Sümer Erek, formerly Ülmen Aygın, told the story of his 1974 displacement from Limassol to Girne and his kidnapping, attempted murder and the murder of his student friend Müharrem Özdemir in İstanbul in 1977.

The performance is followed by an exhibition — 1973-2018 Ülman Aygın Sümer Erek — which runs until November 7, with viewing hours from 1pm to 9pm daily.
