It is about shifting illusions, about peering into the clear spring where you see your humble face.

"Oedipus and the Prophets" is a song about the admirable courage to be human. **The project was realized under the "Heritage 2023" program of the "Plovdiv 2019" foundation** **REVIEWS** "Such theatrical evenings fill our souls with Light, Faith, Love, and Hope! OEDIPUS AND THE PROPHETS 'provokes' Emotions that work on all levels at every moment. Antiquity is 'placed' in the Present, here-and-now, in a unique way. 'Huge' sculpted texts and titanic meaning, directly 'shooting' into the souls of the audience. And quite strong and quite personal energy. Cosmogonic and Cathartic..." - Maria Panayotova "One of the best plays, it was a pleasure for the senses and an unceasing urge of the actors to build upon and go beyond the characters... if possible!" - Maria Andonova "Bravo to Drama Theater - Plovdiv and the team that realized this trilogy!
