“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.
