Bai Ganyo

In Petar Kaukov's reading, "Bai Ganyo" steps off the pages of classic literature and stands before us — alive, loud, contradictory and human. This is not simply a stage adaptation of the iconic character but a theatrical study of the Bulgarian character, in which the boundaries between past and present blur. Ganyo travels across Europe and Bulgaria, but above all through the layers of our national psychology. His self-regard, resourcefulness, naivety, arrogance, ignorance and survival at any cost all sound at once absurd and painfully familiar.
