La Compagnie Malabar - in Sofia!
Thursday, January 4th, 2007After my first (and rather sad) post from this morning, I decided to write about something more cheerful - the passing of the famous Compagnie Malabar via Sofia:-)
Now I realise, it’s a pity we didn’t know anything about it before. Here’s the story:
January 1st, 2007, was a very calm day. A few hours ago Bulgaria was officially accepted as a member of the EU. A special lightshow at exactly 12:00 am this day was visible all over the capital. So, after New Year’s eve which came with lots of noise & light, me and my wife took a good sleep till noon, and then deciced to walk around the city a little.
At around 5 p.m., we were on Vitosha street, when suddenly we felt some unusual animation in front of us. There were lots of people coming and going and reaching for their digital cameras. The trams around stopped.
As we continued to walk and draw closer to the possible center of the event, the crowd densed. And then… Some strange people in white and with scary masks on their faces appeared before our eyes.
