A conversation without a beginning or an end.
Can you hear me?
If we simply stop speaking, the world will become a paradise.
A syndrome of people who fail to hear each other, consumed by themselves and nothing else.
Have we consumed ourselves?
Can I continue?
Sometimes, I speak, but it feels like I can only hear underwater—a conversation of solitude.

The miniature performance “Syndrome of the Absent-minded” was created as part of the HELIOS 2024 program under the mentorship of Vladimir Angelov and was later further developed.

“Syndrome of the Absent-minded” is created by the financial support of the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria.

This performance is supported by the National Culture Fund and Sofia Municipality – Sofia Culture Program, as part of the project “Derida Stage in Support of Young Choreographers.”
