For Airports

"For Airports" is the title of the play I’m writing. My main concept is to somehow think of airports as space without any possibility of establishing a social community. Marc Augé suggests the name non-places for such space that unlike other usual public places are anti-anthropological. This idea guided me further to think about the kind of human who could be perfectly adjusted to this space. A figure who resembles this space, let’s say a person who is born with elements of a non-place, the superman of airports. I came up with this character whose whole being can be summed up in transience and mobility. 

In my first showing in “Work in Progress Festival,” Instead of presenting my drafts, I invited the audience to participate in collaborative writing. At the same time, I tried to create a new space for these script exercises based on my perception of the Airport as a non-place. For this matter, I chose an online platform as my stage where the audience could interact discreetly.
