The play is dedicated to a tragic chapter in history—the deportation of Koreans from the Russian Far East to the Kazakh SSR in 1937. Through the fates of several families, the play reveals the life of the settlers during their early years in Kazakhstan, as well as during World War II. Despite hardships, people preserve their faith, friendship, and love—and most importantly, hope for a future where the truth will reach their descendants.
At the heart of the production is the strength, kindness, and generosity of the Kazakh people, who shared their bread and shelter. The story emphasizes the importance of human compassion and solidarity, highlighting the strength and unity of people in times of historical injustice. This play is not only about the past but also about eternal values—memory, friendship, and respect—that remain vital in today’s world.
The Road Home is a story of the past, told in the language of the present. It speaks of those who remained human against all odds. Of a memory we have no right to forget.
