HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MHER MKRTCHYAN
Today is the birthday of the happiest and saddest artist of the Armenian
cinematography and theater: Mher Lazarian would be 75 today. «I had no
childhood, no kindergarten, and no yard. What I saw was the theater since my
early years», these are the words of Mher Lazarian describing his love for
theater from early childhood.
He lived with the characters he embodied, so the audience so not his play on
the stage, but a life. This was the secret of the endless love the people
had for the artist. This was the power and the magic of his art.
The teacher of Mher Lazarian, Vardan Achemyan, describing him said once,
«This young man has great future, but someone must accompany him all the
time, he cannot do anything alone».
He spent the last days of his life in loneliness. He was alone with his
grief - ruins of his native town, loss of his daughter, illness of his son,
the grave social situation in the country. This was the loneliness which
Vardan Achemyan meant.
For 12 years the Armenian theater has been living without Mher Lazarian,
but the theater named after him will try today to relive one of his
characters in the play «Baker's Wife» keeping the memory of the Great artist
warm in our hearts forever.
