ICH BIN BULGARE?! - A Fast-Paced Musical Exploration of "Heimat"

Can a Romani woman become a superstar in Vienna? Why does an intellectual discover his pride in the old "Heimat" of all places in Austria? What do so-called "roots" still mean for the second or third generation? And how does the narrator cope as she leaps between worlds before finally landing in Berlin?

Actress Vidina Popov weaves together interviews, documentary material and personal encounters into a fast-paced, 360-degree musical investigation of the concept of "Heimat" - asking about its loss, the clichés attached to it, and the experience of finding oneself in a new place. With sharp wit she exposes how deceptive assumptions about others and oneself can be, laying bare the mechanisms behind them.

A one-woman show blending theatre and stand-up, with live music and plenty of Balkan soul. Hoppa!
