Listen: UCLA professor's art emulates life in Soviet Armenia
By Lilit Arakelyan
The sound of an arriving train brings the audience into Professor
Anahid Keshishian's one-woman show, as she and her family leave their
home in pre-revolutionary Iran and arrive in Soviet Armenia to begin
their new life. "Ka Yev Chka II," which means "There Is and There
Isn't" in Armenian, is the second one-woman show the Near Eastern
Languages and Cultures professor has written and performed. Radio
reporter Lilit Arakelyan sits down to talk with Professor Keshishian
about her decision to write and perform her story, how the show came
to fruition and what message she hopes her audience - particularly
her students - will take away.
