A contemporary apocalypse inspired by flood myths.

Istanbul. Etiler. A café. The first signs of an approaching catastrophe—one that no one has yet been able to name—begin to seep into everyday life.

Amid the increasingly normalized conflicts, wars, and forms of destruction that shape our world, the lives of Nuh, İbrahim, Sara, Hacer, Yuşa, and Meryem unfold on the threshold of a great disaster—or perhaps within a collapse that has already begun. As echoes of ancient flood narratives intertwine with their stories, the six characters are drawn together through intersecting lives, hidden truths, and unexpected coincidences. Searching for their way through relationships shaped by love, belonging, faith, power, memory, and the instinct to survive, they find the myths of the past confronting the fragile realities of the present.

In a stage world shaped by sound, light, and faltering rhythms, the boundaries between reality and imagination, everyday life and apocalypse, Istanbul and mythology gradually dissolve.
