Educational Concert Medea (October 28, 2018)
'Medea' is focusing on one of art’s most familiar plots – the plot from the Euripides' eponymous ancient Greek drama – and is seeking a modern interpretation of the human condition as presented by the play – the right to life, the process of choosing, the nature of love and the power of vengeance. The initiative brings together well-known names from the field of theatre as well as children from different communities in Plovdiv - Roma, Turkish, Jewish, Armenian, Bulgarian.

TRAINING WITH THEATER
The Medea Project aims to help children, through theater techniques, to communicate and find solutions to everyday issues, teach them how to resolve conflicts based on persistent psychological patterns of behavior. In the year 2018, the project evolved as a learning and child-centered project. At the end of June, the exhibition 'The Children of Medea - Deus ex machina or What is Antique Theater' brought together all the groups together and presented 82 drawings on the Central Square. The theater performance 'Medea' is scheduled to take place in the summer of 2019 at the Antique Theater. Dessislava Shpatova is the director of the show. There will be children from the communities and recognized Bulgarian artists such as Snezhina Petrova, Vladimir Penev.
