Hello from me Betty and the city where for first time an electric bulb lit in Bulgaria.
Here at the end of 10th and the beginning of 11th c. the feudal lord Krakra used to live.
He defends the Pernik fortress from the Byzantines.
The city of Pernik is known as the city of the black gold.
The first coal mine in Bulgaria is opened here.
And here is the only mining museum on the Balkans.
Each January at the end of the month the Surva festival is held
where kukeri scare away the evil spirits and mark the beginning of the spring.
The costumes of the kukeri are two types.
Some of them are made of leather and the others of cut rags.
Here next to me there is an original participant,
very scary.
Betty: Where are the eyes?
Kuker: On the head.
Betty: Where?
Kuker: Here up.
Betty: Here are the eyes.
Since September 2015 the Surva festival is listed in the UNESCO cultural historical heritage,
together with the Bistritsa grandmas, the Chiprovtsi carpets and the Nestinar tradition (fire dance).
In some of the villages there is a ritual called Bear
Here next to me there is one, now we will fight for health.
They took me.
Another part of the participants are not with leather masks
but are painted, with a make-up, and they are called Survakari
The kukeri masks have wooden construction
and are glued with feathers, skin, cloth and sequins.
The aim is to be the most scary and to scare away the evil.
This mask, in which I am, is from the village of Kosharevo.
and I think it weighs about 15-20 kg. I do not know if I will manage to lift it up.
It works.
Next to me is the group from the village of Kalchevo, Yambol province.
and this is the bride, the leader of the group.
B: Is it obligatory the bride to be a man?
Kuker: Yes, it is. The group is only of men.
B: And why the bride leads the group?
Kuker: Well as it is in life.
B: As in life the woman leads.
K: The man is the head, the woman is neck. Wherever the woman turns, there goes the man too.
B: I remember an anecdote. Do you know how they propose in Pernik?
The man asks the woman: Will you wash my VW Golf for a lifetime?
We will see if I will get it done here and if there will be any proposals today.
Kuker: Likewise with us. Only without the Golf.
Each group, which participates in Surva, plays its program on the square in front of a jury.
It evaluates at the end who will win the golden, the silver and the bronze mask. And who represents the tradition best.
Betty: How much is inside?
Survakar: Secret.
Betty: 100 thousands.
Survakar: Yes
B: If I win it, I will travel round the world, it is clear.
S: The world? With whom? :)
B: Well with the one who is worth it. :)
Betty: Watch out for the suitcase.
B: With what are you keeping warm, with rakia or wine?
With wine.
Betty: Can I try?
Thanks!
B: Hmm it is good. Red. :) K: Of course that it is good. :)
So we are drinking wine but the Pernik Bayles is boza with rakia, keep it in mind.
Okay, I wish you luck.
For good health.
Betty: I have no money.
Promotion.
B: Where are you from? S: from Blagoevgrad.
B: Okay, you will clean my shoes.
Survakar: As I taught you.
Betty: Is he cleaning well? S: Yes
S: Give me the other one, give me the other one.
S: Clean little bit my Booticeli. B: Your booticeli are very nice. :)
They are shining, shining.
B: Thanks, live a long and healthy life.
S: No problem :)
B: And hopefully you get a mask, to win a prize.
Survakars: Hopefully. Hopefully.
I am going to change to participate in Surva with the group from the village of Domlyan.
