EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by NIKOLAY DOYCHINOV, the vibrant and rich culture of Bulgaria comes to life during the International Festival of the Masquerade Games in Pernik. The festival, which took place on January 27th, 2019, showcases a mesmerizing display of traditional Bulgarian dancers known as "Kukeri". Adorned with multi-colored masks embellished with beads, ribbons, and woolen tassels, these dancers embody the spirit of celebration and tradition. One dancer stands out among them all - the main dancer who carries an important role in driving away sickness and evil spirits. Laden with bells that jingle harmoniously with every move they make, their swaying motion resembles a wheat spikelet heavy with grain. The three-day festival is a visual spectacle that immerses participants and spectators alike into Bulgaria's cultural heritage. It is a time when ancient traditions are kept alive through dance and music. The energy radiating from this photograph captures the essence of joyous festivities where generations come together to celebrate their roots. NIKOLAY DOYCHINOV's lens perfectly encapsulates not only the intricate details of each costume but also highlights the passion exuded by these performers. This image serves as a reminder that despite modernization sweeping across nations worldwide, preserving cultural customs remains vital for future generations to appreciate their origins.
