This project explored a secretive spot in Skopje, located in the city centre within the scope of the Old Bazaar. Stefan and his partner, David Nikolovski created a one-evening festival drawing bridges between the established and the new. The visuals were accompanied by live music composed and conducted by Antonie Veskovski, who created a piece especially for the occasion, inspired by the meeting of old and new at Suli An. The visual branding was influenced by Macedonian traditional patterns that can be found on clothes, kafanas, a sense of living heritage. Along with strings and percussion the conductor, Antonie Veskovski introduced the sounds of the traditional woodwind Macedonian kaval while accompanying the visuals with live music. The themes and improvisations, a dialogue of instruments, genres and time periods produced what he called a “duality” of concepts constantly playing with one another. He emphasized the need for organizations like MOST to keep prioritizing such rare cultural events in Macedonia. 13
