“A Bleeding Wound” (1976) was the first of Boyan Papazov’s plays to be banned for expressing a different point of view to the evaluation of the April Uprising. Today the director Ivan Dobchev stages the text as a “liturgical act” that delves deep into Bulgaria’s national rememberance and collective psychology. It is a production that brings forth discussion by giving a rather different approach to this key historical event.
