"Tonight, we will try to play our most challenging role – that of conspirators. Conspirators in the name of the sacred cause of the Apostle of Freedom. To this day, no one has succeeded, and we are unlikely to either. Because each of us, each of you, every Bulgarian carries this man within themselves, and no matter what we show you, you will say: 'No, that’s not it!' But who is he, really? There is no more famous yet simultaneously more unknown figure in our history. No, this is not a verbal paradox. Because truly – what do we know about Levski?" – this is how Stefan Tsanev’s play begins, structured on the principle of "theater within theater."
Watch "The Last Supper of Deacon Levski," where the Deacon confesses to himself, and try to find answers to the questions about betrayal, ideals, and the price of freedom.
