“Once You Cross the Ocean” is a flight from Bulgaria to New York on which six people are packed into one body. What is it like to immigrate? How do you recreate your culture in another country? What image would you like people to have of your homeland abroad?

In this one-person documentary performance, Bulgarian theater-maker and Fulbright scholar Martina Novakova uses verbatim theater - the exact recreation of the words and gestures of interviewees - to bring to life the real stories of Bulgarian artists based in New York. "Once You Cross the Ocean" investigates how we become translators of our own culture in a foreign sociocultural context and how we carry our experienced territories in our bodies.

“Веднъж прекосиш ли океана” е полет от България до Ню Йорк, на който шестима души пътуват в едно тяло.
Какво е да емигрираш? Как пресъздаваме културата си в чужда страна? Каква представа бихме искали хората да имат за родината ни в чужбина?
В този документален моноспектакъл, Мартина Новакова - театрален режисьор и "Фулбрайт" стипендиант - използва техниката на вербатим театъра, за да въплъти истинските истории на българските артисти, живеещи в Ню Йорк. „Веднъж прекосиш ли океана“ ни поставя в ролята на преводачи на собствената си култура в чужд социокултурен контекст и на физически носители на страната си.

Assistant director: Ryan Howland
Аssitant producers: Yuqing Zhao, Cassidy Kaye
Graphic design: Alexandra Nikolova

Неслучайно Борислав Чакринов, директор на драматичния театър „Адриана Будевска“ в Бургас, казва; „Женитба по обяви“ е една сериозна комедия“. В нея по вълшебен начин се преплитат смях, сълзи и приключения, които са сътворени от много искрени герои. Автор на пиесата е Миро Гавран.
Актьорът Валентин Танев е и режисьор на постановката.
