Theatre - Behind The Mountain

Created against the backdrop of the devastating consequences of the 2020 Artsakh War, this drama centers on the love story of two teenagers. Their personal grief becomes the painful lens through which the fate of a people who have forever lost their mountains is revealed. The action takes place five to six months after the 44 day war, unfolding through parallel narratives that portray different generations inseparably bound to their land. An 85 year old grandfather who longs to return to his home lost somewhere among the mountains. A freedom fighter disabled in the First Artsakh War who cannot imagine his life outside of Artsakh. A man who is trying to rebuild his house and stolen identity from scratch, both of which he lost in Hadrut. A hopeful young woman who waits for her fiancé, missing in action since the war. At the intersection of personal loss and national tragedy, this play celebrates the unbreakable spirit of a people for whom the homeland is not merely a territory, but an inseparable, living part of their very being.
