Ivan Vazov National Theatre - IN THE DARK

Location: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE

Location: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE

Address5 DYAKON IGNATIY STR., SOFIA 1000Event MapVenue Accessibility
Language: Bulgarian with English subtitles

‘You think I’m tellin’ you ‘bout things I’ve seen, but no. All of these are just miracles, this is all just ignorance and if we could see ‘em, they’d transform into visions.’

With a jar of jam and an old suitcase Gichka the Cuckoo, the adopted daughter of the village priest, is alone in the belfry of the church. Her stories are unbelievably funny and offer a passage to a small village and its absurd, but lost world. Her stories are also sad as the trusting nature of a child is incapable of seeing through the veil of evil, even if it is staring it in the face. This is a tale of loneliness for those who are different, of frantic living on the margins of sanity and unconditional love. A life filled with memories and wonder. All of them were kept in a tiny tinder box.

Derida Stage - WIRED by Deyan Georgiev

Location: Derida Stage

Address32 Tsar Samuil St. (Intersection of Bistritsa St. with Tsar Samuil St.)Event MapVenue Accessibility 
Language: English

The performance WIRED was part of Top 20 for 2023 of the European platform AEROWAVES. WIRED is a solo performance, an individual experience and experience, sunk into the threads of what we call ‘We’. A physical body enclosed in a black box full of stored information. An attempt to find the original source responsible for our personal entanglement. Is life an endless question and can we find peace in our ignorance? Can we surrender to something greater than our own sense of being? The play is inspired by documentary stories and science fiction.
