NESTINARI

Whether nestinarstvo is an ancient fire cult or a divination ritual, whether it's accepted or rejected by the church, doesn't matter for art. Nestinarstvo is an inseparable part of Bulgarian roots. The power of collective purification – this is what concerns the artists from Burgas puppet theater, turning to the centuries-old Bulgarian tradition of walking on fire. This modern, large-scale and powerful visual physical performance takes us back to ourselves, to the connection with our souls and carries a message about the collective purification of the society we live in.
