Power & Sovereign are not in the Same Suitcase

Performance with the half-face masks of the three presidents of the Republic of Armenia and the current Prime Minister and two suitcases: the "Power" and “Sovereignty”.
The reason for the first version of this performance in 2019 was the expression of the second president of RA after the Velvet Revolution of 2018, that "Power is not a suitcase to be taken and handed over".

The power of the three presidents of the Republic of Armenia began with a suitcase handed over to them, which they passed on to one another. Eventually, their period of government ended up with that suitcase and the suitcase remained not transferred.
In 2018 the non-violent, velvet revolution overthrew the power of a transferred suitcase bringing forth a self-made suitcase of sovereignty, assembled from separate pieces, often worn, but a living witness of biography, in which were stored the tools of struggle, love, survival and rebirth.
