Requiem 2009
This is a story about dreams and responsibility.
My dream is to become a theatre director, but my occupation is a stage designer. I am a husband, so on 5 November 2009, I prepared a gift for my baby, that is, 'Requiem 2009', which I had directed myself. Nineteen days after the premiere, my son was born. But my wife did not understand my behavior. Now, five years later, I still have the chair in 'Rrequiem 2009', my son is five years old and sometimes asks me about the difference between it and our other chairs. I tell him that he'll know when he grows up. After finishing 'Requiem 2009' I have decided to stop directing, but still work on stage design.
