The show begins

I'm trying to remember when my fascination with urban sculptures dates back. Some time ago, when I traveled to places where a fortress and a church were the main and most important points in a settlement, I visited and photographed, of course, mainly them. If by chance, by the way, I came across some "street ornament", a fruit of human imagination and creativity, I photographed it too.

But in recent years it has been different. I specifically look for points named "sculpture" or "monument" on the map and immediately mark them for a visit, along with the architectural monuments that also attract and impress me.

Then I drag my boyfriend there, where he has to let me enjoy the creation as much as I need. And since this has been repeated in recent years, he is already looking for and marking such points on the map himself, because he knows that I am interested in them. 😄

In short, even though people only use a micro portion of their brain, that brain still creates, not only is it potentially capable, but it creates and has always created impressive things, and that's what has always fascinated me and I've tried to touched it, to visit it and look at it, to take pictures, and then to ask myself the questions to which there is no answer.

(By the way, just last night I stumbled upon a show that gave kind of an answer to why people only use so little of their brains, but it's a conspiracy theory that, like any conspiracy theory, is pretty sad.)

But let's concentrate on the present and what I'm showing you right now.

As for many other important things, there is no information on the Internet about this impressive plastic composition, including three figures of unrealistically large sizes.

The only thing I managed to dig up is the name of the work - "The performance begins" and the author - Nikola Stanchev.
No date, no description.

Perhaps, on the one hand, the fact that it is located in front of the opera house in Burgas (Bulgaria) gives an explanation and description of the object. But still, I'd love to know more. For example - how did the idea for this work arise, why exactly these three figures, why they are positioned like that, why in such sizes, etc.

The sculptures look rather unmaintained (which is quite normal for Bulgaria) and this may suggest that the creation was created a long time ago. But even that cannot be certain.

However, this sculptural group, seen by chance on the Internet, was the reason I visited this city a few years ago, almost for the first time in my life, and awakened my desire to return there again and again.

	Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|
