy. During the concert, Fazıl Say performed his works titled "Ses" (Voice), "Kumru" (Dove), "Karatoprak" (Black Earth), "Kaz Dağları" (Mount Ida), "Yeni Hayat" (New Life), and "Alaturka Jaz". Nakamura Hayato took the stage with his unique interpretations of Kabuki theater.

Nakamura Hayato, who is considered one of Japan's young and promising actors, visited Turkey as part of the event. Born in 1993 and coming from a family that is among the most famous actors in the country, Hayato has achieved great respect in his country in recent years with his talent and success in Kabuki, a special type of Japanese folk theater. His success in this traditional theatrical art, which dates back to the 17th century and combines pantomime, dance, and sketches, also paved the way for Hayato in the world of popular cinema and theater. Today, he has a large fan base not only in his own country but also in Europe and the USA.
