Antistatic International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance

Tickets are already in sale at discounted price of 10 BGN

From 09th to 21st of May a committed and active, yet non-political election campaign will be held in Sofia: the 12th edition of Antistatic International Festival for Contemporary Dance and Performance.

A vote "FOR" art as a dimension not merely knowing well the past and understanding the lines of the present but as one that can and does create a better future.

At the day of each performance the price will be 15 BGN at the box office of the National Palace of Culture.

On 9th of May at 7 PM Antistatic kicks off at KICK'S Bar with the premiere of vol. 1 of the brand new MAGAZINE FOR DANCE - the only annual printed edition in Bulgaria, dedicated entirely to presenting processes, personalities, events and ideas from the world of classical to contemporary dance and dance culture. The opening entrance-free concert of burning Romanian synth-pop band KARPOV NOT KASPAROV begins at 9 PM at the same place.
