Come to celebrate together!
When first cosmonauts captured for the first time our planet from the outside, a new world was conceived – globally fragile and threatened by extinction, but endowed with the alternative of becoming what we have always been called to be, but we have never been . The alternative hope for our future, conceived in 68, after 9 months, was born and embodied in the bodies, in the souls and in the spirit of a whole generation – 69 – the first generation of the Earth – home, of the planet – global village – who had the chance to live without the millennial fetters of our ancestors, the first generation to bear in their blood the alternative of a future with a human face, given as a chance for all people without exception.
To recall the one – the human – the person Radosveta Krastanova of this incredible generation 1 half a century after her birth we will dive together in the spirit of the alternative culture and spirituality of freedom, personality, dignity and love we grew up with – the alternative horizonts in alternative music, poetry, play and a soul from the late 1960s to the present.
And everyone in the world is invited!
