The Lover from ZanziBar

Created with grace and ease, on the border between the comic and the dramatic, Prof. Atanas Atanasov’s The Lover from ZanziBar peeks with a smile, irony, and self-irony into our everyday lives, which are sometimes dull—perhaps because they lack dreams, or because passion has faded and we fear loneliness...

After the questions come the dreams, embodied in the idea of the exotic Zanzibar. A place far away and out of reach, it awakens desires and longings which, it turns out, can be easily satisfied with the help of digital technologies and a little imagination—the characters’ main weapon in the play against boredom and despair.
