The Island of Sighs is a multi-media theater piece incorporating live and pre-animated projected visuals (Kevork Mourad), dance (choreography and dance by Fadi Khoury), and live music (singer/writer Anaïs Tekerian), to tell the story of one of the most famous characters in Armenian lore. Tamar is a refugee of love and loss who is looking for her way off her island—a metaphor for the search of any victim of disaster to find his or her way forward out of the isolation of displacement and grief.
This piece was developed at BricLab, in Brooklyn, and performed as a work-in-progress in March 2018.
