First Night Performance of a Bulgarian Play in Moldova
On 06.02.2011, in the town of Tarakliya – Moldova, the theatre of the Bulgarian Bessarabians - Smeshen Petak (Comical Friday) showed a performance, based on the Bulgarian writer Georgi Balabanov’s drama “Belite Galabi” (The White Doves). Guests to the first night performance from Bulgaria were the author of the play and Zhelyazko Kondev – Editor-in-Chief of the literature and art magazine Zhazhda (Thirst).
Nikola Draganov – Second Secretary at the Bulgarian Embassy to Moldova expressed his gratitude to the theatre Director – Mr. Ivan Borimechkov, and to the actors for their enthusiasm for the Revival period and for the efforts they put in the conservation of the Bulgarian culture. He emphasised the fact that the “Belite Galabi” drama was virtual and reflecting the circumstances of the disappearing intellectual values and the urban drift from the contemporary Bulgarian village, while at the same time it was not discarding the significant psychological moments related to the mentality of people.
The event was widely reflected by the local radio and television.
