„State of Emergency“ – a comedy about life when the world stopped

There are moments in history that leave a lasting mark on all of us. The period of quarantine was such a time – a time when everyday life shrank to the walls of the home, and the most ordinary things took on new meaning. These very experiences come to life on stage in the stand-up show „State of Emergency“ – a comedy created from real stories, told with plenty of self-deprecation and genuine humor.

The original script is by Здрава Каменова, Богдана Трифонова and Светослав Томов – a team that knows how to turn difficult situations into entertaining stories. Here you will hear stories about the lockdowns, about the lack of social life, about people in uniform and people without masks, about online learning that turned every home into a classroom, and about the endless worries – from work and money to the hairdresser and the space that is never enough.

On stage, these stories come to life through the incredible comic talent of Стефания Колева, Здрава Каменова and Богдана Трифонова. They turn their personal experiences of life within 60 square meters – together with husbands, children, and pets – into a hysterically funny show. Unafraid to call things by their real names, the actresses paint a picture in which every audience member will recognize familiar scenes from their own everyday life.

„State of Emergency“ is not just theater about the pandemic – it is theater about human resilience and our ability to cope through laughter. While the world was afraid and waiting for news, these stories show how life goes on, albeit in a new form. The laughter here is not just entertainment, but a lifeline that helps us get through the toughest days.

This is a show that speaks to all generations. Parents will recognize themselves in the chaos of remote learning. Young people will remember the first weeks of the lockdown with a smile and a bit of nostalgia. And together we will all realize that even in the most limited conditions a person can find a reason to laugh.

„State of Emergency“ is a comedy about the time when we were together more than ever – and when we discovered that laughter is the best form of freedom.
