“Light And Shadows Wall”
Genre: Interactive music-video Installation
Dates: 19:11 – 22: 11h, running non-stop except during other events
Organization – Albena Baeva, Ivan Shopov
“Light and Shadows Wall” is a result of the collaboration between musician and artist Ivan Shopov (Balkansky/Cooh) and digital artist Albena Baeva. “Lights and Shadows Wall” consists of an illuminated white wall and a motion tracking system. The data from the position of the shadows of the audience on the wall are used as an input material to create and control the music composition. In this way light and dark, material and immaterial transform into a sonic atmosphere and space for improvisation.

Four performers play four different versions of Borges, embodying his different characters. In this world, a library and a universe are set in parity while the spaces and their inhabitants are totally made out of quotes. Directed by the author of Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Shanghai, China, at the end of October 2014. Each of the six scenes of the play is performed on one of the six floors of the history building in the center of the city.

Facebook critics
Genre: Experimental workshop on online theater criticism
What is the potential of the social networks with regard to theatre criticism and journalism? How can their specific qualities be used to reach a wider, and no less meaningful impact of the events in contemporary music arts? In the days of the Fifth ACT Festival for independent theatre, the “Facebook critics” workshop will be experimenting with the function of criticism as a “multi-mediograph”. A project by theatre and dance critic and researcher Angelina Georgieva, in which students in their second year of “Theater Studies and Theater Management” (NATFA) will be involved in the festival program by exploring the abilities of short formats for theatre criticism and how to “write” with different media – text, video and audio. Follow “Facebook critics” on “Facebook critics”.
With gratitude to the “Theater Studies” department of NATFA “Kr. Sarafov”
