Crane researchers have discovered that the place where the cranes die is supposed to be their ancient homeland, so they are seeking their homeland, which no longer exists.”The preceding words are the opening lines of a play that is based on the story Mother’s Silence (Annes Schweigen), composed by an author and human rights activist of Turkish origin, Doghan Akhanli, who currently lives in Germany.
