The play is staged as a part of 2013 Turkish Culture Year in China. 'Keloglan', meaning "bald boy" is a well known Turkish folk tale character. He stands for an Anatolian boy who has big dreams but is honored, helpful and romantic. He is fatherless, sympathetic, stupid, naive, who is a peasant boy and lives with his old mother. Keloglan always wins at the end of the tales and succeeds by ruses or cunning.
