The “German” edition of 36 Monkeys’ pilot project ProText will close by the play Vorher/Nachher, by Roland Schimmelpfennig to be hosted by the Czech Cultural Centre, Sofia at 6:00 pm on December 11 and 12.
Vorher/Nachher has been translated for the first time in Bulgarian (by Angelina Georgieva). The text comprises 51 separate short scenes. Its facetious structure much resembles the narrative’s cinematographic plot. The sequence of monologues gradually overlay different details of the lives of various guests of a hotel who do not know each other. Each story takes its own course as sometimes the stories interact to add new perspectives to characters’ life-stories. The jigsaw puzzle is assembled but it rather alludes to, than exhaust, the truth of their human substance.
