↓ The Armenian Theatre in France from 1930 to 1948 ↓


The Armenian Theater of France has been very rich in representations,
with talented artists, over three periods from 1930 to 1948.
Around 1939 a first troupe named "Nor Bem" (New Stage)
was created under the aegis of the Armenian Relief Committee (ARC)
and the direction of Asho Shahkhatuny.
During the Second World War, another theater troupe
was formed on the initiative and under the direction of Khoren Papazian.
After the liberation, a new troupe was created under
the direction of Mrs. Anna Budakhian, Asho Shahkhatuny and
Trdat Nshanian within the National Front association formed from
the union of several parties and associations, which lasted three years.
Among the artists, we can cite among the most known
Mr Misha and Mrs Knar Aznavourian, and their daughter Mrs Aïda Aznavour
Charles' parents and sister.
Misha Aznavourian who was a tar player, (see the different pages
about this instrument in the summary of the website,)
was also the musical director of the troupe.
