Osman Sengezer: 46 Years of Decor and Costume | Theatre

Osman Sengezer’s interest in the theatre began when he was a schoolboy and later turned into a career to which he devoted his life. Sengezer worked with almost all of the private theatres in Turkey and his designs for stage and costume created throughout his career were exhibited at home and abroad, winning many prizes at the festivals in which he took part. Yasar Kemal’s play, "Uzundere", produced at the Ankara Experimental Theatre by Yilmaz Onay, which broke the national laws governing the performing arts, was secretly performed in Nancy, France taking part in the 14th Universites’ Theatre Festival where it was awarded the grand prix. Following this success, the play was performed in Turkey and won first prize at the Turkish Students’ Federation International Theatre Festival in 1967.
