The young Armenian Armine "Amoush" Aleksanyan studied acting and directing in Yerevan when the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh escalated in 2020. The day before, her brother had called – now he was at war. For 44 days, the family heard nothing from him. During this time, Armine began to write letters to him that she never sent. After the ceasefire, she left Armenia and came to Germany as an au-pair. She continued to write the letters – now to herself and to the deceased filmmaker Sergei Parajanov. PARAJANOV raises the question of an identity beyond national borders and place of birth. The highly emotional piece combines dance, acting, music, video, and live visuals. Directed by theater and film director Peter Wallgram, Armine Aleksanyan makes her German-speaking stage debut – and SIEGERSBUSCH FILM is producing a theater production for the first time.
