Iconic paintings and sculptures by Bulgarian artists from the permanent exhibition of Kvadrat 500 National gallery and massive doses of contemporary dance and digital technology bring together 20 Bulgarian choreographers of different generations and artistic background in an unforgettable dance experience. They will create short performing miniatures, filmed by the team of the director and choreographer Rosen Mihailov. Each video is an exciting original interpretation and emotion expressed in the eyes of the choreographer.
