SAN GABRIEL, AUGUST 8, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. A new musical
play in Armenian based on Hovhannes Toumanian’s comic fairy tale
"Kach Nazar" will debut on Sunday, August 24, 2008 at the historic San
Gabriel Mission Playhouse (CA). Playwright Ani Minasian incorporates
Armenian cultural elements (dances, songs, idioms) and folk rituals
and traditions to retell the story about a cowardly peasant who,
through a series of misunderstandings and misrepresentations, becomes
a revered hero and legend in his own time.
