Reconstruction of an authentic Bulgarian wedding

The aim of this project is to acquaint people with the emotion, beauty, meaning and mystique of Bulgarian wedding. In the past, the wedding looked like a tangle of rituals, beliefs, spells. Every detail had the power to prophesy, to bless, to portends. With time passing and changes in the lifestyle the wedding also changes - it becomes less magical and most of those mystical rituals are changed or forgotten.

We believe that the genuine aspirations for health, love, luck, success has not changed and we are confident that nowadays there is still place for little "magic" from the past.

The project involved professional choreographers, dancers, musicians, organizers.
The total number of participants in the reconstruction is 17 people.
Duration - 30-40 minutes.
Venue – town of Koprivshtitza with the possibility of considering other suitable cities and locations.
The initial idea was to conduct reconstruction from May to September because normally it happens outdoors in order to present more authentic and realistic appearance. There is the possibility to modify and make it indoors during the colder part of the year in interest.

The show includes recreating the traditional Bulgarian wedding with authentic rituals, music, songs and costumes. Some of the rituals are "braiding the bride", "shaving of the bridegroom", "going to best men and maid of honor", "welcoming in brides house", "veiling", "farewell to the bride's family", "welcoming in grooms house"," unveiling" and others.
Each guest will be provided with a booklet with "libretto", a brief description of each ritual.

Number of viewers - according to the possibilities of the venue.
