ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TO BE MARKED WITH SPECIAL READING AT THE DOUGLAS
Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
Center Theatre Group, in partnership with the Armenian Dramatic Artists
Alliance, will present 'Staging the Unstageable: The Esthetics of
Dramatizing Atrocity' at the Kirk Douglas Theatre
LOS ANGELES--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?
Tickets for "Staging the Unstageable" are priced at $10, and can be
purchased beginning February 18 online at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org
or by calling (213) 628-2772. The Kirk Douglas Theatre is located at
9820 Washington Blvd. in Culver City, 90232.
The presentation of "Staging the Unstageable" is part of the Douglas
Plus programming at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Douglas Plus provides
the flexibility to explore new work and push boundaries through fully
and minimally staged events, workshops and readings and traditional
and non-traditional performance configurations.
