What do you carry with you into the unknown?​​

​

Three individuals listen, remember and exchange holding, space where tradition and migration merge in a unique way. Tsovinar Suflyan plays the piano. Laetitia Kohler & Ivan Yaher move. They are guided  by the works of Armenian composers Komitas, A. Khachaturian and A. Babajanian. The music resonate with rhythm and sounds that resist, adapt and transfom. Songs become stories. Traditions collide and transform.
A new language emerges. Together, they are held by rhythm, respect, and resonance.

​

The piece's music was released as a debut-album of pianist Tsovinar Suflyan.
