WATERTOWN, Mass.-Sayat Nova Dance Company (SNDC) of Boston, one of
the leading Armenian dance companies in North America, returns to
the Charles Mosesian Theatre, Arsenal Center for the Arts, with a new
production on Feb. 23 and 24. "Journey Through Time" tells the story
of Armenia, from pagan times to the adoption of Christianity, from
struggles to preserve its culture to celebration of its independence.
With fiery dance, pounding drums, and oral recitations of ancient
stories, this company is known for its powerful, yet poignant
presentations. Women dance in colorful costumes, their bodies
gracefully swaying in unison, reaching out to the audience, whispering
"Remember," recalling the horrors of the genocide. The Battle of
Vartanantz is evoked with vibrancy and heart-pounding rhythms. The
traditional woodwind instrument, the duduk, creates an ethereal tone
as do the shadows giving way to light. These dances-fluid, energetic,
and ultimately triumphant-speak of a nation that has persevered
and thrives.
An independent, non-profit organization, now in its 27th year, Sayat
Nova has traveled the world, performing throughout the United States,
in Canada, and Armenia, to great popular acclaim.
"Journey Through Time" will be presented on Sat., Feb. 23, at 5
p.m., and on Sun., Feb. 24, at 4 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit
