This production of As You Like It, based on Shakespeare’s comedy, marks the Bulgarian debut of internationally acclaimed Romanian director Gábor Tompa. In this staging, love uplifts, art liberates, and nature heals. At the heart of the story is the Forest of Arden, resembling the ruins of an Elizabethan theater—because, much like in the forest and in the theater, anything is possible, and those who enter emerge transformed. The forest becomes a symbol of escape from authoritarian rule and a utopian pursuit of freedom.

With English subtitles.
