Summary/Abstract: Neshka Robeva unexpectedly appeared as a producer on the stage of Bulgarian show business (as far as it really re-charges itself with new forms and realizes itself in the contemporary slippery delineations of our national pop culture) and even with her first non-standard spectacle “Two Worlds” she caused a peculiar shock in the already existing ideas of popular stage dancing art and in the value system of specialists and public. “Two Worlds” is unique both as an ideological conception and as a genre formula of contemporary national dancing theatre. Having a plot connected with ancient mythological legends and pagan cult beliefs, the spectacle throws a bridge to the present - with the topical problems of the inevitable devaluation of the national spiritual values and of the ethnic self-consciousness in the epoch of total globalization. The original stage combination of stylized dances on folklore (all-Balkan) song-instrumental basis with the theatrical grace of calisthenics is a surprising Bulgarian contribution to the aesthetics of modern European dancing theatre.
