Meaningful Collaboration with LudensArt for Students:
Our Play ‘Bir Küçük Parantez’ to be Performed at Maximum UNIQ Hall on June 11-12

 

In alignment with our commitment to corporate social responsibility, we are delighted to announce a new and impactful project in partnership with LudensArt, an esteemed producer of artistic content. As part of this initiative, our play “Bir Küçük Parantez,” written by LudensArt and brought to life by the talented members of the Softtech Theatre Club, will grace the stage of Maximum UNIQ Hall on June 11-12. The proceeds from ticket sales will be donated by the Okul Destek Derneği to support the education of students, with a focus on those in the regions affected by earthquake.

We continue to champion social responsibility projects that provide tangible benefits to our community. In this spirit, we are proud to collaborate with LudensArt to present “Bir Küçük Parantez” at Maximum UNIQ Hall on June 11-12. Authored by LudensArt and performed by our dedicated volunteers from the Softtech Theatre Club, this play represents a significant cultural endeavor. The revenue generated from ticket sales will be utilized by the Okul Destek Derneği to enhance educational opportunities for students, particularly those in areas impacted by natural disasters.

“We Aim to Enhance Our Employees’ Awareness of Social Responsibility”

Reflecting on the initiative, our Human Resources Director, Aslı Abacı, shared, “Our aim is to foster an environment where our employees can explore their creativity and talents, thereby deepening their commitment to social responsibility. Through our collaboration with LudensArt, we intended to support the personal and professional growth of our employees at Softtech. We encouraged them, many of whom had no prior acting experience, to embark on this journey of self-discovery and mutual understanding, ultimately strengthening their bonds and teamwork. To facilitate this, we established a comprehensive acting workshop, offering training in dramaturgy, directing, diction, acting, effective communication, and body language over a set period. It brings us immense pride to see our employees now actively participating in various facets of theatre, uncovering and showcasing their creative potential. Moreover, we are elated that the play we will soon present will significantly contribute to the efforts of Okul Destek Derneği.”

“Harnessing the Power of Theatre”

Enver Murat Güçlü, General Coordinator and one of the founders of LudensArt, commented, “In our collaboration with Softtech, we set out to help employees develop both as team players and as individuals capable of expressing themselves more effectively. We harnessed the power of theatre for this purpose. After a five-month development period filled with workshops, events, practical exercises, and play viewings, we began rehearsals for our production. We are very excited and concentrating more every day. Knowing that our play will contribute to the Okul Destek Derneği brings us even greater joy.”

“Feeling the Unifying Power of Art Is a Great Source of Happiness for Us”

Suzan Acun İlhan, co-founder of LudensArt and the director of the play, remarked, “Theatre possesses a unique ability to integrate all forms of art, providing a platform to showcase the diverse talents of our employees within a theatrical framework. Those who once sat in the audience are now stepping onto the stage. The artist’s creative process is fully realized in practice, advancing one of our project’s goals of promoting theatre literacy. Witnessing talents transform into social benefits and feeling the unifying power of art is a profound source of joy for us.”

A Story of Reflecting Lives Amidst Ruins with Theater

“Bir Küçük Parantez” narrates the story of individuals who break away from routine through theatrical plays from various periods and authors, using theatre to reflect on their lives amidst the ruins. Developed over an intensive eight-month period by LudensArt and the Softtech Theatre Club, the play will be performed at Maximum UNIQ Hall on June 11 and 12. Tickets will be available for purchase on Biletix and Biletix.com.tr starting May 17.
