The children's inclusive theater studio "Ta-Tal" (So Talented) presented a new production, "Return Ticket, or When We Were Big," dedicated to the eternal theme of parent-child relationships. The play was directed by Aylara Bayramova, according to the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan."

The play's plot is straightforward and simple. Office workers (played by the young actors' parents), immersed in work until late at night, communicate with their children through short text messages: "Are you home?", "I'll be late, have dinner without me," "Order yourself a pizza," "I'll call you back, I don't have time right now." At the same time, adults yearn for their bygone childhood, for those times when life was filled with games, dreams and boundless freedom, and they dream of returning to it again.

Their wish is granted by the time fairy. Having transformed into children (at this point, the studio members take the stage), the adults begin to understand how hard it can be for a child when their mother works late, and they simply want to feel the warmth of their parents' love.

The director created a unique space on stage for dialogue, for deep reflection on what is truly important for adults and children.

This isn't the only play on the theme of family values in the studio's repertoire. For example, another play, "Letters to Mother," is a heartfelt, childlike expression of love for the most precious thing a person has—their mother. What makes this play unique is that the letters were written by the studio members themselves, the source notes.
