A unique performance for those who want not only to learn about Istanbul’s legends, but to experience them on stage.
At Yücel Cultural Foundation, we value bringing our audiences together with productions that transform Istanbul’s cultural heritage into an experience—not only something to be told, but something to be lived on stage. With this approach, we are hosting a visually and emotionally engaging performance at Yücel Arts Center.
Legends of Istanbul is a special stage production that brings together the city’s legends, historical figures, and cultural layers. This approximately 45-minute experience combines music, dance, live performance, digital effects, and strong visual storytelling.
From Medusa to Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi, and from Hürrem Sultan to the iconic symbols of the city, the performance reinterprets Istanbul’s past at the intersection of mythology, history, and art.
Blending traditional storytelling with contemporary stage technology, Legends of Istanbul takes its audience on a timeless journey through the memory of the city.
Special participation fee for Culture Hunters: 50 TL
The remaining cost of the event is covered by Yücel Cultural Foundation.
Culture Hunters members can purchase their tickets directly via yucelkulturvakfi.org.
The Culture Hunters project by Yücel Cultural Foundation aims to make cultural and artistic events more accessible to young people, while encouraging them to explore and share these experiences together.
Culture Hunters is more than an audience—it is a community that engages with events, reflects on them, and builds a stronger connection with culture and the arts. Through these events, participants gain access to high-quality artistic experiences and contribute to a shared cultural atmosphere.
Legends of Istanbul is part of the Culture Hunters program, inviting everyone who wishes to experience the legends of Istanbul on stage to Yücel Arts Center.
We look forward to welcoming everyone who wants to be part of this experience.
