Tonight, I had the pleasure of attending the first showing of this wonderful play ("katakakhaghq boloris masin" as they called it). If you like Michael Poghosian's work, this is a must-see. For those of you who watched and appreciated "Khatabalada" - you gotta see this one too.

 

The script was written by Aghasi Ayvazyan ("Menq Enq Mer Sarer@", "Dzayn Barbaro" and many other genious works belong to his pen).

 

The performers are Michael Poghosian, Shaqe Tuxmanyan and Zhan Nshanyan. The "Synthesis" dance ensemble participates also. The musical sections are wonderful. Great choice of songs.

 

Michael Poghosian's new CD called "Songs" was released also.

 

Those of you interested can catch the 2nd and 3rd showings on February 10 and 11 at Occidental College (Thorne Hall). For tickets call 818-247-9690 and ask for Anna.

Here is one of the songs from the play (which also is on the CD).

 

Tagh Andznakan

 

Toghats Karsum, geti apin, tuns` shinvats antash qarov,

Kars@ toghats, Karsi aygin u hayreni yerkinq@ mov

Yev Karine Qotanjyanin angam chasats mnas barov --

Ants em kenum hima otar qaghaqneri janaparhov:

 

Ants em kenum, shurjs - mardiq, shurjs demqer haza~r -haza~r

Shurjs ashxarhn e aghmkum, mardkayin kyanqn anhavasar

Yev ov kasi` inchu es du? yev ov kasi, te ur hasar?

Demqer@, ax, but en aynpes` kartses shinvats linen taparov:

 

Gorsh, taghtkali u xelagar yerg e kartses ays kyanq@ mi.

Inch-vor meki srtum batsvats - verq e kartses ays kyanq@ mi

Yev um hamar? - el um hamar? karotakez yerge himi

Sirts` ltsvats tarineri seghm arjijov u kaparov:

 

Bayts shurjs togh vorqan kuze ashxarh@ ays xnda, tsndi--

Yes--hasmandam u xelagar u havityan vtarandi`

Depi yerkinq piti gnam, depi yezerq@ Amenti --

Im bartsr, hin u astghayin yerazneri janaparhov ...

 

U el amen meghqi hamar sirts hima uni hima nerum.

Piti andarts yes heranam, piti gnam` achqs e herun.

Te Karine Qotanjyanin tesneq Karsi poghotsnerum --

Aseq nran` Charents asav - Mnas baro~v, mnas baro~v ....

 

Lyrics by Yeghishe Charents

Music by Robert Amirxanyan
