EVERY FIRST WEDNESDAY

Emil Markov and Kerana in a play by Stefan Vögel

Every First Wednesday Normal people for normal sex

A beautiful but dangerous girl and an intact, if somewhat overripe, man — and already it sounds funny! She is not a prostitute. He is not a sex maniac. But they strike a deal: “I’ll pay you, and you’ll give me your body.” Neither of them is ready for what is about to happen. The dangerous girl and the overripe man put everything on the table — money, sex, fears, dreams. Without remorse and without excuses! Uninhibited reactions, mutual provocations, unpredictable consequences. And it keeps getting funnier. Before you know it, the two have gone beyond ideas of moral and immoral, right and wrong. And all of this because of an inexplicable desire to truly touch one another. And now it’s no longer just funny. Laughter and tears, tenderness and anger! Wait, is this about love after all? An unacceptable and impossible kind? If so, will they recognize it?

The untamed Kerana on a theater stage for the first time! She is fearless and loves diving into the deep end. She has never acted in a play before. And yet she immediately accepts Emil Markov’s invitation to take part in his production, because she loves the text and the interpretation Emil offers her. He, in turn, decides to invite her because of her passion, dedication, and charisma when she is on stage with her band “Kerana and the Cosmonauts.” And also because, like the characters in the play, the two of them are completely different people from different generations, and it is hard to imagine that they could have anything in common. Emil Markov and Kerana — an unexpected duo! And the music of “Kerana and the Cosmonauts.”
