BIO
Büke Erkoç is a multilingual director, writer, performer, and published translator whose work spans devised theatre, adaptation, and dramaturgy. Her English-language solo play The Future Looks Bright—based on Turkish literature and directed and performed by Büke—is currently touring internationally after premiering in London.
In Istanbul, she is the co-creator of En Sevdiğinden Başla, the movement director of Mahallemiz Eşrafından, and the editor of Khôra. All three are currently running on stage and accessible to Turkish-speaking audiences.
Büke also hosts Aktarmalı Uçuyor(d)um, a Turkish-language podcast exploring themes of cultural identity, grief, and migration. Her work often draws from her lived experiences across Istanbul, Toronto, Paris, and London, and focuses on how language, memory, and place intersect in performance.
As a published translator, she brings contemporary stories and plays across languages and cultures, further deepening her commitment to transnational artistic exchange. She is currently developing a new French-language play, Automne à New Stockholm, which will premiere in Montreal in spring 2026 and explore exile, inheritance, and personal reinvention.
