Nilgun Yerli

In her cabaret show "Are You Sure?", Nilgün Yerli asks one central question: under what conditions does love actually exist? Those conditions turn out to differ quite a bit depending on age, culture, IQ and EQ - and Nilgün takes you through that maze.

To get in the mood beforehand, you can test yourself on your own certainties. Check off what applies to you:

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
☐ Love makes you blind, but not deaf (I hear everything).
☐ I don't have "my type", but it turns out to be exactly the same type every time.
☐ My ex was crazy. (All of them.)

POLITICS & SOCIETY
☐ Politicians really do read their own election manifestos.
☐ I once read a party programme all the way through.
☐ The country was better in the old days, but I'm not sure exactly when.

CULTURE & IDENTITY
☐ I sometimes nod as if I know who that artist is.
☐ I've once said "interesting" while thinking: "what is this?".
☐ I know the difference between quinoa and couscous without googling.

PHILOSOPHY & LIFE
☐ Money doesn't make you happy. (But I'd like to test it.)
☐ I live in the moment. (Except when I'm on my phone.)

THE FUTURE
☐ In 10 years everything will be better.
☐ Artificial intelligence will help us, not replace us.
☐ My pension will be fine.
☐ I'm soon going to really spend less time on my phone.
☐ Tomorrow I'll start exercising.

EVERYDAY CERTAINTIES
☐ I always read the terms and conditions.
☐ I understand my energy bill.
☐ I know how my wifi works.
☐ I can point to one drawer in my house where I'm sure what's inside.
☐ I'm sure I'm going to Nilgün Yerli's show.

Are you sure?
