 "Gentlemen, Comrades, Bastards and Ladies" (directed by Dimo Deshev, Bulgaria, Pleven Theatre) - Special prize European Theater Festival (city Slivnitsa, October, 2018)

…When I understood that I loved you, honey, 
When I understood that I love you more than my life, 
Above all that can be loved – 
The children, the gods, the gold and the acacias – 
I dreamed neither about pastures of Heaven with apples of honey, 
Nor the autumn fields with flavor of wilting, 
I dreamed about the happy eyes of Minotaur, 
Betrayed by Ariadne, betrayed by the gods, 
Betrayed by the all, betrayed by the fate, 
The happy eyes of Minotaur, 
Awaiting  a strike Minotaur, 
The happy eyes of Minotaur, 
The deathful eyes of Minotaur.
 
"The happy eyes of Minotaur"
