Özet
This chapter focuses on two films of Pelin Esmer, The Play (2005) and Queen Lear (2019), which show how theater transforms the lives of a group of women from the countryside over fourteen years. The subjective experience of Esmer is also set forth by an in-depth interview covering her story from her first visit with a hand-held digital camera to a village in southern Turkey, initiated by a news item in 2003. Arendt's concept of plurality, as rejuvenated at the turn of the century by Kristeva, highlights the transformative power of storytelling with the premise "life is a narrative." The main argument of this chapter revolves around this premise, claiming that digitality and plurality increase female agency both on screen and behind the camera. © The Author(s) 2020.
