Due to the ongoing situation regarding the corona virus and the continuous efforts exerted by the government to curb the spread of the pandemic. Prejudice* was performed indoor on 10 April 2020 and was part of the ReConnect Online Festival.

Based on true events, Önyargı (Prejudice) discusses mainly the discrimination in our lives based on gender, religion, race or beauty standers. Sometimes, people are buried on the inside while they’re still alive because they are afraid of the society’s judgement. Therefore, they prefer to stay indoor to cover their bodies, to hide their sins and to isolate themselves from a society who have an opinion not based on an actual experience.

- * Prejudice: In his book The Nature of Prejuidce p6, the American psychologist Gordon Allport defines Prejudice as a “feeling, favorable or unfavorable, toward a person or a thing, prior to, or not based on an actual experience.”
