THEATRE SHOW

Toplocentrala, Sofia (BG)

Wonderspace Future

Multimedia theatre show on astrobiology

Wonderspace Future is a multimedia theatre performance exploring the theme of life in space. In a fun, exciting, and unexpected way, the show delves into different aspects of life beyond Earth.

In the near future, humanity is reaching for the stars, and the first child born in space, Mira, has become a symbol of hope and technological progress. Growing up on the Icarus orbital station, she is a global phenomenon – an influencer, an experiment, and an icon of the future.

As society elevates her to near-mythical status, Mira begins to question her role. Deprived of true choice, she longs for Earth — a world she has never touched but which calls to her with its mystery. Meanwhile, two lovable alien explorers, Flip and Flop, stumble upon the planet and see it as the perfect place to grow tea.

Blending philosophical reflection, social satire, and science fiction, the play raises profound questions about human identity, isolation, and the price of progress. All of this is infused with sharp humor and fascinating insights. Will Mira embrace the destiny imposed upon her, or will she carve out her own path?

WORKSHOP

DOX: Center for Contemporary Art, Prague

AI as Ghostwriter, AI as Story Architect: A Hands-On Workshop in Human-AI Creative Collaboration

ZIP-Scene Conference on Immersive Storytelling vol. 8. 

This workshop invites participants to test, in practice, the question this conference poses in theory: where does authenticity live when a story is co-authored by a machine? The workshop's premise is that authenticity in AI-assisted narrative is not a matter of origin but of where interpretive labor sits in the collaboration, and the only way to feel that distinction is to work through it directly.

04MEET ME

My
Story

A few words about my journey.

As a small child, I was very curious. I loved to read. I read just about anything—fairy tales from all over the world, popular science magazines, historical comics, and adventure novels. When I was 6 or 7, my aunt took me to the cinema to see “Star Wars.” That seemed to shape my taste in movies, and to this day, some of my favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy. My fascination with cinema was also fueled by the fact that my father worked at the National Palace of Culture—a massive cultural center in the heart of Sofia. This meant free tickets to all the major film festivals in the city. And did I mention I absolutely love comedies? I associate humor with two of the most important qualities I value in people: intelligence and a lighthearted, joyful approach to life.
