after Gianni Rodari Dramatization and direction: Elitsa Petkova Scenography and puppets: Iva Gikova and Ivaylo Nikolov Music: Plamen Petkov Animation: Roxana Markova Multimedia: Teodor Kiryakov Photographer: Rad Dimitrov Gelsomino in the Land of Liars is a story about a boy growing up. Around the little Gelsomino, frightened by his own strength, as in a fairground carousel, an adventure whirlwind of incredible events and people spins. He finds friends, finds enemies, faces fears, gets into bitter battles. He's having the adventure of a lifetime. It all begins with an escape from home — an escape from oneself. But Gelsomino manages to reach the essence, to catch up with himself, and before our eyes he turns into a strong and brave boy. And his story will be told not by anyone, but by his own strong voice!
