Transcript of The Bulgarian team of students and teachers will “design” the traditional character combining...
The Bulgarian team of students and teachers will “design” the traditional character combining images and human traits from characters taken from Radichkov’s works. Radichkov’s characters – their way of
thinking, behavior, even outer appearance - are nationally unique and universal at the same time. He attracts with his charming oddity and sincerity. Through his whole being he is telling us, “Be incredible!”, as he himself truly is. Be incredible, meaning simply be yourself.

“The human soul is an ocean; can you guess, dear reader,
what pulse is beating in the deeps of that ocean!
We can only stand by the shore and sing praise of it.
But when praising it, we are actually not praising the ocean,
we are praising just the visible foam of its waves.”
