"WOMAN IS A FISH BONE"

The performance lasts  1h.15 min.
​

The play, directed by Elitsa Yovcheva, is based on stories by Yordan Yovkov and focuses on female characters in his work - Albena, Peony and Pauna.

Participants: Elitsa Yovcheva, Elitsa Kostova and Dayana Dimitrova

    The performance "The Woman is a Herringbone" awakens the cellular memory of the water from the gushing pure source of Yovkov's word and revives it in flesh and blood. She dresses him in movements, kissed by the light of feelings, and leaves us breathless from the beginning.
    Captivated by the magic of the intimate confessions of Albena, Peony and Pauna, we rediscover the Woman from Yovkov's stories as beginning and end, as reward and pain, as aspiration and doom, as king and herringbone ... And so, imperceptibly, we slowly sink in the timelessness of the moment called Theater.
     Texts are monologue, first-person singular. They are intersected by short plastic compositions. This mixture of different creative approaches is purposefully sought in order to different, interesting and attractive presentation in order to engage the attention of a wide range of audiences, including adolescents, teenagers and young people who study Jordan Yovkov as a mandatory author in the curriculum.
   The behavior of the characters is dynamic, active, lined with drama. The director's goal is to immerse the viewer in the world of each of these women, to provoke emotion, empathy and provoke questions related to our time and way of life. To draw the audience's attention to the importance of women, her ability to change, influence and provoke, both in those past times and today.
