It is a kind of dramatic homage to a woman who came to her end to make a new beginning.
-When I was thinking of making a play about the person who was my example and inspiration during my teenage years, I always thought of her as if it were two people. Undoubtedly its duality is evident; her two characters and her two stories. One is the story of an insecure, tender, unacceptable and unprotected girl, and the other is about a brave, aggressive founder of a new list of criteria for women. One because of which she lived, and the other because of which she died. One that was coming to an end for the other to start. It was not until later that I came across the fact that Janice was named after the god Janus. It is about the Roman God at the end and the beginning. It is usually shown with two faces, one looking at the beginning and the other at the end, says the director Petrovic.
