A play for every taste and every age. A well-chilled French champagne that showers us with its unceremonious disregard for the conventions and political correctness of today's world.

Life in Zen: The Poetry of Zahari Zahariev
We will talk about the poetry of Zahari Zahariev, who left us unjustly early, with Ivan Dimitrov and Svetoslav Todorov.
In addition to being like-minded people at the Kota 0 Publishing House, they were also friends in poetry and life.
Moderator: Alexander Sekulov
This is a revealing and unearthly collection of poems. It first reaches the intoxicating flow of the living and the dead through the erotic absorption of nature into our own body and through the masterful transformation of language into senses. From this Zen flow, new and familiar beings are born, new and outdated words, a new and familiar game. Zahari Zahariev knows how to divert language, forces it to bump into itself, lets it flow downward, sideways, inward or upward into the organs of all that exists. And then, in communication, desire and joy, an ecstatic parable is formed: the book passes from the multiplicity of arche through the striving-fusion in eros to the gushing unity of the heart-mind.
Throughout the entire poetic time, we - like light and involuntary gods - love, drink and sing together and under the guidance of some other we: amorphous, turbulent and poetic. At the same time, we learn to be multifaceted characters - to perceive, absorb, process, separate and create, and our language is already an animal universe. Yes, it is not clear where the line between author, book and reader is drawn; and what is actually constantly being reborn.

The Neighbors Upstairs
Lilia Maravilla, Silvia Petkova, Emil Markov and Ivan Burnev enter into a stormy relationship "neighborly" in the new comedy "The Neighbors Upstairs". The adaptation of the hit Spanish film by Cesc Guy will debut on the Bulgarian theater stage through the directorial eye of Emil Markov.
Ana and Julio have been together for years. However, time and routine have seemingly irreversibly separated them. They don't look at each other, they don't touch each other, and conflicts between them have become the norm.
Until they move into a new apartment... An apartment where screams and moans are constantly heard from the upper floor. Maybe out of jealousy, maybe out of envy and a longing for a more spicy life, but these sounds become the subject of constant arguments between Ana and Julio.
Without warning her husband, Ana invites the neighbors upstairs to visit so that they can get to know each other and their friend. Julio insists that they make a remark about the noise, but Ana doesn't want to bother them.
The evening turns into a comical clash between the sexual freedom of the neighbors upstairs and the "standard" way of communicating and living of Julio and Ana. The two are faced with a serious test, because the neighbors upstairs explode their world.
An emotional storm of mutual accusations erupts, in which hidden grievances and suppressed desires come to light. Tonight, the neighbors will become both inspirers and victims of an emotional tsunami, caused by an unusually bold and surprising proposal.
How to continue after such a "strong" evening - this is the question for Ana and Julio!
