THE SERPENT’S GIFT: Winter Tales of Hidden Bulgaria
by A Spell In Time

Monday 3 December 2018
19.30
Sofia Gallery

It’s midwinter and in the heart of the forest something stirs. A girl goes missing, a kingdom falls into ruin and the swing of an axe changes a man’s life forever. But when a serpent makes a promise, is it a blessing or is it a curse?

Interweaving storytelling, ritual and evocative music, A Spell In Time presents gloriously dark seasonal tales spiced with warm winter blessings from the heart of Bulgarian myth and folklore.

Performances are in English and are for adults. They are not suitable for children under 10.

A Spell In Time is an acclaimed British-Bulgarian storytelling company that brings the power and magic of Bulgaria’s myths and folk tales to UK audiences for the first time. Performers are: Moni Sheehan, storyteller and Ivor Davies, musician. For this performance we also welcome special guests from the wonderful London Bulgarian Choir led by Dessislava Stefanova.

“Glorious storytelling and music… the stars, the moon and the lamp-posts leaned down to listen”
