Sayat Nova

First, there was the date — Easter. A theme to build on.

Second, my good friend Arora, who has feelings about Easter that are complicated, interesting, and a source for expression.

Third, a wonderful suggestion to play “The Color of Pomegranates”. A film made in 1969 in Soviet Armenia, it’s both avant-garde and spiritual.

Fourth, the ngoni I found on FB marketplace two years ago and picked up at a shopping center parking lot.

Fifth, set decoration by Ciara Kelly.
