In this article, traces of the myth of origin and civilization, which became the sacred narratives of the new regime at the time of the proclamation of the Republic, will be revealed through Early Republican Era theatre plays. The article will emphasize the contribution that the myth of origin and civilization made to the process of construction of Turkish identity, as well as the effective part that it played throughout the nation-state building process by its creation of collective identity and historiography as well as its effect on the field of art. Furthermore, this paper will use examples from theatre plays of the period to analyze the reflections of the process of nation-building upon the theatre plays of the era, and to examine the relationship between the state and the theatre as well as the effects of the myth of origin and civilization (a necessity for the nation-state ideology) on the playwrights of that time. In addition, the way in which political myths become a necessity for playwrights will also be analyzed.
