Brodnik + Cheren Shtarkel at Post Culture
A very special event will be held this Saturday at Post Culture. The concert is a natural sequel to the last live performance of UPYR, after which, unfortunately, we lost the bright star of Boro Brodnik forever. The new metamorphosis of our well-known beast returns to Plovdiv in combination with members of the post-metal beasts TRYSTH.
The young boys from Cheren Shtarkel joined the concert at the last possible moment.

Being Alyosha
"Being Alyosha" is an artistic experience that represents the "exchange of bodies" of the viewer with the Alyosha monument. To make the experience happen, viewers split into two groups and one watches in real-time with virtual reality headset the body of the monument, shot from a drone above its head, as if Alyosha was bending over and looking at his feet. During this time, the other viewers touch the ones with the headset in synchrony with the surface that the author moves at the base of the monument towards it, so that it’s as if it is still approaching Alyosha's stomach ... This project is based on several scientific illusions: an out-of-body experience, body swapping, and the already well-known rubber hand illusion. Participation only requires patience and desire, and it doesn’t matter if you love or hate the Alyosha monument because the aim of the project is its demythologization!
In good weather, the experience will be held every weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 4 pm at the top of Bunardzhika Hill and will last until November 10.

Cologne virtuosos
The name of the unusual German ensemble - Arccordion is a witty combination of Arc and Accordion. The violinists and the accordion player decided to play together a few years ago, finding that such a band was very attractive. The accordion is in full synchronization with the strachists, not only placing rhythmic accents and harmonizing with the other instruments, but also shining with their solo melodic performances. The Cologne virtuosos actively perform today, delighting the audience with their art, through their own joy of playing music.
