“Titanic-2,” renamed “Noah’s Ark,” tries to save the remnants of humanity. Passengers and crew board another ark. The passengers of the ship are the audience, and the crew consists of the Captain, his assistant Admiral Sako, the Poet, who was taken directly before the flight and they can’t decide what he will do during the voyage, whether he will be a radio operator or the first Armenian astronaut. Two other crew members, Maestro and Handsome, also perform various duties depending on the situation. And many problems arise on the ship because the ark is actually our home, which everyone wants to “improve.” And when as a result of those “home-building transformations” the ark begins to sink, it turns out that it is not so easy to leave it and save, the ship is under siege. At the end of the play, the “rain that lasted 40 days and nights” finally stops, and hope for salvation is born, especially when one of the film crew notices Mount Ararat in the distance. However, the other crew members explain to him that the contours of Ararat have always been visible. In other words, nothing has changed, the ark has not moved… The play intertwines music and humor.

Cello Sonata

Premiere15.10.2004
Age16+

Actors:
Arshaluys Harutyunyan
Catherine Manasyan

In addition to interesting and attractive material, this drama also carries a second message: the play is dedicated to the immortal memory of the great artist Sergei Parajanov.
In the play “Cello Sonata,” the Woman and the Man are denoted by faces. There is also the Artist, who, however, is no longer alive and whom these two destroyed with their hatred and envy. The Artist is always an accident, isn’t it? A misfortune for those around, and first of all for yourselves.
All actions in the play are based on the tense dialogue of the two characters. They try to answer: “Doesn’t art bring relief?” Is art necessary, since it makes people unhappy? Why do evil people hate the creator so much?”
The material of the play has touched all humanity throughout its history. It touches on both universal human problems and the conflict and intolerance of bright personalities and creators with false values and distorted moral norms and rules of coexistence, entrenched in society and mediocrity, necessarily with emotions and manifestations inherent in genius.

Gentlemen!

Premiere24.03.2012
Age16+

Actors: 
Rafayel Eranosyan
Ani Lupe
Senik Barseghyan

A “time machine” was created by stage convention, easily performing miracles. And here we are in Ancient Egypt, beside the pharaohs. The audience sitting in the hall, somehow surviving a nuclear catastrophe, is offered to board spacecraft. However, an Egyptian appears and loudly announces that boarding is delayed for 2 hours, and three uninvited guests are given the opportunity to talk about themselves, about the universal, about evil and good, right and wrong, whose eternal struggle moves life forward.
A unique dialogue with the audience begins, dedicated to one of the most important problems of modern times: the responsibility of the generation for the fate of the planet, for the nervous, often terrifying mosaic life of today’s world. This is the confession of the arrogant, stubborn, cynical, impudent, and reckless children of the 21st century.
A huge amount of information, a large number of witty expressions, unexpected content transitions make the audience engage in the action on stage from the first exclamation, enticing them with an unusual form of dialogue (through the auditorium), emphasized rhythm, aided not only by lighting, musical, and plastic means, but also by the text itself throughout is kept in a strict rhythm, reminiscent of a poem in prose.
A political pamphlet, a show on international themes, a satirical panorama, problems of spiritual poverty in the modern world, devaluation of feelings such as love, kindness, justice, morals.
This play is notable for its semantic significance, anti-war, and peace message.
The play “Gentlemen…” is about the youth searching for answers to many contemporary questions. Filled with humor and music, this play engages in an honest conversation with the audience, dissuading them from indifference, spiritual poverty, emotional depreciation, and passivity, otherwise, disaster is inevitable.
