Azerbaijan State Theatre "Yuğ"

Everything, however, is more complicated as it seems because this burial ritual during which were played the scenes from the life of the deceased, symbolizes a return to the memory.

The actors try reminding the spectators of what they knew, maybe even in their past lives, but just forgot.

It regularly stages plays by William Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Giovanni Boccaccio, Nikolai Gogol, Kōbō Abe, as well as Azerbaijani classical and contemporary authors.
