Description

This is a limited-edition poster for my show at the Theater Row Theater, a collection of posters that originated both in Bulgaria and America.


I wanted the image to be both simple and personal. In my childhood, my favorite circus act was when the trainer puts her head into the lion’s mouth. I thought one had to be very brave to do this and somehow become connected with the beast.
