THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BRING COLLAGE OF CULTURE WITH THE EGYPTIAN-ARMENIAN FOLKLORIC TROUPE
Al-Bawaba
April 10 2013
Zankezour Egyptian-Armenian folk troupe will perform at Al-Gomhoreya
Theatre on Thursday, 11 April.
Aside from the series of known Armenian dances, the evening will
also include Indian and Italian dances, choreographed by Suzan
Karkur-Hagopian.
The performance will also include a short sketch titled Kach Nazar
(Nazar the Brave); a fairy tale written by Hovhanness Tumanyan (1869
- 1923), considered to be one of the most important Armenian poets,
writers and activists. His works include poems, quatrains, ballads,
novels, fables, critical and journalistic articles.
Entrance is free for the performance organised by the Goganian Armenian
Club, which aims to spread the wealth of Armenian culture.
According to estimates, today the Armenian community in Egypt does
not exceed 6,000 throughout Cairo and Alexandria.
The community is characterised by strong unity and a cherishing of
Armenian tradition, culture and language. It organises periodic
artistic events, several of which take place in commemoration of
important figures and historical events related to the Armenian
community worldwide.
One of the recent events was a concert commemorating 110th birth
anniversary of Aram Khachaturian (1903-1978) held by Arax Choir
conducted by Mihran Ghazelian, which took place on 16 March, at the
Nubarian Armenian School in Heliopolis.
Programme:
