The absurd comedy "Animals" at the Hand Theater with a new date in Plovdiv, premiere in Sofia is planned

The Plovdiv Puppet and Drama Theater "Hand" invites Plovdiv residents to its next performance, recorded with "golden letters" in the repertoire of the formation. This is the show "Animals", which the actors describe as an absurd comedy about how to fly with outstretched hooves. One of the most watched and entertaining performances was created by young actors from the class of Tedi Moskov, who gather around the idea of ​​Ivomir Ignatov - Kenny.

The action takes place in a provincial psychiatric clinic. Three patients, each with a specific problem, are cared for by a doctor and a nurse. The day begins with art therapy. An involuntary participant in it, however, became a painter. Doctors and patients take together on a fabulous journey with materials at hand. Situation after situation, the imaginary world prevails. "Situations are changing rapidly and the line between reality and fantasy is blurring. Comedy situations are being created, the story is unfolding unexpectedly, everyone is turning into different funny characters," says the director.

In the dizzying race in the fantasy story, everyone undergoes a change. From rusks, the doctor turns into a fun improviser, capable of miracles. The nurse gains courage and self-confidence - from assistant to leader. The rude painter becomes sensitive and human. When they return to reality, it turns out that the experiment has helped everyone cope with their problems.

"Animals" can be seen on February 24 at 7 pm in the hall of the Hand Theater. (Located in the yard of Druzhba private school at 18 Ruski Blvd.). Tickets are sold in the Eventim network, as well as on the spot in the hall of the Hand Theater.
