PanARMENIAN.Net - A Boston-based dance company that tells the story
of Armenia's past will stop in Glendale on Jan 15 as part of its
national tour.
The Sayat Nova dance company will perform, "Journey Through Time,"
which is a new production for the company, which is entering its
25th year.
With over 20 dancers, the performance begins by paying homage to St.
Krikor Lousavorich and Armenia's conversion to Christianity. Followed
by a meditation on the Battle of Avarayr, the dance also tells the
story of the 1915 Armenian Genocide and how it particularly affected
Armenian composer Komitas, who died several years after the genocide
in a psychiatric clinic. It is said he never recovered from what he
witnessed during the genocide, Glendale News-Press reported.
