Our favorite platform’s fifth edition!
Just in time, a little while before the start of final repair works designed to transform the Baths into a spa center and museum, 36 Monkeys will insert their own fragment of of independent theater’s most recent history directly into the future Museum of Sofia History. By doing so we wish a bit different museum for our city, a museum where history is being made and not just archived. A museum that traces out the contemporary heartbeats of a city in constant change. For we love to spray history instead of tapping it at the keyboard, write history not only in letters but also by images, sounds and being there. And mostly because we like making history together with you.

ProText 5: ON TIME: four authors’ miniatures on the subject of “time” in architectural space
Having visited German, French and Romanian new drama (ProText 1, 2, 3), and having created drama texts of our own jointly with writers (ProText: Made in Bulgaria) we now embark on a new adventure.
Four directors – Gergana Dimitrova, Vasilena Radeva, Petko Stoyanov, Morten K. Roesen –graduates of four different schools of theater, elaborate on the time subject, each of them interpreting it in his/her own way and each in a different genre. Four teams work in parallel while thinking theatre space as a blank sheet of paper intended for writing and reading. Thus, four miniatures “on time” are created to be performed in a common space: the Baths. Short “texts” will be read one after another and the spectators-readers will set up the common context of the performance by taking part in curving of time and twisting time arrow.
Strongly recommended:
If you come to “read” with us at the Baths, please bring a towel! (We all know towel is a must for a true hitchhiker in the Galaxy so don’t forget it. Because it is winter and district heating utility company is unwilling to turn on the hot water, we strongly recommend you to bring a warm shawl or a small blanket instead of a towel.)
And the timelier, the timelier (please see ticket prices!)
