Notes:
The book is unique with the new ethnographic material it presents concerning a ritual that has thrilled a small circle of specialists for almost a century. Now in an expert fashion the audience is acquainted with the whole problem sphere of the living antiquity hiding in itself the magic of the Thracian Dionis. In the book the reader will find the Old Thracian belief in the ability of man to feel cosmic rhythms, a belief that lived through the milleniums to reach the present day in Bulgarian folk culture. Did the ritual link Man - Cosmos not give birth to the theatre in Europe? This is a question to be asked by anyone who comes across the Kouker without a mask.
