Vasil’s mini-project was an ingenious dual festival between Sofia and Novi Sad, thanks to the collaboration of musicians from the two cities: Dragon’s Fuel, and Beleva & Hajigrudev. The concerts took place in iconic venues that were not originally intended for live music performances. The unusual locations added an extra layer to the experience and helped direct attention to these urban spaces. Why build a bridge between Novi Sad and Sofia in particular? Vasil has his sustained relationships with musicians in both places, and he noticed that while he knows both cities and their spaces intimately, many Serbians and Bulgarians do not. This connection emerged not only between the two urban spaces, but also between their respective music genres. The project created new connections between the artists of the two nations who were inspired to broaden their musical horizons. Vasil has already been planning how they can ensure the sustainability of the project, and hopefully we will witness his keen eye for cross-border cooperation, iconic performance venues and support for emerging local artists. 11
