ICH BIN BULGARE?! - A Fast-Paced Musical Investigation of the Concept of "Heimat" — Heimathafen Neukölln, Berlin

Can a Romnja woman become a superstar in Vienna?
How does an intellectual only discover pride in the old "Heimat" once they've moved to Austria?
What do so-called "roots" still mean for the second or even third generation?
And how does the narrator cope, jumping between worlds before finally landing in Berlin?

Actress Vidina Popov weaves together interviews, documentary material and personal encounters into a fast-paced, musical 360-degree investigation of the concept of "Heimat" - questioning 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 about 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!
