BG Marius

A one-man show by Marius Kurkinski, based on works by Bulgarian authors. Synopsis:

The performance “BG Marius” can be seen as a journey through Marius Kurkinski’s memories—a kind of library of his favorite works from Bulgarian literature and drama, showing just how colorful the world and everyday life of Bulgarians have been over the years.

The performance features works by Ivan Vazov, Nikola Vaptsarov, Stanislav Stratiev, Aleko Konstantinov, Mihalaki Georgiev and Anton Strashimirov; personal correspondence between Marius and his loved ones; many other authors—and even ChatGPT.

“BG Marius” reminds us all that Bulgaria is not merely the international country code “BG,” but our homeland: the place where we and our ancestors were born, grew up, and chose to live our lives—a place with a rich history and a bright future, for all its particularities.
