The Bulgarian artists Stanislav Genadiev and Violeta Vitanova are to stage the choreography of The Colonel Bird at the theatre in Gjakova, Kosovo. The premiere will be held on 26th June, 2014.
In 1997 Hristo Boychev’s play The Colonel Bird is awarded by Harold Pinter with World winner in the International Competition for new Drama of British council. Since then the play has been translated and published in 20 languages and has over 50 productions in Europe, America and Asia.
The action takes place at the time of the war in Yugoslavia…
A U.N. humanitarian aid package falls in a distant psychiatric hospital. The package contains some canned food and K-FOR uniforms. The demented patients put on the uniforms and embark on a peace-keeping mission. As it turns out, they are the only normal people in the mindlessness of the war.
We would like to remind you that Violeta and Stanislav took part in the team of the project “The Demolition of the Eiffel Tower” in Pristina, in the fall of 2013. The play has already been awarded internationally.
