Zahari Karabashliev's play, winner of the 2025 Askeer Award for contemporary Bulgarian drama, is staged for the first time before Bulgarian audiences in its full text. Directed by Yana Titova. A group of abducted strangers are shut up in an unknown place waiting to hear the size of their ransom, and the play handles freedom, identity and submission with unexpected humour. It runs about 1 hour 20 minutes.
