A 2023 Turkish fantasy-musical, Alice Muzikali reimagines the Wonderland journey for a smartphone generation, following one woman's escape from a stalled life into a world built from her own imagination.
What is Alice Muzikali about?
Alice feels boxed in by routine and unspoken expectations until a mobile app pulls her toward something stranger than an ordinary distraction. Chasing a white rabbit through its glowing interface, she tumbles into a fantastical realm that answers to no one's logic but her own. There, music becomes a language of its own, guiding her past oddities and temptations as she keeps circling back to one unresolved question: who is she, really, once the noise of daily life falls away? Courage, in this story, is less about grand heroics than about facing down private fears dressed up as fantastical obstacles. Director Serdar Biliş leans into color, choreography, and song to stage that inner conflict as something visual and danced rather than simply spoken, turning an identity crisis into a stage the audience can watch unfold in real time.
About the cast
Serenay Sarıkaya leads as Alice, joined by Ezgi Mola, Enis Arıkan, Şükrü Özyıldız, İbrahim Selim, Merve Dizdar, and Ecrin Su Çoban rounding out a cast pulled from Turkish film and television.
Context & significance
The production sits inside a small but growing wave of Turkish fantasy-musical films that borrow a familiar Western fairy tale skeleton and rebuild it around local stars, music, and stagecraft, aiming the story at audiences who grew up on both Lewis Carroll's Wonderland and contemporary Turkish pop. That hybrid approach lets the film move between genres freely, using song sequences to carry emotional beats that a straight drama would have to spell out in dialogue, and leaning on practical sets and costume rather than heavy effects to build its version of a world down the rabbit hole.
