Project Description
Modernisation, globalization and all those - actions that often are taken as enemies of traditions are also powerless for the strongest nations' roots. In Bulgaria, since Thracian times a ritual dance is still performed annually to scare away all evil spirits. Wooden masks, animal fur and large bells are the men’s protective armor during this wild night performance. This is an example of how the hope and search for good harvest, health, and happiness lie so deeply in people's minds that creates a bond for centuries.
