„Скритото ниво“ е съвременно танцово представление което използва инстантна композиция и импровизация. Създадено от интернационален квартет от изпълнители, всеки от които с по-вече 15г. опит в този жанр, представлението адресира сложната социалната реалност на нашето време.

И на оркестъра на „Титаник“ беше наредено да продължи да свири, дори когато водата се лееше енергично изпод вратите на залата“.

– По разказ на оцелял очевидец

Изпълнители: Паоло Чинголани (Италия), Зорница Стоянова (САЩ/България), Ивайло Димитров (България), Саша Кръстарска (България)

*Спектакълът е осъществен с подкрепата на Министерство на Културата и е колаборация между “Невиждан театър” и сдружение “БодиМелд”.


‘The Hidden Level’ is a performance that addresses the social reality of our time. 

Created by a quartet of international and critically acclaimed performers, each of whom has fifteen-plus years of experience in instant composition and improvisation for the stage. 

Paolo Chingolani, Sasha Krustarska, Ivaylo Dimitrov, and Zornitsa Stoyanova will share the complex reality in which the narration is always hidden, not expressed, and manifested.  

“And the orchestra of the Titanic was ordered to continue playing, even when the water was vigorously pouring in from under the hall doors.”

The project is created with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and is a collaboration between “The Unseen Theater” and “BodyMeld”.
