Abstract
In this paper I will be exploring the importance of time and distance in relation to human catastrophes in terms of creating and presenting theatrical works to audience through my own personal perspectives and experiences as a writer/director. There will be four different personal examples: two plays, Old Child (2016) and Last World (2006) I wrote and directed, one project, Istanbul Testimonials I created in 2014 and questions and explorations for my new play Aksak or Delirium (pending name), in process of creation right now.
