Devrim Yakut — Biography

Devrim Yakut is an actress who came up through the state-theatre stage and became a recognizable presence in film and television, also working as an administrator and teacher. Born Seher Devrim, she now plays Hayriye in Rüya Gibi, and the films D.I.S.C.O. and Sonunda Sen are among her 2026 projects.

She graduated from the theater department of Ankara University's Faculty of Language and History-Geography in 1992. From 1994 to 2003 she worked at the Adana State Theatre and, at the Adana Theatre Workshop that she helped found, also served as producer and instructor. She was appointed to the Ankara State Theatre in 2003, became its deputy director in 2007 and director in 2007-2008, and retired from the State Theatres in 2016. From 2005 she taught basic acting at her alma mater and also taught on Bahçeşehir University's master's program.

She began on television with Hisarbuselik, and played Mihriban in Cesur ve Güzel, Gülcihan in Camdaki Kız and Canan Hanzade in Kirli Sepeti. In film she played Hatice in Düğün Dernek and its sequel Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet, and Ayda Özay in Ekşi Elmalar. Her first book of stories, Aklımın Aynalı Çarşısı, appeared in 2021.

Their work through different eyes

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

The same social type keeps coming back in Devrim Yakut's films: the mother and the aunt. In Düğün Dernek and Aile Arasında she completes the comedy's crowded, local family picture, and Ayda in Ekşi Elmalar is the mayor's wife. In my view these roles show a generation of women placed within the family circle, in the supporting seat.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

Düğün Dernek and Aile Arasında, both with Devrim Yakut, are comedies for watching together; old and young laugh at the same things. Kelebeğin Rüyası is the story of two young poets in the Second World War years, a heavier subject, so it suits older children.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Devrim Yakut's most repeated form on the big screen is the mother or aunt of the BKM comedies. In Düğün Dernek 2: Sünnet and 8 Saniye this part, in my view, goes no further than playing the template. Rüştü's Mother in Kelebeğin Rüyası shows that even a short place inside a drama lets Yakut set the balance; one wishes the comedies wrote her with that nerve.
