The first theatrical production of Dimitar Dimov’s novel “Tobacco,” beloved by generations of Bulgarians!
For the stage adaptation, Yuri Dachev used the original, uncensored version of the novel, published in December 1951, 70 years before its premiere at the Varna Theatre.
“Tobacco” is a performance like a knife pressed against the throat. The world is ravaged by war. People struggle for power, money, and dominance over one another. A shattering and sensual performance about an impossible love. “Tobacco” is a provocation for the theatre, the actors, the audience, and director Bina Haralampieva. A performance in which the audience will rediscover many topical themes that connect the past and the present.
