BEAST ON THE MOON

By Shepherd Express Staff
"There was-and there was not," intones the elderly man in Armenian at
the start and end of Beast on the Moon, Richard Kalinoski's deeply
affecting play about two survivors of the Armenian Genocide. The
Armenian Genocide was carefully plotted and carried out by the Ottoman
government, resulting in the massacre of 1.5 million Armenian men,
women and children between 1915 and 1917. It is through the desperately
searching voices of 19-year-old Aram and his 15-year-old "mail order
bride" Seta that the underlying psychological horrors of witnessing
such unspeakable atrocities come full circle. In Tandem Theatre's
production of Beast on the Moon is a poignant, personal testament
to those Armenians who survived, as well as an important, timeless
voice for all those who perished, but still live on in remembrance,
spirit and faith.
