Throughout the three-day BCF Keşif events, under the guidance of program curator Emre Erbirer, we will explore the various functions of play in our lives, using music and conversations to open doors to new possibilities. The insights we gain from each door will serve as reminders of the boundless power of play, which we all embraced wholeheartedly during our childhood but might occasionally lose sight of as we mature.

In “Play with Me: Game in Songs,” we will examine the role of play in our daily lives. Within this performative session led by music writer and presenter Murat Meriç, we will trace the threads of “Play” through Turkey’s musical history, songs, albums, music videos, concerts, and stage performances.
