Fantastic show- really different - Fantastic show. Totally different to anything we’ve seen before. Really well put together with mix of CGI and only 2 performers. Would definitely recommend 👍

Turkish legends that needs some spicing up - I went for the show as I hoped to learn some stories of Istanbul. While the show did enlighten me on some of the legends associated with Turkiye and I commend the use of digital scenography that offers a visual impact, and minimal cast to bring out the different roles, I could not help feeling that something is lacking and the show seems dragging sometimes.

I would not recommend - There was some good information in the show however it is mostly a projection of a computer generated graphics. The postee makes it look like there is more cgarayabd acting in in than there actually is. The story is really told through the video with pre-recorded voice overs playing.

Tourist Trap. Avoid this! - It is imperative that I warn everyone that this show is 100% a tourist trap. The ticket price of near 2000 TL was a complete rip off. The production value was equivalent to an 8th grade school production. The theater was small and the seats uncomfortable. Do yourself a favor and avoid this.
