The Armenian artist and singer Ashot Ghazaryan is also known as a wonderful comedian. He played in the drama theater in Yerevan, and was not only the soloist of the Nairi ensemble, but also led it as an artistic director.
Ashot Surenovich in 2006 created the school "Speech, Laughter, Humor". Then the performer also became an Honorary Citizen of Yerevan.
Vocation Search
The biography of the future artist began in 1949. The boy was born in Yerevan on May 15 in the family of a school principal and teacher. In addition to Ashot, the parents raised two more sons and a daughter. The brothers became physicists, a sister is engaged in serious science.
And the future celebrity was not inspired by such a future. From an early age, the child showed remarkable artistic abilities. Everyone in the family was engaged in creativity. My father played wonderful kamancha. In the choir of the Mother See of Etchmiadzin, my mother sang. However, parents decided to give their children a serious and thorough education.
At school, the student led all creative evenings, was the ringleader in KVN. A brilliant artistic career was predicted by everyone around him. Immediately after school, for a year, the young man played on the stage of the capital's Drama Theater. In 1968, the son did not dare to upset parents with the choice of the Yerevan Art and Theater Institute. Even becoming his student, he said at home that he entered an agricultural university. The fraud quickly revealed, but still the parents recognized the choice of the son. Ashot justified their hopes, completing his education with honors in 1973.
The graduate was accepted into the troupe of the Armenian State Academic Theater named after Sundukyan. He entered it until 1974. And in 1976 Ghazaryan became the soloist of the pop group "Merry Hour" and the entertainer of the ensemble "Urartu". He later joined the group as a soloist, and a year later became known as the director of the Armconcert, as the art director of the Just Laugh group and the Nairi ensemble, and as one of its leading performers.
Success
The recognition of the audience, the young artist won quickly. He was distinguished by amazing benevolence, sincerity and complete dedication. The audience did not disperse even when the lights and heating were turned off. Often concerts were held by candlelight and a malfunctioning microphone. The artist was very warmly received not only by the capital of Armenia, but also by the province of the republic. Despite the difficult times of the nineties, there were always crowded village clubs where meetings were held with Kazarian.
Sometimes, contrary to the established schedule of concerts, I had to come to neighboring villages to fulfill the requests of their residents for a performance. Particularly successful was the audience’s review of his Golden Autumn. At the same time, the actor is sure that he should not bother with his presence on the screen for 24 hours. The public should rest from an idol: it is useful to both parties. That is why Ghazaryan does not accept invitations to participate from well-known modern television programs.
The film debut took place in 1969. Ashot Surenovich played in the film "Coast of Youth", the story of Garegin and his friends, the first to begin oilfields in the country. Then there was work in the film "The Blue Lion" and the scoring of "Brave Nazar".
In the film "Sister from Los Angeles" Armen became the hero of Ghazaryan. The picture shows the amazing adventures of the leaders of two mafia groups with abductions, pursuits, substitution of heroes and changing clothes. And ahead - and a reassessment of priorities, and a bright feeling, and even a romantic denouement.
New plans
In the video project "Our Yard" the artist took part since 1996 for a decade in the image of Ashot. He starred in all parts of the film. The picture shows the ordinary life of the inhabitants of the Yerevan courtyard, street showdowns and petty intrigues, unique kindness and love stories.
Everyone has already tired of the house-claiming claims, and a gossip-neighbor who is close to her ears doesn’t miss her hearing, she loves a boring eccentric for a long time, there is still an unfortunate artist and official with a good soul. Each character is very colorful.
Between all the characters developed a difficult relationship. Often they simply spark with tension, but at the first danger of the appearance and introduction of strangers who claim to be the owners of the courtyard, the neighbors forget about disagreements and together defend each other, preserving both the traditions and the very spirit of the native court.
In 2016, the artist’s new work “Three weeks in Yerevan” was released. In the comedy, he played the role of the chief of police. In the story, two friends, Armen and Raffi, come to make a film from Los Angeles. However, many surprises await them in Yerevan. We’ll have to look not only for the shooting area, but also for the actors and the means. A brilliant idea is in jeopardy. Unexpected meetings, sudden revelations and simply insane incidents cast doubt on the very existence of the project.
In 2019, in the film "Honest Thieves" Ashot Surenovich appeared in the image of Vazgen.
