Description:

In the beginning the plays were mainly in Judeo-Spanish but gradually it changed so that they were almost exclusively in Turkish, with some inserts in Ladino. He also gives an insight into his creative process, where he emphasizes that his sources of inspiration are really stories that could occur in any Turkish-Jewish home. Furthermore, he talks about the plays and their topics which became popular in the Jewish community over the past few years.
