Bademler Village is one of the most interesting village in Turkey, with its culture and very typical customs. It is 10kms to Urla and 60kms to Izmir. In 1969 the theatre hall of the village was constructed and up today all the inhabitants are very much interested in theatre both as audiences and actors. During the day inhabitant are working in the farms and greenhouses but in the evenings most of them become one of the actors on stage. This village is also famous for its very typical wedding ceremonies and Sea Festival during which all the village goes to the seaside and spend one or two days under the tents. This festival does not have proper dates, it depends on the locals will.
« I think our work has really opened the eyes of the youth there. I think that, because of our presence, some local youths got the chance to learn about other cultures which they wouldn't have otherwise. »
