The Winter's Tale, Sfumato Theatre Laboratory

/ Colibrì Youth and Children Theatre/

The Winter's Tale       
Performed in Bulgarian
Colibrì Youth and Children Theatre, Craiova, Romania
April 18 & 20, 2016

Director Margarita Mladenova, co-founder of Sfumato, decided to stage her version of The Winter’s Tale in a snow-white setting; scenes and costumes are therefore signs of the ice cold life after humans lose love. As she stated, The Winter's Tale "is about a human who is lost and destroys his own life and the life of his closest kin." The sets suggest the characters are being treated in a sort of hospital's ward or, worse, they are already in a mortuary room.
