SHAKE THE EARTH
Performance by Lousine Shamamian, Armenian-American Comedian
Saturday, September 17, 2016
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Doors open at 3:30pm)
Student Union Theater
This event is part of the Armenian Harvest Festival--a larger day of events celebrating Armenian culture and life. Please RSVP for Shake the Earth and other activities at http://s.uconn.edu/37r.
Shake the Earth is a one-person show brilliantly fuses humor, biography and tragedy in a story of a daughter coming out to her Armenian mother. Bolstered by kufta and string cheese, Lousine yearns to bring the injustice inflicted on her ancestors to light. Can this meek gay Armenian stand up for herself and recount her great-grandfather Georgi’s remarkable story of survival during the Armenian Genocide? View the trailer
This event is sponsored by UConn's Norian Armenian Programs, Global Affairs and the School of Social Work.
