“The Song of a Refugee” is a musical genre among Armenian national songs. It is not only about geographical migration, but also about loss and longing for the homeland.This is one of the most honest genres because the pain is so strong that it cannot be falsified. The alienation, by force and not by choice, is transpired into the song.
We are inspired by national music where the motives of “emigration” are part of everyday life. Longing used to be a process in which people found hope. Now, alienation is the loss of hope that urges the vagrant to search for a new land and new aspirations.
The performance is a combination of music and dance.
This performance was inspired by Heriqnaz Galstyan’s sculptural art work: “Horovel”.
