Genesis of Victory

Documentary performance based on the actors' memoirs

 

"Genesis of Victory"

 

By Sara Nalbandyan

 

The stories of the three heroes of the performance “Genesis of Victory" unfold in the 1990s, in three different places: one of the hottest war spots in Artsakh, a border village and dark and cold Yerevan, forming three intertwining storylines. Children who are physically far from each other seem to enter into a dialogue, react to each other, share their worries and joys. Each of their stories is a record of a small victory, a victory over the enemy, over harsh conditions, and over one's own fears. Those pure and naive children's heroics seem to have become a part of the nation's genetic code, recording the birth of the winner's psychology in it.
