Woman, man, love, family, freedom – here, we will talk about these eternal questions, feel sad, and rejoice.
Classic conflict between a man and a woman…
The performance “A Man Is Required” is about a search for love. The heroes of the play are two
people who feel spiritual emptiness. There are no feelings and any affection inside them.
Beatrice desires for love. Jan has lost his hope for a real feeling long ago.
At first Jan evokes an interest in her, and then she experiences a feeling distantly reminding love.
Beatrice almost artificially tries to make herself believe that at last it is he. All her methods face to
Jan’s cold practicalness. It seems that now she will win and everything will revive both in her soul
and in her life. Jan, a little tempted by a probable change in his life, changes sharply and now
frankly tries to call in her disgust towards him, maybe he hates himself, but it is too late, nothing can
be changed.
The coming of a new guest, who has read Beatrice’s announcement about the searches of a man and
who will make her laugh, move her to pity, who will tempt her and will get an award for it, means
that the search is still continued.

…They told him that if you love someone, you don’t think about the things that hurt to think about, and you don’t feel the drought inside…
But what is love?
“If you can be intrigued, moved, and seduced, it means you’re already in love…”
He wrote an application and promised a reward…
Men came, then others, then he came…
and declared that he succeeded…
But…
A classic conflict between a man and a woman, reaching the point of absolute absurdity.
This psychological drama is a story of the search for love. Although the times of love and romance have irrevocably passed, the characters are in an endless quest.
The stirring and cheerful Beatrice, in her abandoned castle, in her invented fairy tale, plays with unexperienced feelings without despair, while the principled and extreme Jean, with his unbridled perseverance, defends his solitude and absolute freedom. Meanwhile, both are utterly clueless about real love.
Here, the collision between man and woman reaches the point of absolute absurdity, and a good ending is replaced by a cruel test to search and find again… And so it goes on as long as life continues…

Who will be the king, and will there even be one?
Years pass, but Nazar remains the same. A ruler who ascended to the throne by a whim of fate is nothing but an ignorant fraudster, constantly followed by his likes…
The play discusses the idea of human eternity, which is always accompanied by incomplete logic.
By breaking the created illusion, you become a witness to a reality that is fake, shiny on the outside but hiding numerous inconsistencies within.
“To arms! There is so much impulse and power in this short phrase. Few languages possess the expressiveness found in these two Armenian words. It’s a mad heroic march that rallies armies, directs them, compels them to storm, and leads to a certain victory. It’s a call, obeying the sacred meaning of which, intoxicated by Armenian fury, armies moved towards the borders of Armenia without fearing to face death.
The heroes of this story are people who have dreamed of peace since time immemorial. They seek ways to work, live, and create. Unfortunately, the leaders of great nations shout and make decisions that are unacceptable and incomprehensible to this people.”
When Nero was born, his father exclaimed, “I don’t think anything produced by me and Agrippina could possibly be good for the state or the people.” This is the story of Seneca, Nero’s teacher, who dreamt of raising a teenager who would respect the Senate and the ancient laws of Rome. He hoped that Nero would grow into a kind-hearted leader and leave behind the cruel times of former Caesars. “Once you’ve tasted what it’s like to be a god, you’ll never stop.”
The play retains its relevance to this day and will endure forever because human nature never changes; it perpetually seeks ultimate power.
What’s the national ideology of Armenian people? What are the main goals? In which way should we take the path and what are the main obstacles in that road?
“The Birth Certificate” – the history of the origin and formation of the Armenian people, where answers to the most pressing questions of our birth certificate are heard: “When, where, and how did the Armenian people come into existence?”
