Japanese theatre play presented in Sofia

Japanese Ashibue Theater presents in Sofia “Gauche the Cellist” by great writer Kenji Miyazawa (1896-1933). This is the story of a musician, considered mediocre, who presented himself brilliantly at an important concert... with the help of animals. The show's director is Ms. Tsukushi Sonoyama, who is also the theater’s director. It is a curious fact that actors learned part of the text in Bulgarian with the help of translator Kristina Ivanova, who worked with them in Japan for a considerable period of time for 16 hours each day. The performance on November 3 is yet another event from the 30th edition of the Days of Japanese Culture in Bulgaria.
