In a world where power dictates the truth and art refuses to obey it, one of the most provocative theatrical experiences of the season is born.
„Scenes from an Execution“ by Howard Barker comes to life in a contemporary and uncompromising reading by director Stayko Murdzhev. With his characteristic clean, modern aesthetic, he creates a stage world in which form is reduced to the essential, so that the great question can stand out: can art be free in a world ruled by political interests?
At the centre of this clash stands the commanding presence of Radina Kardzhilova – an actress of vivid, distinctive talent, who builds a character of strength, nuance and inner uncompromisingness. Her performance becomes the heart of the production – at once fragile and irrepressible, human and rebellious.
Beside her stands the Pleven company – an ensemble of proven professionalism and stage maturity, which turns every scene into a living organism, pulsing with tension, irony and deep drama.
„Scenes from an Execution“ is not merely a performance – it is an aesthetically precise study of the boundaries between the artist and power, between truth and its price. A theatre that is not afraid to ask uncomfortable questions – and to leave the answers in the mind of the viewer.
