KeywordsSummaryCondemned souls have always been Dimitar Dimov's element. Even in "Tyu Tyu" they are depicted with more mastery, more precisely and in detail than the heroes, but the bearers of the new morality. In the plays "Women with a Past" and "The Guilty" the images of people from the old world are also more successful and convincing. And in "Holiday in Arco Iris" the author takes on something new, which has not been posed as a central problem in his work so far. The main dramatic theme in Dimov's new play is exactly the opposite, contrasting to that of "Condemned Souls". Again the same reality: the events of the civil war in Spain, communists, anarchists, Francoists, Catholics; a woman - haughty and beautiful, born to experience a terrible love, which must open her eyes to the world; bullets, death, etc. In "Condemned Souls" Dimov has revealed a specific side of his fiction talent: to penetrate comprehensively and fully and at the same time with great effect into the spiritual depths of characters whose social and personal fate is devoid of prospects. He sees prospects only outside them - in social reality. Now, in the play "Rest in Arco Iris" the author will fight to save every more or less doomed soul. The events in Spain come to his aid. Centuries-old relationships are being destroyed. Soul layers are being shifted. A radical change is being introduced into people's lives and understandings. The plot material is truly rich and beneficial for creating a drama with a significant social plot, bright dramatic characters and modern lighting.
