Armēnijas Nacionālais leļļu teātris. Marieta Dovlatbekjana “Bukovskis”

➤ The performance guides the viewer through the twists and turns of writer Charles Bukowski's life – from a complicated childhood and family relationships to the events that shaped his personality. It is a true story about the longing for love and the battle with alcohol addiction that accompanied the writer throughout his life. The production reveals Bukowski not only as a "lover of a thousand women", but also as a man who searched for his one and only Linda. Based on documentary facts of his life and the author's most heartfelt poems, the performance reveals a journey that is both difficult and full of surprises. On stage, his inner "blue bird" comes to life – a symbol of restlessness and inspiration hiding within each of us, echoing Bukowski's harsh realization: "Find what you love and let it kill you."

➤ The Armenian National Puppet Theatre is one of the most prominent theatres in the South Caucasus region, which celebrated its 90th anniversary last year.
