    In an undefined space and time, the ney’s “magical” notes create the Land of the Flute and its inhabitants, the bad Kara Seyfi, a greedy, violent and murderous feudal lord, and the prudent, fair and generous-souled Ayşe. Kara Seyfi has his eyes on Ayşe’s small piece of land and resorts to inhuman and criminal means to seize it: night attacks with his horse, threats and blackmailing. He is sure he will get what he wants, yet without taking into account Ayşe’s mental strength and the valuable aid of her companions.

    One day, at midday, while Ayşe and her companions, the rabbit and the pigeon, are enjoying the sun, a cloud appears in the sky. Gazing at Ayşe’s beautiful and clear eyes, he gets struck by cupid’s arrow and becomes “a cloud in love”. The feelings are mutual. The “cloud in love” becomes a witness of Kara Seyfi’s attacks against his beloved one and throws himself along with the others into the struggle to get rid of Kara Seyfi.

    The strong resistance of Ayşe and her companions make Kara Seyfi secretly crawl into her garden one night and set all the flowers on fire. The final battle starts, but Ayşe’s team is united. The “cloud in love” fights in the sky against Kara Seyfi’s allies, the wind and the snake, and at the same time he helps the rest of the team down on the earth fight against Kara Seyfi. Ayşe comes out of the battle victorious. But all the flowers are burnt down. The “cloud in love” decides to sacrifice himself so that they are reborn and that life continues. He sheds his tears –tears of a high-minded conscience– like a pouring rain. The scorched land gets softly watered. The “cloud in love” is gone, but the rain has brought the charred land back to life. Ayşe and the rest of her companion’s grief is tempered by the thought that her beloved one was sacrificed to give new life and that he will always be in their hearts.

    Act I / Cyprus, late 15th century. The people watch anxiously as a fierce storm batters the Venetian fleet sent to defend their island from the invading Turks. The Moor Otello, a Venetian general and Governor of Cyprus, lands his flagship safely in the port and announces the destruction of the Turkish fleet. Iago, Otello’s ensign, offers to help the wealthy Roderigo, who is in love with Desdemona, Otello’s wife. Iago hates Otello because he passed him over for advancement, promoting Cassio instead.

    While the citizens celebrate their governor’s victory and his safe return home, Iago tries to get Cassio drunk and provokes Roderigo to get into a fight with Cassio. Montano, the former governor of the island, tries to separate the pair, but Cassio attacks him too. Otello appears to restore order. Furious about his soldiers’ behaviour, he withdraws Cassio’s recent promotion and commands everyone to leave. Otello then returns to Desdemona’s side.

     

    Act II / Iago advises Cassio to present his case to Desdemona as she would be able to influence Otello and get Cassio reinstated. Iago watches Cassio approach Desdemona in the garden and when Otello enters, he makes casual remarks about Desdemona’s fidelity. Desdemona enters. Otello greets her lovingly, but when she brings up the question of Cassio’s demotion, he is angered. She offers him a handkerchief to cool his forehead, but he throws it to the ground. Her attendant Emilia, who is Iago’s wife, picks it up. As Desdemona tries to calm Otello, Iago seizes the handkerchief from Emilia. Otello asks everybody to leave. Only Iago remains in order to increase Otello’s suspicions. He invents a story of how Cassio spoke of Desdemona in his sleep; he mentions that he saw her handkerchief in Cassio’s hand. Exploding with rage and jealousy, Otello swears vengeance.

     

    Act III / A herald announces the imminent arrival of Venetian ambassadors. Iago assures Otello that he will soon have further proof of his wife’s betrayal. Desdemona enters and, after a while, she revives the subject of Cassio. When Otello demands the handkerchief he gave her, she responds that she doesn’t have it with her. Otello accuses her of infidelity and dismisses her. He hides as Iago returns with Cassio. Iago flashes the handkerchief he stole and leads the conversation with Cassio in such a way that Otello overhears only fragments and incorrectly assumes they are talking about Desdemona. Enraged, Otello vows to kill his wife that very night.

    He then greets the Venetian ambassador Lodovico, who recalls him to Venice and appoints Cassio to govern Cyprus. Losing control at this news, Otello pushes his wife to the floor, hurling insults. He orders everyone out and collapses in a seizure.

     

    Act IV / Emilia helps Desdemona prepare for bed. Frightened, Desdemona sings of a maiden forsaken by her lover and finally recites her prayers. As soon as she has fallen asleep, Otello enters and wakes her with a kiss. When Otello starts to talk about killing her, she is horrified and protests her innocence, but Otello strangles her. Emilia enters with news that Cassio has killed Roderigo. Seeing the dying Desdemona, she summons help. Iago’s plot is finally revealed. Realising what he has done, Otello stabs himself.
