We will realize this first in Eskişehir on March 19. The audience in Eskişehir will embrace 'Heart of a Dog.' Afterwards, we will go to our capital, Ankara. We will meet with the Ankara audience. We will bring the audience together with Tolstoy's unforgettable work, a cornerstone of world literature, 'War and Peace,' directed by Aleksandar Popovski. We are very excited. On March 24, as the entire City Theatres family, we will visit our Great Leader Atatürk at his final resting place with an official ceremony. We are very proud. We are very happy about this visit. Immediately afterwards, we will move on to Antalya. Yaşar Kemal's 'The Legend of Mount Ararat' will meet the audience for two days. Following that, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Van... We will continue like this. We are very excited. The countdown has begun. We are counting the days."

The tour aims to provide unforgettable moments for theatre lovers in different regions of Turkey. With this event, the IMM City Theatres aims to both popularize the arts and increase cultural interaction.
