With a lyrical-dramatic theatrical sketch about the burning love triangle between Prof. Boyan Penev and the poets Dora Gabe and Elisaveta Bagryana, the exhibition “Love is…” was opened today in the “Ananie Yavashov” house museum.
The narrator was the head of the “New and Latest History” department at the Regional History Museum in Razgrad and the director of the play was Prof. Rositsa Angelova PhD. She was helped by students from PGI “Rober Shuman”, their teacher Borislava Ivanova and the husband of Prof. Angelova Zhuliyan Georgiev /in the role of Boyan Penev/.
The found postcards included in the exhibition are from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are from the museum’s collection. But essential moments of the history of Razgrad are woven into the art space. Here are the poetry and letters of the artist and mayor of the city in the period 1934-1935 Dragan Danailov. During the opening, a passionate love poem was also sung by the graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin to his beloved Elenka.
Another highlight is the ornaments worn by Razgrad ladies in the past. And because the love between two people has a direct connection with the marriage between them, the exhibition presents the unique album that the people of Razgrad prepared for the wedding of the princely couple Ferdinand and Maria Luisa.
In the preparation and arrangement of the exhibition in the month of love and wine, the entire team of the “New and Latest History” department in RHM – Razgrad is involved: the initiator Prof. Dr. Rositsa Angelova, Viktor Kostadinov, Milena Marinova, the designer Mikhail Marinov, the team of Radio Razgrad – with lighting and sound, and the Theater and Music Center, which provided the costumes for the theatrical sketch.
The exhibition “Love is…” can be viewed until the end of March. According to the organizers, the elderly will have the opportunity to return to those days of excitement and trepidation, when you pour your soul with the ink on the cardboard of the card in recognition of the loved one. Young people will understand how their great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers communicated in times without modern technology. And the children – the children will learn what a postcard is and how it got from the sender to its recipient.
There was good luck for everyone with thoughts from wise people about the love in our lives and a glass of wine – as befits the month of love and wine.
