Vsiaka parva sriada

About the play and its author
“Vsiaka parva sriada” is the Bulgarian staging of Austrian playwright Stefan Vögel’s comedy “Jeden ersten Mittwoch.” In the original, two strangers meet in a hotel on the first Wednesday of each month under strict rules — no names, no questions, no feelings — until the façade inevitably cracks. The piece is a compact two-hander (one woman, one man) written as quick, witty spoken theatre with a modern pulse, translated into Bulgarian by Vladko Murdarov for Black Flamingo Publishing.

This Bulgarian production
Director and co-star Emil Markov builds the evening around intimate, up‑close acting, with the music credit going to Kerana’s own band “Kerana i Kosmonavtite,” which lends the show a contemporary edge. The creative team lists set and costume designer Vanina Tsandeva, and the recommended age is 16+.

Kerana’s first straight‑play role
Best known as the magnetic frontwoman of “Kerana and the Cosmonauts,” Kerana steps away from concerts and musicals to make her debut in a non‑musical play here — a choice she has discussed publicly, crediting Markov’s trust and the script’s electricity. Outside the concert stage, audiences have also seen her in musical theatre titles such as Evita with the Plovdiv Opera, which sharpened her dramatic instincts now channeled into this speaking role.

Where audiences have met the show
The pairing of Emil Markov and Kerana has been greeted enthusiastically on the road — from club stages in Sofia like City Stage and Sofia Live Club to coastal dates where the curtain calls have stretched long. In March 2026, the production even reached Luxembourg (Sang a Klang, March 15, 2026), signaling its growing life beyond Bulgaria.

Why it lands
Vögel is a specialist in relationship comedies that start with a tidy arrangement and spiral into moral negotiation. The structure invites the audience to listen for subtext: the pauses, the deflections, the tiny power swaps that occur when money, loneliness and desire meet. With only two performers on stage, every look counts; the humor is bright, but the questions linger afterward.

If this sounds like your kind of night, you might also enjoy:

• The razor‑sharp misunderstandings and timing games of Idiotyt zvyni vinagi tri pyti.
• Relationship fireworks with a satirical bite in Otchayani sapruzi 2: Brakuvani.
• Another contemporary take on romance and negotiation in Bez garanciya.

Practical note: The production’s club and touring format means sightlines and proximity vary by venue, but it consistently plays best from close range — perfect for a two‑actor duel where micro‑reactions are half the story. Keep an eye on first‑Wednesday dates; that title is more than a hook — it’s the show’s ticking metronome.
