Court of Beasts is a performance in which I bring together seven wearable animal figures I encountered in the urban landscape of Istanbul: a crow, a wild boar, a hedgehog, an Istanbul wall lizard, a retired horse from Büyükada, a rabbit I adopted in childhood, and a giant African snail. Through voice, movement, and sound, I weave fragments of fables and theoretical texts drawn from contemporary animal studies and the sections on animals in the Epistles of Ikhwan al-Safa (İhvan-Safa Risaleleri), a 10th-century encyclopedic corpus of philosophical and scientific knowledge. Rather than staging a court or a trial, the performance unfolds as a ritual organized around a circular gathering, where bodies and voices move around a shared center, hierarchies loosen, and animals appear as presences—circulating, testifying, and dispersing back into the city.
