Dear Editors & Supporters,
CENTENNIAL OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS OBSERVED
WITH
CTG AND ARMENIAN DRAMATIC ARTISTS ALLIANCE'S SPECIAL READING
`STAGING THE UNSTAGEABLE: THE ESTHETICS OF DRAMATIZING ATROCITY'
TUESDAY, APRIL 28 AT 8 P.M.
In observance of the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, Center
Theatre Group, in partnership with the Armenian Dramatic Artists
Alliance (ADAA), will present `Staging the Unstageable: The Esthetics
of Dramatizing Atrocity' at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, Tuesday, April
28 at 8 p.m.
`Staging the Unstageable' is a reading of excerpts from plays that
dramatize in different ways the Armenian Genocide, which was the
systematic extermination (beginning in April 1915) by the Ottoman
Empire of its minority Armenian subjects.
The performance will be followed by a panel discussion with
notable guests from the Armenian community and with Los Angeles
theatre artists who have grappled with the responsibilities of
bringing historical tragedies to the stage. Key to the discussion are
the questions - does theatre have a role in ensuring that communities
around the world never forget historical sins, and how can a
theatre-maker bring such trauma to the stage?
