Life before death

Ankara State Opera and Ballet

Does life force us to think about death, or does the vision of death force us to think about how we live? Do we really have control over what our life will look like? What will happen if instead of the life given to us, we choose death? Is it worth following the ideas of goodness, compromise, and tolerance when we know how our end will look like anyway? Or maybe we should live without any rules or predetermined patterns? Maybe what is considered right by the majority of society is actually wrong? Who dictates the rules of life to us?
