THE LAND OF THE SNAKE — A Shepherd’s Legend

Inspired by Bulgarian myths and legends.

Where song speaks in place of words, love blossoms between a shepherd and a young woman in a nameless village. The arrival of a mysterious stranger unsettles their happiness and sets dangerous events in motion.

Magical beings from Bulgarian folklore will test the strength of the heart, courage, and faithfulness. The performance tells the story of a young hero who discovers that true love is the most powerful magic of all—a tale filled with music, mystery, and hope.
