Synopsis: | This is the world premiere of her Anahid Sofian's new dance/theater work Passage through Light and Shadows: The Children of Ararat, which she describes as "an ethos of the Armenian people, their culture, history, religion, arts and folklore." Sofian, who will appear as "The Rememberer," will present a large cast of actors/dancers, special choreography by guest Gagik Karapetian, director of the Armenian State Ensemble, and extensive video integrations created by Jeremy Haik. This very special season will also include two Saturday 4 PM showings of the long-lost 1919 silent film, Ravished Armenia, which was based on the autobiography of Aurora Mardiganian, who at age 15 escaped the massacres of the Armenians in 1915 Ottoman Turkey. Anahid Sofian, an acclaimed specialist in dances of the Near and Middle East, has worked for several years on this ambitious production, of which she states: "It is my artistic vision of being Armenian. I want to express my love for our ancient and rich culture, and honor my parents, who survived the Armenian Genocide." | |||||
