"The new Golemanov is here! He has take the Little City Theatre over and the intrigue is put together by Hristo Mutafchiev and Marius Kurkinski. His appearance is far from the image established over the years by actor Georgi Kaloyanchev. The current Golemanov at first is even sincere in his desire to help his fatherland. Gradually though his good intentions collapse one by one on his way to his own personal hell. Marius Kurkinski’s version begins with live images from the dramaturgy of the Bulgarian renaissance, goes through Comedia del Arte and the clownade, to end in tragedy. Ilka Zafirova which is supposed to be playing funny grandma Gitzka is in fact quite a sad sight as the revival of "Liberated Bulgaria", Georgi Danchov-Zografina’s lithography from 1879 – with a wooden sword, the coat-of-arms, a cross and a lion."

"Apart from the comedy, Kurkinski clearly sees the tragedy of Golemanov in the fall of the individual while attempting to be "a contemporary Bulgarian man who tries hard to be good, stand high, even higher and highest – beyond the skies…". (…) An excellent performance of vividly comic Hristo Mutafchiev. His Golemanov is at once funny and hideous. And to amplify the grotesque make-belief character of the environment into the quintessence of meaninglessness and the repetition of the same mistakes throughout Bulgarian history, Marius changes the signs. The Golemanov family suddenly replace the traditionally Bulgarian clothing of over 100 years ago with the masquerade attire of Comedia del Arte. (…) "
