Hello dear fellows,
it was a long, meaningful and very fun summer. We visited 16 small settlements in Bulgaria, met thousands of people and everywhere we were greeted with a smile and a good mood. We thank everyone who made this festival possible – artists, organizers, hosts, sponsors, NF “Culture” and of course to you, our audience. It was a unique pleasure for us to play, work and laugh together. We start preparing the festival for next summer, and you follow what’s happening at ours Facebook and web pages.

“On the way to Tryavna from Gabrovo there is a turnoff with the inscription” Draganchetata village – 0.5 “. The road becomes curly and Balkan, and the number 0.5 sounds in your head as a measurement of the distance between you and the first star. At a high point Emo, the dog Nora and Momchil, the youngest of the sons, greet us proudly. He is painted with some paint on his face and looks like a hero from a fantastic epic about space. Small theatre company is not small at all. I have the audacity in the middle of the summer to travel specially beyond Shipka Pass to interview Emo while Desi is at a class meeting in Stara Zagora and Joro and Silvia represent the company in the Kazanlak area. The names are small and the horizon in front of the house is bright…”
Thus began the interview that Emo gave to Katerina Georgieva for “Series of Portraits” of “KuklArt” magazine. We share it with you and warmly thank Katerina for the beautiful text she created.

Each child will have the opportunity to create their own character with unique shape and capabilities.

Everyone carries a spark of creativity in yourself. Unfortunately, in the hectic everyday life we often forget about the creator in us and leave routine to lead us. That is why we created our “Workshop for creative awakening”. Its main purpose is reinventing us as the creative beings and increasing our creative abilities.
