Monologue: Humanity Trapped Inside the Borders 

People have become beings imprisoned in their own world. Their orientation has been narrowed, their freedom areas have been exhausted and they are stuck in a deep loneliness. Some of them are aware, some of them are not; but most of them have come under the control of someone else. The ways that life offers them are nothing but illusions. They think that they are acting only on their own volition, but every step leads them towards an order that they are not even aware of. These people, who have been thrown away like garbage, have lived under the rule of others all their lives, have lost the ability to express themselves, and have become beings whose sense of belonging has been taken away. This situation inevitably leads them to easy acceptance. Far from questioning, they are trapped in a vicious circle of habitual memorization and a straight life. Ideas lose their freedom; emotions remain captive within the boundaries drawn by others. 

However, people grow, develop and find themselves in dialogues. But how sad that they were deprived of these dialogues. Mutual conversation, discussion, exchange of ideas, the ability to express their feelings clearly have become a luxury for humanity. Most of them spend their entire lives without being able to engage in a real dialogue at least once in their lives. They disappear into silence, drowning in their loneliness. The words of others become their truth; the ideas of others become their thoughts. It becomes their destiny to live under someone else's shadow. This monologue tells about this stuck and deep loneliness of a person. A picture is being drawn of a world in which a person becomes alienated even to his own internal dialogues, disappears into silence without being able to engage in any meaningful conversation throughout his life. This is exactly what I want to tell with this project: the fact that people cannot engage in mutual dialogues throughout their lives and get lost in this lack.To reveal these silent cries in life, to reveal the inner confinement of man and the longing for freedom... This monologue reminds us once again how essential it is to think, question, talk and really live. 

By-the-bye
