Mankurt

My project is based on a Turkic legend which was adapted in the novel The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years by Chingiz Aitmatov. 'Mankurt' is a term used to describe a mindless slave, who had their memory erased completely, as a result of a horrible torture. The story explores the topics of oppression and brainwashing, as well as the relationship between the mother and her son, who was turned into a mankurt.
