Izvnredno lyubovno

What sets this love-comedy apart? A nimble hybrid form. The evening moves like a playlist: razor‑sharp stand‑up, confessional storytelling, quick character switches and bursts of choreography, all cued by playful sound design. The result is a living collage of eight true tales about romance in Bulgaria today—told with a wink, but never without heart.

Who’s on stage: three audience favorites with distinct voices. Stefania Koleva brings the timing of a seasoned theatre lead (she is an actress of the National Theatre “Ivan Vazov” and a Monte‑Carlo Television Festival nominee in 2010). Zdrava Kamenova, known as both performer and playwright, was distinguished with the Brücke Berlin literary prize for the script “Home for Sheep and Dreams,” a hint at how precisely she can distill human feeling. Bogdana Trifonova—radio host and actress—adds a broadcaster’s instinct for rhythm and audience rapport, honed every morning behind the mic at BG Radio’s “Starter.” Different energies, one tight ensemble.

A show with a backstory: “Extraordinarily in Love” grows out of the trio’s ongoing “Izvanredno” project. After their hit “State of Emergency,” this second chapter zooms in on matters of the heart. The team later proved their following with the large‑scale spin‑off “Extraordinarily Special,” which filled Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture with thousands of viewers—proof that their blend of humor and sincerity resonates well beyond small venues and tours across cities from Burgas to Veliko Tarnovo.

What you’ll experience tonight

• Stories that leap from first‑desk crushes to high‑speed highway meet‑cutes and modern‑day messaging—then land somewhere tender and true.
• Characters built in an instant: the three performers trade roles, ages and viewpoints with the ease of stand‑up pros.
• Music that nudges each turn of mood, from confessional to celebratory, without pausing the momentum.

Come for the laughs; stay for the surprising aftertaste. The show’s punchlines tend to boomerang—hours later you catch the subtext about choice, chance and how we tell our own stories. If sharp Bulgarian comedy about relationships is your thing, you might also enjoy the mischievous twists of Lyubov po scenariy v HOLLYWOOD or the marital mayhem of Otchayani sapruzi 2: Brakuvani. Prefer bittersweet confessionals? Try Vsicho tova e tya. For a darker comic edge, the satirical nerve of Kod Jalto and the quirky logic of Idiotyt zvyni vinagi tri pyti make fitting companions on your theatre list.

Language: Bulgarian. Expect frank talk, quick improvisational beats and a pace that keeps you leaning forward. Couples, singles, cynics and romantics sit side by side here—and often laugh at the very same line.
