Gilgamesh

No, I am not going to talk about the most ancient epic. Yesterday I attended with some folks a musical work composed by Kinan Al-Azmeh, the renown clarinet player, in association with interactive live drawing by Kivork Murad, an Armenian artist skilled in interactive painting.
The setting was new and weird. The new piece of music was mostly sad and ancient, sometimes with awkward background music playing on the computer. According to the introduction it should have represented what king Gilgamesh feelings or thoughts were when looking at his beloved city after 5000 years.
The drawing was on either black or white background using white or black paint respectively. It was a mixture of pre-made drawings and live drawing. The first being projected from a computer, and the second projected live from a camera facing the drawing platform. The projection was on a huge white screen placed on the old wall of Damascus which faces the interior of the Armenian Orthodox Headquarter.

At the same time, at this time of war, other "light concerts" such as George Wassouf, Nancy Ajram, Ragheb Alameh and others have been cancelled as people would not attend and some were automatically cancelled.
