This electrifying stage production pays vivid homage to the legendary cult director Sergei Parajanov. Fusing hip-hop, modern dance, and ancient Armenian customs, the performance transforms into a living canvas where electronic beats meet traditional instruments, and theater merges with cinema. Together, they resurrect the lush, dreamlike universe of the film *Sayat-Nova* (*The Colour of Pomegranates*).
