Hazal lives in a remote village in Eastern Anatolia where all the land is owned by the Aga and the Priest's word is law. Circumstances, and the Aga's decree, force her into marriage with 11-year-old Omer and a life of humiliation by his doting mother.

Stages
For the past ten years Peter Brook and his unique company of actors have travelled the world with a series of extraordinary theatrical ventures. The last stage of their journey was Australia.
Here, in a disused quarry in the hills above Adelaide they perform some of their most popular plays, and a remarkable meeting takes place with tribal Aboriginal performers who have travelled 1,000 miles to see a production of The Ik. This story, of the breakdown of a traditional tribal community, provides a moving parallel to the problems faced by the Aborigines themselves.
