🔥 Enter the world of KITCHEN, where every corner, hidden from the guests' view, holds its own heated story... ✨ Before the food reaches our table, the journey is long, the time is short and the tension is boiling. The immersive performance KITCHEN recreates the intense atmosphere and psychological tension in a professional kitchen before the food reaches our tables. 🌹 Once you've arrived in the world of KITCHEN, we'll take you beyond the confines of the stage into an alternative culinary experience in an unconventional location - the real kitchens of HRC Culinary Academy, Eastern Europe's leading culinary institute. The experience is limited to 10 brave visitors so you can lose yourself completely in the hot depths of the Kitchen. 👨‍🍳 We look forward to seeing you in the Kitchen.

Studio Karakashyan is a multi-disciplinary production company specializing in dance, film, and artist development, imprinting culture through the power of movement. Featuring a collective of artists and innovators working across disciplines internationally, the studio focuses on creative direction and production with an emphasis on movement and concept-driven storytelling. Founded in 2018 by director and choreographer Kosta Karakashyan and producer Todor Barganov, we specialize in multidisciplinary production and visual storytelling from concept to execution across live performance, film, digital, social, and immersive spaces. We are directors, producers, choreographers, filmmakers, composers, visual artists, photographers, and beyond, crossing disciplines and coming together to provoke inspiration, challenge the status quo and shape a better future. In addition to creating original and branded work, we empower and educate the next generation of artists to take charge of their careers. By leading artist development workshops, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to their creative practice and create a lasting impact in the cultures and communities we serve. Studio Karakashyan continues to produce and perform the multidisciplinary collaborative work of founder Kosta Karakashyan in public, virtual, and live performance spaces. Karakashyan's work across dance, film, and education investigates how to nurture empathy and tenderness in society. His work has been described as "an important voice for LGBTQ+ struggles in Chechnya and elsewhere". A two-time Bulgarian National Ballroom Champion, Karakashyan has performed and choreographed on Dancing with the Stars Vietnam and across Bulgaria, New York, Canada, Germany, Norway, Egypt, Vietnam, and Japan. His work has been featured by The Guardian, Elle Magazine, them, GLAAD, and Radio Free Europe. Our commissions include works for nontraditional sites, public spaces, theater, dance, film, fashion, and brands.
