Levon Shant - The Princess of the Fallen Castle. Regent Oshin
Levon Shant’s "Cilician dramas," notably "The Princess of the Fallen Castle" (1921) and "Regent Oshin" (1929), are profound literary works crafted in the wake of the First Republic of Armenia's collapse. These dramas, steeped in the Shakespearean tradition, not only explore the deep-seated tragedies and emotional turmoil of their characters but also delve into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of their time. In these works, Shant meticulously examines the cause-and-effect dynamics that led to the fall of the First Republic of Armenia. Through his philosophical lens, Shant highlights a critical exploration of human relationships with the passage of time—emphasizing the often-powerless stance of individuals against the relentless flow of historical events. The narratives poignantly underscore the drama of destiny, where personal and collective fates are intertwined with the inexorable march of time. With a sharp focus on the philosophical, Shant’s dramas offer a piercing look at the struggles of his characters as they navigate their existential realities, making these plays not only a reflection on the history of Armenia but also a timeless contemplation of the human condition.
