Endless Conversation: the Macedonia Project

Endless Conversation: the Macedonia Project
is a theatre performance inspired by the current social and political situation between Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia. The public debate on both sides of the border is always emotional and often touches on sensitive issues that provoke unending controversy. How does all this affect our ordinary communication, friendships, working contacts, artistic collaborations, and in general our relationships as people and neighbors? These are just some of the seemingly simple questions that the team of the show ask themselves and try to debate with the audience. However, they elicit the most unexpected reactions.

Using the techniques of improvisational and game theatre, verbatim techniques and clowning, artists Igor Damyanov and Ivan Todorov, together with director Toni Karabashev, embark on a challenging exploration of their own experiences, of events on both sides of the border, of media commentary, political reactions and people's reflections on it all.
