Who will be the king, and will there even be one?
Years pass, but Nazar remains the same. A ruler who ascended to the throne by a whim of fate is nothing but an ignorant fraudster, constantly followed by his likes…
The play discusses the idea of human eternity, which is always accompanied by incomplete logic.
By breaking the created illusion, you become a witness to a reality that is fake, shiny on the outside but hiding numerous inconsistencies within.

To arms!

“To arms! There is so much impulse and power in this short phrase. Few languages possess the expressiveness found in these two Armenian words. It’s a mad heroic march that rallies armies, directs them, compels them to storm, and leads to a certain victory. It’s a call, obeying the sacred meaning of which, intoxicated by Armenian fury, armies moved towards the borders of Armenia without fearing to face death.
The heroes of this story are people who have dreamed of peace since time immemorial. They seek ways to work, live, and create. Unfortunately, the leaders of great nations shout and make decisions that are unacceptable and incomprehensible to this people.”

When Nero was born, his father exclaimed, “I don’t think anything produced by me and Agrippina could possibly be good for the state or the people.” This is the story of Seneca, Nero’s teacher, who dreamt of raising a teenager who would respect the Senate and the ancient laws of Rome. He hoped that Nero would grow into a kind-hearted leader and leave behind the cruel times of former Caesars. “Once you’ve tasted what it’s like to be a god, you’ll never stop.”
The play retains its relevance to this day and will endure forever because human nature never changes; it perpetually seeks ultimate power.
