Another play by the German-language author Stefan Vogel is a new surprise in the direction of the comic! He is known for his witty plots, precise contemporary themes, constant rich types from our everyday life! He simply writes about us, about our time, about our Self! About our present day! The plot of the play is a vicissitudes of falling in love, running away, divorces, reunions, accusations, misunderstandings and most importantly, a constant desire and striving to touch the other. A constant clash of the feminine and masculine! And, this clash is the source of life! This is our living-search for the other! But this search is always refracted through the comic. A tangled story about divorce, alimony, money, women, men, lovers, children, the chemistry of feelings, the mathematics of infidelity, intrigues, and finally Love! This is a spectacle about how a person wastes his time on meaningless things, and how lonely he is in his modern life. There is no love without meaning! And all this wrapped in a huge dose of irony, laughter and feelings! Come, you will not regret it! This will be another hit of the Sliven theater!
CINDERELLA

There are countless fairy tales in which magic was crucial to the outcome of the story told in them. But is magic the only thing needed for a happy ending in them?
The story of Cinderella, known to us for centuries in different versions and interpretations and told by us, is a look at the predestination of two human destinies met at the beginning by a little fairy - somewhere in a dream, a daydream, in the pure world of human longing for beauty and for meeting a soulmate.
Our story is about the strength of spirit of a girl - Cinderella, about a prince who has just come of age, about a king and his minister - caring for the now grown heir to the throne with food and advice, about two sisters and their mother - obsessed with the idea of power and money.
Do we need more magic today, or aren't the kindness of the heart and pure thoughts the very magic of today? Aren't they what make the magic of our hectic everyday life in our increasingly arrogant and inhuman world?
And let the magic take over us now….
ONE THOUSAND AND TWO

ANTON RADICHEV /guest/, Vyara Nacheva, Gabriel Petkov, Yordan Kumanov, Mario Topalov

An executioner and a condemned man almost swap roles because of an unknown mistake or because of a demonstration of power in how it can treat people. However, the people are at war and men are missing. Everyone wants their own - food, money and help to survive, and the only free man - a stranger soaked in moonlight cannot be sacrificed in the name of the people; because then he will become an icon. How will this farce end? Will the people believe that the eccentric is innocent? You will have to see.
THE LONESOME WEST
80 minutes
by Martin McDonough
Not recommended for persons under 14 years of age
Translation: Ventseslav Asenov
Production: Ventseslav Asenov
Scenography: Theodore Kiryakov
Music: Pavel Vasev
Stage plastic: Emil Videv
Actors involved: Lyubomir Neykov, Dimitar Markov, Ivaylo Gandev and Natalia Georgieva.
Twenty-five years before the Oscars for "The Banshees of Inisherin" was "The Lonely West" - the last part of the Connemara trilogy, which shocked the world with its bold frankness. For the first time on the Sliven stage, the darkest, but also the funniest of all Martin McDonagh's plays, which still does not leave the world's stages today.
Author Martin McDonagh weaves together insanely absurd characters with vulgarly witty dialogue, and the painful loneliness between them confronts us with difficult moral questions.
Is there a chance for the world to survive when a person has driven God out of their heart? Vice has never been so entertaining and provocatively funny, especially when the irresistible LYUBOMIR NEIKOV is on stage!
THE LITTLE MUK

Every fairy tale is a guardian of those values that make us who we are today. In the rush of everyday life, we miss the smile, the gesture, the word that make us human.
"In just a few moments, and behold - bad thoughts invade a person" and can cause irreparable damage and misfortune - not only to those around them, but also to us.
The story, told by Wilhelm Hauff 200 years ago, about little Muck, who, thanks to his naivety, kindness, and insight into the world, manages to escape the troubles and misfortunes that befall him, is also reflected in our interpretation of "Little Muck".
How strong is a curse? How durable is a friendship? How strong is a mother's love? And Love?
Is it possible for sleep to heal?
...
And because - Fairy tales are not just idle tales!

Lazaritza
85 minutes
by Yordan Radichkov
Director: Dimitar Markov
Scenography: Dimitar Markov
Solo performance by Dimitar Markov
"Lazaritsa" - a modern reading of the play written in 1979 about the great Grigor Vachkov is offered by the Sliven Theater. Radichkov's iconic play about Lazar, who ages by ten years every season on the rickety pear tree with a magpie's nest and an eagle emblem on the trunk, has been staged many times in various theaters in Bulgaria. Radichkov wrote a one-man show about an artist and an imaginary dog, enraged by human betrayal. It is as if this man is standing on some kind of tower and in his last minutes in this world imagines how life has passed by him and through him.
Lazar's passage through four seasons, on the path to death, does not follow the logic of psychological, realistic theater. What gives rise to Radichkov's absurdist view of existence? The world in which the Bulgarian lives becomes increasingly paradoxical with the discrepancy between words and deeds, between hypocritical morality and dishonest actions. Radichkov writes: "Man is a cunning and intelligent being, although during his life he is more cunning than he is perfecting his mind. Usually in the end he remains deceived, but he should not be told this."

A performance that uses not only the dramatic text of the author, but also his poetry, which opens the doors to a world of unceasing worries and melancholy. One of the most emblematic love stories comes to life on the stage of the Sliven Theater. "At the Foot of Vitosha" is a play that contains the poet's personal confession, his dramatic love with Mina Todorova and the impossibility of feeling and reason going hand in hand. Love as a feeling, duty and problem in a world of intrigue and manipulation. A story about a love blessed not by ritual or tradition, but by hearts for which even death is not a separation.

Would you sacrifice a part of yourself in the name of love?
Literally!
A man on the verge of the greatest success of his career and a woman who is the same blood type as him.
Literally!
"Incorrigible" is a story about two friendly families who are on the way to finding out if love has a price and what it is. Is it possible that the answer to this question will turn them from big
friends with little secrets, into little friends with big secrets?
"Irreparable" is the newest title in the repertoire of the "Stefan Kirov" Theater - Sliven.
The Austrian author Stefan Vogel is one of the most staged contemporary playwrights in Europe. He himself shares: "I think that any topic that one takes seriously is
very suitable for this. Comedy as a genre allows all taboos to be overcome.”

a memory of an Epic of the Unforgettable
The icons of the Bulgarian Renaissance, ordinary and fearsome portraits of LEVSKI, BENKOVSKI, BROTHERS ZHEKOVI, KOCHO and the heroism of SHIPKA - this is what we remind you of, our dear viewer.
Because without a past - there is no future, without individuals - there is no society, without history - there is no people.
