SAR by dancer and choreographer Mihran Tomasyan and musician Saro Usta, which was first staged by the Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası in 2015, was performed again a few weeks ago. We believe that the performance itself and the Q&A session afterwards speaks a great deal about the experience of being an Armenian from Turkey and we would like to share the discussion we, three of the Parrhesia members, had with Agos readers.

Bourj Hamoud, for example, is located on the outskirts of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and simultaneously it is considered an important center of the diaspora for Armenian diaspora communities. It still has an agency that stubbornly continues to reproduce Armenianness, even though with different paces every now and then, and creates a reality that is different from its surroundings.
