More than 200 German actors will read Franz Werfel's "40 Days of Musa
Dagh" at the Nuremberg State Theatre, German film director Christian
Papke told reporters in Yerevan.
"We have planned to organize a 40-hour ongoing reading of that novel
by 200 actors. It is good that the world is awakening again," he said.
"Events commemorating the Armenian Genocide victims will be held
across Germany this year," the director said.
He added that a concert by a renowned Armenian opera singer will
conclude the commemorations.
The German director said he doesn't think that the society is now
aware of the tragedy, adding that proper work needs to be done to
fill that information gap.
"An informed society and its position are the most important, because
in democratic societies it is the public dictating its opinion to the
political elite," Christian Papke said as he presented his country's
position on the Armenian Genocide.
Papke is the author of an Armenian Genocide film shot within the
framework of the "Talking about Borders" project. The documentary
"Armenia: Long Road of Shadows" will premiere in Germany on April 22,
and will be screened in Austria on April 23.
