(CNN) -- A play featuring dialogue in Kurdish is to be performed for the first time at a Turkish state theater Thursday in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir.

Director Tamer Levent said that performing parts of 'Olumu Yasamak' -- or 'Living Death,' a play dealing with blood feuds in the predominantly Kurdish southeastern region -- would add a 'special dimension' to the performance."
