Kemal collects objects connected with his beloved Füsun, as though they could preserve a lost happiness. In the stage version of Orhan Pamuk’s novel, love becomes a story about time, memory and the cost of personal choices. Kamal Theatre’s production may appeal to readers of Pamuk and visitors who enjoy psychological drama.
How a personal story becomes a museum
The novel is set in the 1970s and 1980s. Kemal, from a wealthy circle, falls in love with a woman from a different social background. Their relationship and mistakes gradually change the meaning of his collection, turning it into a way of returning to the past.
Nikita Kobelev directed the production, which premiered on 20 December 2025. It is performed in Tatar with simultaneous interpretation into Russian and English. See a familiar literary story through the stage language of another cultural setting.
