HITR PETAR AND NASTRADIN HODJA

DON’T MISS IT!

“Hitr Petar and Nasreddin Hodja, Saviors of Modern Bulgaria” — a political satire that feels especially timely in the midst of election campaigns for yet another round of elections in our country! The promises get bigger and bigger, while the intellect gets smaller and smaller! It’s time for the truth, served with plenty of laughter and a pinch of bitter irony!

“Hitr Petar and Nasreddin Hodja, Saviors of Modern Bulgaria” is a performance that brings together classic Bulgarian characters in a struggle against the pressing problems of our time. Through the figures of Hitr Petar, Nasreddin Hodja, Bay Ganyo, and others, the production offers an ironic and sarcastic look at the social and political challenges facing Bulgaria.

The theme of the country’s “salvation” raises an important question: what does it actually mean to save Bulgaria, and is that even possible under present-day realities? The performance uses humor to expose the absurdities of modern society and to prompt the audience to reflect on their own place within it.

With its unique blend of traditional characters and contemporary themes, the performance offers not only entertainment, but also a challenge to think about identity, social values, and the future of Bulgaria.
