Four weeks before the curtain
24 January 2019
How quiet a theater room can be during a rehearsal I understand as I watch the two actress in front of me and I hear her shirt slide down her arm while she picks up a glass to her mouth. The two improvise with their backs to one another: each is searching for her own movements for the scene they will be together in in a moment. That they are already in a perfect sinc, I gather as without seeing one another, they each pick up their glass and with an air of complete concentration start balancing it on their forhead. We're in Sfumato theatre for the rehearseal of The same day - a play by Stefan Ivanov, directed by Columbian-born, USA-raised Estefania Fadul. -

What we didn't know about... Mikhail Baryshnikov
22 November 2018
We know he's one of the best ballet dancers in the world, and that's why it's huge news that he arrives here with his mono spectacle Brodsky / Barishnikov in January. The tickets are going in a quick step, so let us say a few things about Mikhail, who first stands next to the ballet stand when he's 9 and says his career starts from Bulgaria after winning a gold medal at an international competition in Varna. Next is the globe - with a major leap to Canada, where he escapes the Soviet Union. Once he senses freedom, he begins to experiment with modern dance, establishes his own company in the States, becomes a choreographer, director, actor - all these faces we are showing you in four brief etudes now. -

Alive Topography
7 December 2017
text Violeta Ivanova
Imagine an exhibition of huge abstract paintings that are created right then and there. Now imagine an atmospheric music concert that is best experienced if you're seated, still and silent. Now combine the two things in one and the image in your head will be very close to what's coming to Dom na kinoto next Thursday - with Japanese artist Akiko Nakayama and E.U.E.R.P.I.'s ambient-drone music. -
