“We can do anything we like as long as it is unimportant. But in all important matters the system tends increasingly to regulate our behavior”, writes Ted Kaczynski, a math professor, social critic, genius and long sought-after terrorist, in his manifesto “Industrial Society and Its Future”. True to 36 Monkeys’ interest in the hot topics of the day, P.O. Box Unabomber interlaces a number of plotlines in order to face a married scientist (embarked on the road to become a warrior), the proechidna (Zaglossus bruijni, the egg-laying mammal from New Guinea) and everybody around them (children, drivers, policemen and satellites) with the question: What are we going to do from now on?

36 Monkeys 

is an organization established in 2007. It is known mainly by its long-term project ProText in which the team of theatre directors works up a specific dynamic form of performative reading of plays (an action in-between a play’s stage reading and completed performance) and presents a selection of new European drama authors and titles in their first Bulgarian translation. Convinced that contemporary theatre could happen everywhere their shows have been performed in places as different as basements and corridors, operating and abandoned bars, fitness and Internet halls, museums, art galleries and libraries. Zdrava Kamenova, an actress and playwright and Gergana Dimitrova of 36 Monkeys collaborated and wrote the play on the occasion ofProText’s fourth edition “MADE IN BULGARIA” (2010).
