Dagaveen

Description

Vahe’s third hysterically funny and engaging monologue tackles diverse topics such as family, marriage, surveys, concentrating on the Armenian American identity and finally the importance of laughter. Along with personal stories and meditations on the Armenian condition, Vahe tries to find an answer to the question “Are the Armenians truly happy, or – as an Irish newspaper claims – are we the saddest nation on the planet?” Vahe performed Dagaveen for over four months at Rococo in Pasadena, California, and has taken the show on the road to various cities in the U.S., Canada and Europe to packed audiences. “This the first time we have produced DVDs along with the videos, and they include a 10 minute interview with Berberian, where he candidly speaks about his art. We produced the video for two reasons, for those who missed the performances and for individuals who couldn’t get enough,” says the producer Betty Berberian. The live performance was recorded in May, 2004.
