Daybreak, a lyrical story of two Armenian women friends, survivors from 1915, who are transported with their families into the 21st century future.
Daybreak is a powerful new play that highlights the Armenian-American voice. Set in three time periods, the play is inspired by the true stories of two women friends, Victoria and Varter, survivors driven from their homeland, and using memory, dreams, and music, carries the story of these women through three generations to celebrate love, beauty and the endurance of the human spirit.
Throughout the play, dreams overtake the “reality” of the action, showing that the impact of genocide does not just break human bonds, it ruptures time and space.
