The Bulgarian Cultural Institute presents “Kitchen” an author’s dance-theater performance that crosses traditional boundaries and touches the audience through an alternative culinary experience on a non-traditional stage:
“Kitchen” recreates the glowing atmosphere and dynamics in the professional kitchen through the prism of “immersive” theater (immersive – immersion), which allows the audience to immerse themselves in the action and experience the extreme situations that usually remain hidden from people.
The love for art brings together the choreographer Kosta Karakashyan and the director and playwright Antonia Georgieva in partnership with the master confectioner Alexander Tsekov, creative director of the restaurant “Cosmos”, who together decide to take interesting horizons in this difficult time for art.
The paths of Costa and Antonia do not meet for the first time. After successfully making the short film “WAITING FOR COLOR”, which won the Lumiere Prize at the Cinédanse Festival, fate brought them together again for this unusual project.
Together with Alexander, the challenge for something new and different in the kitchen includes Alexandra Talyokova, Iskra Daskalova, Krastyo Metodiev and Yanitsa Stankeva – four prominent dancers in the aesthetics of contemporary dance, break and waking. The non-traditional stage space is separated from the artistic view of the set designer Boris Dalchev and the composer and music engineer Georgi Atanasov.
This is the first of such experimental projects of this creative team, created for alternative spaces, which aim to present the performing arts in a different light and to develop and promote the immersive genre in Bulgaria. The project is implemented with the support of the National Culture Fund and HRC Culinary Academy.
