This year's edition of the musical forum "Burgas and the Sea" will be marked by an exceptional scenographic approach, developed by local artist Krasimir Marchev. His concept transforms the stage space into a light installation resembling a ship that carries the audience through multisensory artistic worlds.
Marchev - an established visual artist with a rich professional biography - possesses remarkable experience in various artistic directions. His creative trajectory encompasses scenography, photography, video art, and dance performance, while simultaneously participating in significant national cultural events.
Marchev's international recognition is supported by an impressive episode in 2013, when world-famous pop icon Madonna appreciated his project for the Burgas bridge. She publicly commented on his work on the Art For Freedom platform, emphasizing the metaphorical message of freedom.
For another year, he develops a unique visual environment for each musical performance, integrating video animations, lighting solutions, and compositional elements that correspond with the emotional message of the musical works.
His creative signature is distinguished by a precise balance between aesthetic modernity and a deeply human message. Stemming from his strong emotional connection to his native Burgas, Marchev views visual art as a means of communication capable of transporting viewers through unexpected emotional landscapes.
His concept this year demonstrates an understanding that stage space can be alive, dynamic, and intellectually provocative. His vision transforms the stage into a breathing organism that transcends its physical dimensions and tells a story worthy of a city with a rich history and unlimited dreams.
