The "Memory Theater" is designed as an interactive art of play. In our past, we invite our imaginary characters to our play to enter understand and make sense of life by portraying different identities and personalities.

It is through dialogues and performances that we develop by coming together imaginatively with many artists, thinkers, writers and characters who existed in different periods of time.

Each of the seven columns representing the Prophet Solomon’s seven commandments symbolizes a different character. On the right and left of the columns are the gods of wisdom and justice. The goddess of justice blindfolde represents impartiality and objectivities. The goddess of wisdom, Athena, is the goddess of intelligence, art, strategy, inspiration and peace. Her dazzling beauty blinds those who look at her.

At the entrance of the hall of the “Memory Theater” is Hera, the goddess of women and family, and at the exit is Anubis, the god of the dead. In the play, they symbolize dramatic contrasts in life. William Shakespeare stated that if a play ends with a wedding, it's a comedy, and if it ends with a funeral, it's a tragedy. Contrasts allow us to better understand the intertwined contradiction in the theater on earth. According to Schopenhauer, one’s knowing that one is going to die is a tragedy, but the real tragedy is that one forgets about death until the last scene. In fiction, tragedy is made beautiful through art, and the human soul is freed from passions.

This play puts love, curiosity and quest in the center of real life and transforms by striving to understand, hear and design life. These personal and social symbols and narratives are about the construction of art.
