The official game of the state was written by Serdar ÖZTÜRK

The official game of the state One, two, three, medicine... A game in which a child faces the wall, suddenly turns round and everyone freezes in place, and anyone who moves or makes a sound is "burned". The aim is to move after everyone else. In fact, it is a game of silence invented to drown out the voices of the children around. A test of patience in which even a second seems too long and people are eagerly waiting to see who will make a sound first. People are waiting to be rescued from the rubble. Medicine. No tents. Medicine. No water. Medicine. No food. Medicine. They're selling the tents. Medicine. The houses are not earthquake-proof. Medicine. Where are our earthquake taxes? Medicine. People left to die in the hospital. Medicine. Actually, we lived this film during the pandemic. The state always concealed the number of people who died from Covid-19. The death figures announced day by day became unreliable after a while. After a long time, it was only a number in our lives. And so it is now. There was an earthquake, buildings collapsed. Days later, hope was given up and the ruins were seen as rubble and the construction machines dived in. Some people's arms and some people's legs disappeared under all that rubble. If you ask the government, everything is fine. Now, the casualties announced every few days have turned into ordinary figures again. Everything is fine. Anyone who says otherwise is a traitor. The state is mocking us all. More than that, it wants us to play the one-act official play imposed on society. One, two, three, medicine. Who will move first? Who will speak first? Or will we all speak together and burn together?
