Planned Outage

dir. Nadezhda Israelyan

A documentary performance built on stories uncovered through interviews and meditative memory practices. Three actresses recount recognizable episodes of a shared post-Soviet childhood — unacknowledged poverty, the hard conditions their parents lived in, traumas inherited from the past — against the backdrop of Armenia's crumbling infrastructure. What do we remember of childhood, and how does the past shape the present? Performed June 18, 24 and 29, 2023.
