Between Heaven and Earth: Tales of Hidden Bulgaria

by A Spell In Time

“Primal tales from the heart of Bulgarian myth and folklore”

A woman sits at the crossroads where all dreams come to pass. The stars glisten, the universe listens and stories of old unfold. In a magical landscape that transcends time and space, an ancient river demands a sacrifice, a wild man rides out of the forest, a bride reaches for the heavens, and dark secrets lie buried beneath cold stones.

With a spellbinding mix of storytelling, ritual and evocative music, A Spell In Time presents beautifully haunting tales from the heart of Bulgarian myth and folklore.

A Spell In Time is a unique and acclaimed British-Bulgarian storytelling performance company that brings the power and passion of Bulgaria’s traditional tales to UK audiences in English for the very first time.

These tales have ancient origins and are largely unknown in the West. Archetypal characters, thrilling narratives and exquisite imagery combine to conjure the intense world of dream and a mythic age of long ago when anything was possible. Beautifully atmospheric and profoundly entertaining, they speak to the heart, mind and soul.

“Our audiences were spellbound barely wishing to draw breath in case the spell was broken”
Graham Langley, Storytelling Café
“Glorious storytelling and music… the stars, the moon and the lamp-posts leaned down to listen in at the windows”
Nell Phoenix, StoryNight at Torriano
“Extraordinarily poetic…Storytelling at its most deeply colourful red”
