The festival, held every January in the village of Kosharevo, is known as "Surva" and is a mixture of Christian and pagan rituals that can be traced back to Thracian times. Some of the dancers, known as Survakars, or kukers (mummers), wear hand-made wooden masks decorated with feathers, which can be up to two metres high. The loud clanging of the bells on their belts is believed to ward off evil and diseases. During the two-day festival, the village, 50 km west of the capital Sofia, is brimming with life as extended families gather to greet the Survakars and offer them traditional dishes. Determined to pass the tradition on, he makes masks and outfits not only for himself, but for his young children too.

A venit la hotelul unde eram cazați și a bătut la ușă. Au fost și mulți șacali care s-au folosit de el, a fost greșeala lui, au alungat pe prietenii adevărați”, a mai mărturisit Stoicikov.
