Mehmet Ali Alabora was famous already at 18. Although he was related to theatre through his family he chose to lead the career of a journalist. He was a war reporter in conflict zones for a private TV-station. He was handsome, charismatic young hero reporting on the Intifada, being an idol for many, when he at some point realized that he is no longer able to cope with what he has seen and experienced. So he became an actor like his parents and an activist for anti-militaristism. Alabora quickly gained a reknown and often appeared in tv-series, films and on stage. When Övül ja Mustafa Avkiran in 2005 founded the Istanbul multidisciplinary center garajistanbul, Alabora was a founding member.
