The state head sent
George is a graduate on May 24
Before the ball of his son Georgi Rumen Radev went with his daughter to the theater – they watched “The Father” at the National Theater.
Months ago – at the show “Bulgarian Christmas”, the president and Vlado Penev talked about the production, where the actor plays the lead role. But only a few days ago, when they met again on some occasion, Radev told him that he had not seen him.
“Come on, now we will play it for the 50th time”, Penev invites him and the president really goes with his daughter Darina, who is a second year student at NATFA, and his wife Desislava. By the way, two days after the show, on May 24, Radev sent his son Georgi to graduate school. The student graduated from the 138th school “Prof. Vasil Zlatarski ”. Two years before him, Darina was also a high school senior.
“I thank them for their attention. I think they liked it, “added the actor. After the curtains are drawn, the troupe gathers for a small celebration, because it does not happen that each play lasts 50 performances with the request for more, and on the big stage. Congratulations to all 40,000 viewers who have watched “The Father” so far.
In the play by Florian Zeller, Andre (Vladimir Penev), along with his memory, gradually loses the support and meaning in his life. His daughter Anna (Radina Kardzhilova) is also having a hard time with the situation. In the play, the main character is 80 years old, but in the production his age is in line with Vlado Penev, who is 63. “In reality, Radina also plays a woman her age,” he said. Julian Vergov, Teodora Duhovnikova, Maria Kavardzhikova and Konstantin Elenkov also take part in the production of Diana Dobreva.
The heavy plot, which fills the big hall of the National Theater every time, categorically refutes the myth that the spectators just want to be entertained. “The most important lesson of the play is that the audience should not be underestimated. It needs performances like ours, which fights for the truth, to touch real life. Every truth weighs, even the happy one sometimes,” says Penev.
Years ago, he watched “The Father in Broadway, New York” two steps from Times Square. “The pleasure for the actor is to see and hear how all 800 people in the hall breathe at the same time, and at the end of the play they sob at the same time,” says Penev.
The president’s son was celebrating yesterday, and the father had resigned this afternoon to take part in the family funeral.
