THE EXAMINATION OF KOSE PLAY PERFORMED IN IGDIR IN THE CONTEXT OF THEATRICAL VILLAGE PLAY

Summary/Abstract: Village theatrical plays can be defined as the tradition of theater performed in rural areas and organized on important days of the year or special days. These theater plays not only reflect the cultural accumulation of the Anatolian people, but also contribute to meeting the theater and entertainment needs of the village life. According to experts who have worked on Traditional Turkish Theatre, it is very important to conduct research on village theatrical plays in order for the theater culture in Turkey to reach a universal quality. In addition, these researches can contribute to the transfer of village theatrical plays from generation to generation correctly and not to be forgotten. For these reasons, the research aims to examine the Kose play performed in the province of Igdir in the context of the village spectacle. The materials collected in the research, in which document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used, were taken from the archives of Igdir Provincial Public Library and Igdir Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism. The data were presented at the horizontal level by focusing on how the Kose village theatrical play was performed in Igdir, and then analysis was made by considering Metin And's suggestions for village theatrical play. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the Kose village theatrical play was performed on March 21 as a part of the Nevruz celebrations, which marks the beginning of spring. In addition, the revival of nature and the motifs of death and resurrection in the play indicate that the Kose play has ceremonial features. It has been determined that the village theatrical play has been performed by children recently and does not contain important motifs. However, within the scope of Nevruz events organized by the Provincial Culture and Tourism Directorate in the center of Igdir, the motifs of the village theatrical play continue to be performed by amateur theater actors. It has been observed that there are no elements such as decor, lighting or puppetry in the village theatrical play, and it has been determined that there are various distinctive features in terms of clothing in the people who will perform the leading roles.
