Part two of This Never Happened is a performance lecture that takes a chilling look at the rapid radical Islamization of the modern Republic of Turkiye within the last decade. Through a journey in time, the piece chronicles the ways in which the country’s history and culture is manipulated through fear, intimidation, mass arrests, and foreign intervention until a newly formed culture overwrites the old.
