Vardan Petrosyan's VERelQ

I finally got tickets to see Vardan Petrosyan's latest show called VERelQ. Tickets have almost always been sold out, but he's been constantly adding more shows.

Great performance, based on the Genocide, the life of Komitas, quite a bit of anti-rabiz criticism, singing, dancing, laughing, crying, getting depressed, people bawling ... the Komitas parts were quite intense.

If you are in town, try to check it out. If you don't understand Eastern Armenian it might be a little difficult to understand, 'cause he talks quite fast. Anyway, it's at the Russian Drama Theatre across from Moscow Cinema and Yerevan Hotel.

I saw Petrosyan's last two shows "Kraki Mej" & "Khagumenk 1700" when I was in Yerevan a couple of years ago and both were fantastically entertaining. He has an uncanny ability to combine humour and tragedy like no other Armenian performer of his generation.I just wish I was there now to see VERelQ :-(
