The play “Invisible Wounds” takes us into the world of two young women who are confronted with ableism on a daily basis and have decided to raise their voices. But what happens when the world around them prefers to listen away, close their eyes, put on their headphones and turn up the music?

The project provided a space for young people to talk about their experiences with ableism. Berkan Sarigül conceived, staged and organised a play together with young people (over 16). The resulting theatre piece combines the young people's stories and raises awareness of the needs of people with disabilities.
