Nashenets
"It all started when I thought I was Don Juan ("Don Juan" - 1993). Soon after, I performed the song of all songs ("Song of Songs" - 1993) with great trepidation! I met a mysterious lady who helped me step onto the big stage and meet the many spectators ("The Lady with the Puppy" - 1996). To this day, I do not understand how I gathered the courage to approach the New Testament ("Gospel according to Matthew" - 1997). This helped me to find the man in me ("The Man Himself" - 1999)! I dreamed that I woke up ("The Dream" - 2001). I woke up and had a concussion ("Concussion" - 2006)! I learned a lot from him, both about my ancestors and about the modern Bulgarian public ("Bulgarian stories" - 2010). Later I understood that I had imperceptibly turned into a funny person who dreams again ("Dream of a funny person" - 2014). I have finally reached the truth! I'm just an artist locked in the theater after the end of another performance and I can't get out into reality ("Jubilee" - 2015). Then the black chicken landed on the stage and again carried me on the wings of the theater ("The Black Chicken" - 2016)! I played, played, played and got to ("Marius 50" - 2019). I will look for the reasons in "Nashenets"!"

The Offline Dungeon (and Dragon) - DnD 5e
We invite you to a special D&D 5E game that combines a classic D&D dungeon crawl with elements of the Rogue-lite genre of electronic games. The roleplay part is kept to a minimum (but we won't limit you). The emphasis is on combat, puzzles and riddles.
The game format is experimental and something we are trying for the first time. You will take on the role of a group of adventurers who have dared to rob a dragon's lair. Now the dragon is on your heels as you search for a way out.
Your goal is to get out of his lair alive, and during the game you will go through a dungeon with several "rooms". In each of them you will randomly face a different challenge. You'll have a choice of several different paths to take to get to the exit. All roads lead out, but some will prove easier than others.
You need a party of four players. In the event that you do not have accomplices for this endeavor, we can group you with others willing to participate without a team. We have prepared characters for you and you will be able to choose them on the spot. And if you prefer, you can also make your own in advance (rules for that below).
Each group, whether beginners or experienced, will have a chance to complete the dungeon successfully, and for those who succeed, we have also prepared a prize that will be played in a raffle (as the best chance of winning will go to those with the best performance).
The prize is provided by our friends at https://www.facebook.com/Experify3DPrint.

Condemned souls
In one of her letters to her son in Spain, the writer's mother will exclaim: "Spain - that was your dream, dear child! And here you are now! With its centuries-old culture, with its historical monuments, Spain will blow you away, intoxicate you, reborn you." Love reincarnates, as if irretrievably, a rich, self-centered, spoiled English woman - Fanny Horne, and she discovers another person in herself - devoted, self-sacrificing, loving without waiting for a reward and a response..... Love also reincarnates the Frenchman Jacques Murier , who graduated in medicine in Paris, follows Fanny "to the casinos and dance floors", just to be close to her, to feel her breath... Because of her, he goes to the hospital camp in Peña Ronda and becomes a real doctor. A doctor who devotes himself to the sick and dying, who does not spare himself, but accepts his work as a mission..... and leaves this world, looking with loving eyes at the one who wanted to have all his life, but was with her so little..... Love reborn and fantastic traditions of the Catholic Empire Jesuit- Ricardo Heredia. The Spaniard cannot turn his back on faith to look love in the eyes, but this love is stronger than all ideas and beliefs. And the confession of his love for Fanny merges into a plea for God's forgiveness. The shot ends this painful rebirth..... A Spain where "the world seems to meet to solve its problems." Dimitar Dimov probably longed for some kind of New World, another world - perhaps a more harmonious one... And we....long....
With the participation of: Elena Petrova, Nikolay Iliev, Lyubomir Kovachev, Nikola Oreshkov, Madeleine Yordanova, Svetlio Ivanov, Stefan Maradzhiev, Valentin Chenkov.
Dramatization and direction: Boyko Iliev

Do you swear by your children?
She is a psychologist, he is a lawyer. They are a couple as much in love as they are superstitious. One night they swear to be faithful to each other for ten years, for the sake of their children. Time is passing and the end of this "term of fidelity" is approaching. And with it comes the moment of truth - how much does it weigh to say "I swear"? As they prepare to cross this long-awaited milestone and demonstrate a clear conscience, morality and decency, the doubt of both of them begins to show more and more. Breaking morality in their own way, the couple enters a spiral of lies from which it is almost impossible to get out.
Salome Lellouche's new play Do You Swear by the Children? takes us into situations that are as intractable as they are real. Because they are part of the reality of romantic relationships today. The main roles include Vesela Babinova and Vladimir Zombori, who are also a couple off the stage. The cast is completed by Lidiya Vasileva and Daniel Kukushev. The director is Chris Sharkov, and the scenographer is Vanina Tsandeva.
After the success of "Don't say that!" with Teodora Duchovnikova and Zahari Baharov, this is the second play by the French author Salome Lellouche to appear on the Bulgarian theater stage. The comedy excites with its topicality and with its spicy sense of humor. The text is alive, surprising, intelligent, and the actors compete in an endless duel of small secrets and big lies.
