“DRUG WEDDING”
One-Act Musical-Dance-Song
A Tale in Three Scenes
based on the drama by P.Yu. Todorov
“Dragon Wedding” (1910)
With great trepidation and genuine enthusiasm, we invite you to the Premiere in Sofia of the Folklore Spectacle “DRUG WEDDING” - One-Act Musical-Dance-Song Tale in Three Scenes based on the drama of the same name by P.Yu. Todorov.
Experience the emotion, richness and beauty of folk beliefs and traditional rituals combined with the artistic expressiveness of the talented dancers and singers of the PFA “Shevitsa” and the fairy tale of the tragic plot. A story about impossible love, about the pursuit of freedom and about breaking away from the norm of society at the cost of the disembodied and poetic folklore illusion. An honest, touching and moving story in which everyone will recognize themselves.
And the story becomes even closer to us when we explain that the basis of the plot of “Zmeyova svatba” is the relationship between Peyo Yavorov and Mina Todorova - the author's sister, prototypes of the main characters Zmeya and Cena. There is no Bulgarian untouched by their tragic fate...
The performance is dedicated to the 111th anniversary of the poet's death.
