Clutch, Half Shoe, and Moss Beard: Nikolay Binev Youth Theatre - Sofia, Bulgaria

With a great sense of humour and an adventurous spirit, we’ll return to the familiar and beloved characters from the classic children’s book „Clutch, Half Shoe, and Moss Beard “.

These quirky eccentrics will offer us their unique perspective on the world. They’ll find themselves in an absurd world, governed by its own rules and logic. Absurd, but only to them – оr absurd in general – doesn’t really matter. In the end, we’ll look at it with amusement.

“A story, at first glance, about friendship and heroism, but it contains current and universal human questions about power, fear and their common existence,” says the director of the show, Yordan Tinkov.

About

In the building of the old Balkan cinema in 1945, the National Theatre for Youth opened its doors. On the memorable date of January 25, the theater had its first premiere of “PUSS IN BOOTS” – staged by P. K. Stoychev, adaptation by Nina Stoycheva-Danchova. Despite the difficult beginning, the dream of creating a theater dedicated to performances for children became a reality. Later, the theater was moved to the new building on Knyaz Dondukov Blvd., but this did not last long due to a fire in the building. Since then, the Youth Theatre often changed addresses until funds were obtained to restore the building. Until 2006, the new space at the familiar address on Knyaz Dondukov Blvd. By a decree of the President of the Republic of January 27, 2006, the theater adopted the name of one of the exceptional and most strongly connected with the history of the youth scene actors– the actor Nikolay Binev. Erudite, with a noble bearing, a sharp mind and a brilliant sense for the comic and dramatic in the theater, our patron combines all the qualities to which we aim.
