Reneta Bakalova will stand under the spotlight to read her poems - the most difficult and most rewarding way to leave yourself to the words. To allow the communication to be between the heart and the word, without intermediaries.
An encounter with pure poetry, syncopated with short monologues awaits us. A conversation between the author and himself before an enlightened audience.
