NIGHT/LEYL

Leyl is about the holidays of those living as a minority in Hatay Turkey. During these festivals, sacrifices are made and a dish similar to keskek, which the locals call 'hriyse', is made. This meal is distributed to the children of the neighborhood by filling them in containers they bring from their homes. On the occasion of this holiday, the features of minority culture such as cooperation and solidarity are shown. An answer is sought to the question of why this cultural activity, which is about to become extinct, should be continued.
