Participants: Alexander Kadiev, Alexander Doinov, Fahradin Fahradinov, Katerina Evro, Anelia Lutsinova
"One misty autumn Parisian morning, to the sound of an old French accordion, the noise of the Seine river and the smell of freshly baked croissants, the brakes of a taxi screeching...Victor Tabouret, a merchant from the French city of Limoges, arrives in Paris to visit his son Michel Tabouret to his lodgings to tell him that his mother has run away with his uncle to the Alps. Mr. Tabure's only hope is to get understanding from his son. But instead of Victor's understanding, he is about to receive another surprise in his life - the news that his son is homosexual, and Victor's acquaintance with Michel's "girlfriend" - the charming José Pilet - makes this moment dramatic for the characters and doubly comical for the audience.
A comedy loaded with lots of laughs... a comedy about the clash of generations, sexual orientation, values, ideals and love, love in different forms and dimensions"

"Before the beginning of the action in this play, a wayward God made a strange decision - that men should lose their power and hand it over to women, that is, men should completely take over the housework, raising children, and women should become heads of families and take over the management of the municipality... The roles are reversed - men are the weaker sex - they complain, whine and are sexually harassed, while women drink, beat, court aggressively and abuse power... On the contrary, a world that can and to help both sexes learn from their mistakes, and it may or may not help…
I find no other hidden meaning or deeper messages, and perhaps I am not perceptive enough to see them. For me, this is about having fun. The other important issue is the measure, quality and ingenuity in this entertainment..."

The director of the show is Stefan Spasov.
