BSA Special Feature: Kukeri/ A Bulgarian Dance Tradition at Everyday Icons
And you thought it all came from Nick Cave, didn’t you? Here we are, confronted with the form. This piece reveals the sublimely surreal essence of humans and magicians and the spirit of creativity versus the evil spirits.
“Once a year, the Bulgarian tradition of Kukeri unites a small village as residents wear intricate masks and costumes and dance at night. Killian Lassablière chronicles the practice in his short documentary.”
