Love confession

Age16+

In the world, there are cities larger and more powerful, but none have been described as remarkably in the immortal Bible. A city to which the birth certificate was issued even before the Birth of Christ.
Let’s uncover the mystery of our amazing city together. It’s cheerful, naive, a bit impatient, sometimes too quick-tempered, but always kind and sensitive. Here, laughter and tears are inseparable, like those of a child.
“Love confession” is a warm, sometimes a little sad, and very emotional story about Yerevan and its residents. It’s the tale of our beloved capital, enhanced with lyrical humor by Yernjakyan, as well as old and new beloved songs dedicated to Yerevan.

Hamlet

“Hamlet” – Shakespeare’s poetry seasoned with Ernjakyan’s dramaturgy. A play written about 400 years ago, yet it still retains its sharp relevance. It delves into issues that are relevant today and will continue to be relevant until the end of human history. Selfishness and opportunism are the greatest tragedies of all time. Following Ara Ernjakyan’s characteristic principles of authorial theater, with intriguing staging, lighting, and sound decisions, a new dimension and life were breathed into a story seen and read tens of thousands of times. This is the classic “Fathers and Sons” conflict, where one, risking their own life, expands the country’s borders, while the other, out of foolishness, surrenders it to a sworn enemy.

The Yerevan Chamber Theater’s play “Armmageddon” by Ara Yernjakyan is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The action of the play unfolds in a theater where during the play “Othello,” the audience suddenly learns that a celestial body named Armageddon is approaching our planet.
“Forgetting” Shakespeare, a group of “viewers” tries to find a way out of the situation.
The prevailing panic gradually turns into an analysis of the reasons that could lead to the catastrophe.
And all this is presented with the greatest humor in the best traditions of the Chamber. The audience laughs and enjoys, but the finale of the play is unexpectedly tragic. It will make you sober up and think about who we are and where we are going…
