Do You Swear by the Children?

“Base X” presents “Do You Swear by the Children?”
She is a psychotherapist; he is a lawyer. They are a couple as much in love as they are superstitious. One evening, they swear to remain faithful to each other for ten years, for the sake of their children.
Time passes, and the end of this “term of fidelity” draws near. And with it comes the moment of truth—how heavy is it to say “I swear”?
As they prepare to cross this long-awaited milestone and demonstrate a clear conscience, morality, and propriety, doubt begins to show more and more in both of them. Bending morality in their own way, the couple enters a spiral of lies from which escape is nearly impossible.
Salomé Lelouch’s new play, “Do You Swear by the Children?”, takes us into situations that are as intractable as they are real. Because they are part of the reality of romantic relationships today. The lead roles are played by Vesela Babinova and Vladimir Zombori, who are a couple offstage as well. The cast is rounded out by Daniel Kukushev. The director is Chris Sharkov, and the set designer is Vanina Tsandeva.
Following the success of “Don’t Say That!” starring Teodora Dukhovnikova and Zahari Baharov, this is the second play by French author Salomé Lelouche to be staged in Bulgaria. The comedy captivates with its relevance and its sharp sense of humor. The text is lively, surprising, and intelligent, and the actors compete in an endless battle of small secrets and big lies.
