Yeté(2013)
Berberian is a master of finding the comedy in personal, social, and cultural topicsâ in this case, he finds the humor in anxiety.
Yete is Berberianâs fifth monologue after Yevayln, Nayev, Dagaveen, and Sagayn. Following 20 sold out shows in Los Angeles, his Sagayn tour took him to Yerevan, Beirut, Istanbul, Paris, Sydney, Cyprus, Geneva and a dozen other cities.
Four years have passed since Sagayn and Berberian is thrilled about his new monologue. âI love writing, painting and directing, but being alone on that stage is a completely different sensation. I feel empowered, because thereâs nothing more difficult than getting up on a stage and trying to make people laugh for an hour and a half. If you fail, you canât blame anyone else for your failure and youâll be crushed, but if you succeed, you feel exhilarated,â says Berberian.
