Silviya Stanoeva takes on the role of Miranda in “Magic for the Tempest” in Rome

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on," Shakespeare wrote. It is precisely along this fragile boundary between dream and reality, between magic and truth, that the theatrical production “Magic for the Tempest” (based on Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”) unfolds. Directed by Viviana di Bert, it is original and energetic and keeps the audience constantly engaged. "Since September 15, the production has been part of the repertoire at Teatro Tordinona in Rome - a stage where Shakespeare’s world continues to connect with contemporary audiences in a vivid, immediate, and impactful way," Veneta Nenkova, head of Parallel 43 Association in Rome, told Radio Bulgaria.

The role of Miranda is played by Bulgarian actress and playwright Silviya Stanoeva - an artist whose name has been associated with terms like "theatrical discovery" and "undeniable talent" since her student days. Early in her professional career, she attracted critical attention and earned acclaim for her striking stage presence.

Together with actor Ivo Zhelev, Stanoeva won the Ikar Award for Best Debut for her role in Kasiel Noah Asher’s production „Claire/ Madame/ Solange“. For the same role she was also nominated for the Stoyan Kambarev Foundation Award, marking further recognition of her powerful presence early in her professional career.

Her acting talent has also gained recognition outside Bulgaria. For her roles in the productions „Julius Caesar“ and „Nirvana“, Silviya Stanoeva received an award for outstanding acting presence at the GATS Theatre Festival in China.

Her artistic journey continues in Rome, where in recent years Silviya Stanoeva has successfully found a place within the Italian capital's diverse theater scene. Her participation in “Magic for the Tempest” marks yet another encounter between Bulgarian artistic talent and the international stage, serving as a bridge between different cultures and theatrical traditions.
