Think you know your Shakespeare? Think again! This is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before – ‘trippingly on the tongue’… Migrant actors take on the Bard, reinterpreting his words in alien environments you will never have imagined before. They give his iconic characters a new life, migrating them into the roles assigned to outsiders by society. Hamlet is a meat-packer, King Lear a construction worker, Caliban a hotel cleaner, Lady Macbeth a housewife looking after children, and Shylock washes the dishes in a restaurant. This is no one Bard: Shakespeare belongs both to no-one and to everyone.’Migrant Shakespeare and Seyyar Theatre are a gift… Even hindered by an English that I’m sure they struggle for, their Shakespeare is pretty damn good’ (British Theatre Guide)‘A fascinating look at how those whose first language is other than English treat the words and meaning of the Bard’ (LouReviews.blog)‘Highly dramatic… These people grasp the undercurrents so well… It made me think’ (FringeReview.co.uk)Monologues by | William Shakespeare Adapted and Directed by | Naz YeniThe Players Hamlet (Hamlet) | Tuana Arayici Jacques (As You Like It) | Zülfü KaplanEdmund (King Lear) | Gözde IșikLady Macbeth (Macbeth) | Gülİstan SarbasLauncelot Gobbo (The Merchant of Venice) | Semba TekİnKing Lear (King Lear) | Tuncay AkpinarCaliban (The Tempest) | Seda ÇelİkKatherine (The Taming of the Shrew) | Eser RüzgarShylock (Merchant of Venice) | Denİz OkuProspero (The Tempest) | Özlem TașDramaturgy by | Stephanie TillotsonMusic by | Jan ÇIitakSinging by | Hüseyİn ErdoǧanVideo Editor by | Asli TokmanPoster Design by | Can AksoyImage by | Berrin Bugay LawlerProduction Assistance by | Bora Bicakiwww.seyyar.companywww.facebook.com/seyyarcompanywww.instagram.com/seyyarcompanywww.youtube.com/channel/UClJlJDJKbTGUEb2hxv1pf-Awww.tiktok.com/@seyyarcompanyopen.spotify.com/user/3b0cyl3st83fthn2aubq6awklsoundcloud.com/seyyar-company Watch TrailerThis is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com

Shakespeare sits in his script-, costume- and prop-strewn attic amending his Will, when his Muse magically materialises. ‘Why are you here?’ She points to the audience. ‘I’ve come to prove to them you wrote the plays.’ ‘How?’ ‘By getting you to reveal where you “signed them”.’ ‘Screw you.’ What follows is a heart-warming, at times tragic, often heated debate between them – the Muse hurling Will’s own lines in his face – that ultimately reveals the truth and the urban legends that make up Will’s life and works, allowing him to adopt the motto: ‘Not Without Right’.Written by | Colin CoxCastWilliam Shakespeare | Colin CoxThe Muse | Alessandra MañónDirected by | Fran de Leonwillsplayers.org This is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com

Out of Line is a 6-minute dance short capturing a woman’s psychological and physical resistance against rules defined by men – both on the ballroom floor and in reality. Inspired by the rigid follower/leader dynamic of standard ballroom, the piece exposes the invisible shackles imposed on women. Through struggle, isolation, rebellion and exploration, she seeks liberation, but can she ever truly break free? With striking choreography, a haunting performance, and feminist urgency, the film opens up questions about power, gender, and autonomy – all without speaking a single word.Directed by | Jin LiChoreographed by Xi Liu and Jin Li Watch Trailer

Two people, disconnected from themselves and weighed down by emotional residue, discover a ritual of release. Through breath, shaking, and raw, expressive movement, they begin to shed what their bodies have held. One resists. One rises. Together they remember joy. Unbound is a 6-minute, non-verbal dance-theatre work exploring how stress and trauma live in the body – and how we can clear them. Drawing on somatic practices and lived experience, The Code Collective presents a bold, healing piece designed to move audiences emotionally and physically. Visceral, minimal, and human, this is movement that refuses to stay still.Created, Choreographed and Performed | Rachel SyderPerformed by | Bajoura JonkerSound Design and Music Editing by | Rachel SyderProduced by | The Code Collective

Language creates awareness and reinforces stereotypes, but what if the vocabulary is not enough to describe one’s identity? Female, male, both or neither. It is difficult to describe in words what has long been a reality. The traditional gender division based on one’s sex is far outdated. However, do our language and behaviour follow this change? This interactive dance film addresses the following questions: What impact does language have on gender differentiation? How do certain meanings of a word become established? And what cultural, political and ethical influence do these have on us and our bodies?Written by | Darja Reznikova and Angela WendtPieces and Performers:Opening | João Kreth d'OreyLost in Translation | Felix ChangThe Living Room | Marco Labellarte and Cecilia PonteprimoDeep Blue Sea | Miriam MarklRe-birth | Anthony SelwynProjections | Lorenzo PonteprimoThe Gathering | Miriam Markl, Lorenzo und Cecilia Ponteprimo,Felix Chang, Anthony Selwyn, Marco Labellarte, João Kreth d’Orey, Sabio JaniakDirected by | Darja ReznikovaDramaturgy by | Angela WendtLighting and Set Design by | Mireille SolomonCostume Design by | Susana FlorêncioGraphics by | Schreiner Medien DesignLocation by | Altes Stromwerk Mannheim Watch TrailerThis is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com

Hamlet is a meat-packer, King Lear a construction worker, Caliban a hotel cleaner, Lady Macbeth a housewife looking after children, and Shylock washes the dishes in a restaurant. This is no one Bard: Shakespeare belongs both to no-one and to everyone.’Migrant Shakespeare and Seyyar Theatre are a gift… Even hindered by an English that I’m sure they struggle for, their Shakespeare is pretty damn good’ (British Theatre Guide)‘A fascinating look at how those whose first language is other than English treat the words and meaning of the Bard’ (LouReviews.blog)‘Highly dramatic… These people grasp the undercurrents so well… It made me think’ (FringeReview.co.uk)Monologues by | William Shakespeare Adapted and Directed by | Naz YeniThe Players Hamlet (Hamlet) | Tuana Arayici Jacques (As You Like It) | Zülfü KaplanEdmund (King Lear) | Gözde IșikLady Macbeth (Macbeth) | Gülİstan SarbasLauncelot Gobbo (The Merchant of Venice) | Semba TekİnKing Lear (King Lear) | Tuncay AkpinarCaliban (The Tempest) | Seda ÇelİkKatherine (The Taming of the Shrew) | Eser RüzgarShylock (Merchant of Venice) | Denİz OkuProspero (The Tempest) | Özlem TașDramaturgy by | Stephanie TillotsonMusic by | Jan ÇIitakSinging by | Hüseyİn ErdoǧanVideo Editor by | Asli TokmanPoster Design by | Can AksoyImage by | Berrin Bugay LawlerProduction Assistance by | Bora Bicakiwww.seyyar.companywww.facebook.com/seyyarcompanywww.instagram.com/seyyarcompanywww.youtube.com/channel/UClJlJDJKbTGUEb2hxv1pf-Awww.tiktok.com/@seyyarcompanyopen.spotify.com/user/3b0cyl3st83fthn2aubq6awklsoundcloud.com/seyyar-company Watch TrailerThis is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com

Shakespeare sits in his script-, costume- and prop-strewn attic amending his Will, when his Muse magically materialises. ‘Why are you here?’ She points to the audience. ‘I’ve come to prove to them you wrote the plays.’ ‘How?’ ‘By getting you to reveal where you “signed them”.’ ‘Screw you.’ What follows is a heart-warming, at times tragic, often heated debate between them – the Muse hurling Will’s own lines in his face – that ultimately reveals the truth and the urban legends that make up Will’s life and works, allowing him to adopt the motto: ‘Not Without Right’.Written by | Colin CoxCastWilliam Shakespeare | Colin CoxThe Muse | Alessandra MañónDirected by | Fran de Leonwillsplayers.org This is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com

Out of Line is a 6-minute dance short capturing a woman’s psychological and physical resistance against rules defined by men – both on the ballroom floor and in reality. Inspired by the rigid follower/leader dynamic of standard ballroom, the piece exposes the invisible shackles imposed on women. Through struggle, isolation, rebellion and exploration, she seeks liberation, but can she ever truly break free? With striking choreography, a haunting performance, and feminist urgency, the film opens up questions about power, gender, and autonomy – all without speaking a single word.Directed by | Jin LiChoreographed by Xi Liu and Jin Li Watch Trailer

Original multimedia performance inspired by Kyle Yamada’s play The Fahrenheit Alliance. Actors trapped in their room by Covid-19 organise a secret, invisible alliance on the cloud, transcending walls and distance. The play poses a secret way of gathering during an emergency time when we are forbidden to assemble in one place. One person records a voice for someone else. that someone listens and performs along with the recording. The performer then records their voice for another person, thus passing the baton.First shown in Edinburgh at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this version of the work is also known as The Fahrenheit Alliance IIIA live version of this work is, The Fahrenheit Alliance V, can be also experienced in our Edinburgh Fringe 2025 seasonThe same company perform The Story of the Tower in our digital on-demand programmeThis is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.comCreated by | Mitsuko Hirai and Rob MorenoText by | Kyle Yamada (Allergen Theatre)Music by | Mayumi IshidaPhysical Expression by | Mitsuko HiraiVoice and Video Clip by | Tamaki KobayashiStage Design and Video Clip by | Xu WenfeiFilm by | Rob MorenoProduced by | Mitsuko Hiraiwww.mitsukohirai.comwww.facebook.com/mitsuko.hirai.5www.instagram.com/hiraimitsuko/ Watch Trailer

Two people, disconnected from themselves and weighed down by emotional residue, discover a ritual of release. Through breath, shaking, and raw, expressive movement, they begin to shed what their bodies have held. One resists. One rises. Together they remember joy. Unbound is a 6-minute, non-verbal dance-theatre work exploring how stress and trauma live in the body – and how we can clear them. Drawing on somatic practices and lived experience, The Code Collective presents a bold, healing piece designed to move audiences emotionally and physically. Visceral, minimal, and human, this is movement that refuses to stay still.Created, Choreographed and Performed | Rachel SyderPerformed by | Bajoura JonkerSound Design and Music Editing by | Rachel SyderProduced by | The Code Collective

Language creates awareness and reinforces stereotypes, but what if the vocabulary is not enough to describe one’s identity? Female, male, both or neither. It is difficult to describe in words what has long been a reality. The traditional gender division based on one’s sex is far outdated. However, do our language and behaviour follow this change? This interactive dance film addresses the following questions: What impact does language have on gender differentiation? How do certain meanings of a word become established? And what cultural, political and ethical influence do these have on us and our bodies?Written by | Darja Reznikova and Angela WendtPieces and Performers:Opening | João Kreth d'OreyLost in Translation | Felix ChangThe Living Room | Marco Labellarte and Cecilia PonteprimoDeep Blue Sea | Miriam MarklRe-birth | Anthony SelwynProjections | Lorenzo PonteprimoThe Gathering | Miriam Markl, Lorenzo und Cecilia Ponteprimo,Felix Chang, Anthony Selwyn, Marco Labellarte, João Kreth d’Orey, Sabio JaniakDirected by | Darja ReznikovaDramaturgy by | Angela WendtLighting and Set Design by | Mireille SolomonCostume Design by | Susana FlorêncioGraphics by | Schreiner Medien DesignLocation by | Altes Stromwerk Mannheim Watch TrailerThis is a digital on-demand performance available to view online at any time throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 | After the Fringe, the performance will be continue to be available at www.CtheArts.com
