The Wonder of the Other - Sofia Labyrinth 2008

"In time, everything you hear will fade into silence.
Everything you see will perish.
Everything you smell and taste will rot,
and everything you touch will break.

But there is that which never breaks, never dies
and can be found in the place from where you are hearing these words
the place where you are looking from
the place where you smell, taste, think, feel, touch from.

Go to the heart of this place.
Find that which never dies."

These are the words that frame the journey of visitors to our current Labyrinth production in Sofia, Bulgaria. A co-production between Biveda and Cynefin made possible by the European Foundation for Culture. Co-devised with ten young local volunteers, twelve Bulgarian actors and six Serbian actors this is one of the most populated Labyrinths Cynefin has made so the large space available to us at the "Chitaliste" or Cultural House in downtown Sofia has been utalized.

There's been a lot of coverage on national TV and we were sold out quite soon. With 7 performances to go the audience reaction is getting stronger...which seems to be a pattern to longer runs.
