The Armenian Assembly of America partnered with the Jewish Community
Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Boston to support "Out of
Darkness," a performance dance exploring the tragic events of 1915.
The Assembly and JCRC co-hosted a reception for the March 22nd
performance, which featured the world-renowned Liz Lerman Dance
Exchange and Sayat Nova Dance Company, the internationally-known
Armenian troupe.
The "Out of Darkness" explores mass violence in contemporary times and
provides a healing reflection on the scope of human compassion. Leaders
from the Armenian and Jewish communities, including Israeli Consular
General to New England Nadav Tamir, attended the pre-reception and
the performance.
