BULGARIA! REVOLT! Is a new folk-rock musical epic co-created by director Elizabeth Dinkova, playwright Miranda Rose Hall and composer Michael Costagliola. A fantasia based on real historical events, this musical begins in 1925, with the jaded Bulgarian poet Geo Milev on the eve of his disappearance; he has written a poem to commemorate a failed peasant revolution and his peoples deaths at the hand of the government, but what is a poem good for? When the Devil bursts into his home and tempts him to surrender the poem, the poet and his wife, the idealistic actress Mila, join this mischievous master of ceremonies on a wild ride through a Bulgarian village on the eve of an uprising and an American meat factory on the brink of unionizing to ask: can an artistic act have political significance? Can revolution heal a destitute reality, or is always doomed to end in bloodshed and corruption?
