An extraordinary actress, an unforgettable voice, a sea of knowledge to be watched with admiration… Moreover, Ayla Algan is a master of creativity who lives life like a performance and evaluates the uniqueness of every moment…
A process that begins with rejecting what exists; creativity. Criticizing what is happening, knowing the reasons for criticism, defending, rebelling… Reading Yunus Emre’s poems to people who don’t know anything about him in Paris, singing songs about Indians as a Turkish woman, and appearing before the audience with brand new methods are all parts of this. Every moment is a fierce struggle. Sometimes with the society, sometimes with his superiors, and sometimes just with himself. If Rollo May is right and creativity is a longing for immortality; Ayla Algan is undoubtedly a name that has shouted this longing to the world. Now, she is a name that will continue to live with the breath of every actor she touches, every stage she steps on, and every young person she works with.
A MOTHER WHO SHOWS THE WAY
Ayla Algan, the daughter of Cretan parents. While his father, Vedat Kasman, was growing up in an extremely wealthy family in Crete, he came to Istanbul at the age of 18, without a penny. Kasman, who found a job in the telegraph office with his knowledge of Greek, later started as a merchant and became the first hardware store of Thursday Market. His mother, Nevzat Kasman, the daughter of a Cretan family born in Istanbul, discovered his interest in painting thanks to his father, Mustafa Kazım Kavur. Kasman, whose talent was discovered at a young age, started attending Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi in the second grade at the insistence of İbrahim Çallı. In addition to the sculpture and ceramics courses she took during her school years, she is also assertive as a stylist with her interest in fashion. Kasman, the owner of Istanbul’s first Turkish tailoring shop, produces models and couture under the brand “Patron Nevzat”. He cannot make money from painting, but he is an award-winning artist. Ms. Nevzat, who inspired Algan to show himself in many different disciplines, is the performer of all five tangos recorded in the 1930s. As the only daughter of a mother beyond her time and a devoted father, Algan received ballet, singing and piano training and grew up with painters and poets.
MULTICULTURALISM, MULTI-COLOURISM
While Algan grows up with the Turkish and Greek wealth that comes from her genes, she also meets different cultures in the houses his father keeps in BĂĽyĂĽkada. She often remembers the moments she lived with her Armenian, Greek and Jewish neighbors. she discovered the richness of different cultures at an early age with the cosmopolitan environment of BeyoÄźlu, where she spent his childhood, and her French nanny, who taught him Chopin. The West grows, but does not give up on Anatolia. The reason why he played Anatolian Gods instead of Greek Gods lies in her admiration for Anatolia.
