The main attraction of the festival was Kumpanya's dramatic adaptation of a part of Sevim Burak's Everest My Lord. This big production designed by Bülent Erkmen and Naz Erayda was performed in and outside an old stone house 10km.outside Assos. Names of domestic appliances (table, saltshaker, jar, etc), verb conjugations that define domestic actions (to study, to sleep) are projected upon the surface of a stone house. Inside the windows stand the players who repeat these words, or other hidden ones. Kumpanya reveals the level of manipulation involved in a person's, especially a woman's relationship with the house objects, how imposing they can be, causing schizophrenia and alienation.
