Ivan Vazov National Theatre - The Merchant of VeniceLocation: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE Interested participants
Location: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE Interested participants
Address: 5 DYAKON IGNATIY STR., SOFIA 1000 | Event Map | Venue Accessibility Language: Bulgarian with English subtitles In this rendition of The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, performed in Bulgarian with English translation by Alexander Shurbanov, we explore the hidden factors that contribute to conflicts supposedly rooted in cultural, ethnic, religious and gender differences. Special attention is given to the linguistic disparities that emerge in our interconnected world. In the initial iteration of the project, tentatively titled ‘Sephardic’, certain characters express themselves in their native languages during particular scenes. This serves the purpose of concealing their conversations from others, remaining true to their roots and challenging the prevailing language of their host country. Thus, speaking in places in Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), in Arabic and in Aragonese, the characters of the play often willingly become incomprehensible to the other characters, but also to the audience, to whom the meaning of what is spoken must be communicated through subtitles to compensate for the linguistically produced effect of alienation, which aims to confront us with an encounter with the ‘others’ in their personal life-world and their own small linguistic environments amid global Babylon. Duration: 1h40m Credits: Director: Javor Gardev The production includes texts by Gaius Valerius Catullus, Guido Cavalcanti, Pierre de Ronsard, Edmund Spenser, and Heinrich Heine, as well as excerpts from the French translation of the play by François Pierre Guillaume Guizot, the German translation, by August Wilhelm von Schlegel, and the Italian, by Carlo Rusconi.

Ivan Vazov National Theatre - IN THE DARKLocation: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE Interested participants
Location: Ivan Vazov NATIONAL THEATRE Interested participants
Address: 5 DYAKON IGNATIY STR., SOFIA 1000 | Event Map | Venue Accessibility ‘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. Duration: 1h30m Credits: Director: Albena Stavreva Get in touchStatus: Available for local versions and ready for touring How to book?Tickets are available for purchase through the National theatre ticketing platform.

Emergency Theatre - The Room of Pleasure is EmptyLocation: Hall 2, Toplocentrala Interested participants
Location: Hall 2, Toplocentrala Interested participants
Address: ul. "Emil Berzinski" 5, 1408 Yuzhen, Sofia | Event Map | Venue Accessibility The Room of Pleasure is Empty is based on the team’s documented life experiences and original texts. The performance is the result of a two-year laboratory process exploring the human inner stage in relation to the Uncanny. The capital of the unconscious becomes the object of dramatic exploration, reinterpretation, enactment. We invite the darkest side of the soul onto the stage. We manifest those encapsulated and rejected desires that seek their way to appear in reality through distorted manipulative fetishized actions. There, body abuse, guilt and self-abasement lead to the unattainable end of the human unconscious projected into the space of the Empty Room. Duration: 1h45m Credits: Featuring: Juliana Saiska, Yana Moroz, Elica Alexieva, Elena Dimitrova, Velislav Pavlov, Nino Gomes How to book?Tickets are available for purchase through URBO APP via the link below.
