The Bulgarian Cultural Institute London presents to you The Burning Gadulka – a performance inspired by Bulgarian culture and folklore.

The Burning Gadulka is a contemporary Bulgarian mono-drama written by Rayko Baychev, and translated into English for the first time. It was created in collaboration with The Bulgarian Cultural Institute in London, and has received widely positive reviews.

Following a series of failures at music festivals, a Bulgarian musician faces a midlife crisis. Is his lifelong love affair with his instrument – the gadulka, about to be challenged by the arrival of a mysterious girl? Will his crippling shyness destroy any relationship before it can begin? Where do pandas come into the dilemma? Miro Kokenov takes us on a comic journey of doubt, sarcasm and the wonders of nature.

Cast: Miroslav Kokenov

Playwright: Rayko Baychev

Directed by Milena Aneva
