"WE ARE NOT ONE OF THEM" by CHUDOMIR
Boris Hristov House of Culture

We Bulgarians are very fond of laughing at the shortcomings of others. We criticize gossip, and we ourselves spread the most piquant gossip. We hate adultery, and it often turns out that we are hiding some other sin. We sneer at drunkenness, and not infrequently find ourselves under the table. All this is not alien to Chudomir's colourful characters. The iconic characters of Popa, Kaka Siyka, Liar Sabi, Neno the Senegalese, Daskala, Yunak Pavli and Totka Vdovichka come to life in a colourful and funny kaleidoscope that began with a funeral and ended with a wedding - the ultimate experiences in one day, in one village, in one Bulgaria.
These colorful characters put on amazing numbers, but there are never any hard feelings after the end. The humor is always unflinching, and the line between truth, joke and fantasy is non-existent. And somewhere in between the songs, dances and banter, a little sadness creeps in, a beautiful nostalgia for some colourful and unique characters that have gradually disappeared in our unified times. An ache for an enchanting language in which beautiful words have been replaced by cold foreign words.
