Kundura Performance, in its program prepared based on the oral history narratives of Kundura Hafıza, places emphasis on exploring the relationship between space and body, influenced by its transformation as a space and the memory of the factory. Curated by S. Buse Yıldırım, the Artistic Director of Beykoz Kundura, the event program focuses on documentary theater, primarily featuring performances and plays created with influences from oral history and biographical drama.
Kundura Performance programs dance and documentary theater-focused works in the performance field, also hosts a wide range of musical experiences and projects in the music domain
