When My Sorrow Died: The Legend of Armen Ra & the Theremin @ SLIFF
The Stage at KDHX
St. Louis, MO
Share this event:


Considered one of the world's pre-eminent thereminists, Armen Ra debuted with Antony and the Johnsons in 2001 and has since collaborated with Marc Almond, opened for Nick Cave, and performed worldwide. "When My Sorrow Died" relates the moving story of the musician's extraordinary origins. Armen tells his life story -- whose unlikely particulars are painfully true -- with a sharp wit and a deep sincerity. After surviving exile from Iran and systematic bullying in his youth, Armen first captures the attention of the 1980s New York underground with his stunning drag performances. But the scene also proves dangerous, and Armen's life is threatened by drug addiction and alcoholism until the theremin eventually rescues him. The first electronic instrument ever invented, the theremin is operated without touch, and Armen manages to pull himself from a fatal downward spiral by magically coaxing ethereal music out of thin air. A mix of rare concert performances, candid interviews, and archival material, "When My Sorrow Died" celebrates Armen and his music, which alchemizes ancient sorrow into timeless beauty.
