The 30th Other Minds Festival Night 1 presents Joseph Bohigian’s I Am He Whose Life and Soul Are Torment, an evening-length multimedia work about the life of the visionary Soviet-Armenian film director Sergei Parajanov (1924–1990) that combines the multilingual songs of the 18th century bard Sayat Nova in Armenian, Azeri, and Georgian with live electronic manipulation of recordings by South Caucasus folk musicians. A collaboration with vocalist and duduk player Khatchadour Khatchadourian, Ensemble Decipher, and artists Tara Baghdassarian and Karo Yagjian, the piece is written for solo voice, duduk, electronics ensemble, and video projection.

This is a very inclusive list of over 400 sources and venues across the bay area and Santa Cruz County, and all their events.
