The Sofia City Gallery is putting on display works by a Bulgarian artist from the early 20
th century who has fallen into oblivion. The exhibition “Pencho Georgiev: Between theatre and life” brings back to life the faces of people who have played different roles in life, but also innovative theatre costumes and stage sets.
Pencho Georgiev was born as the 20
th century set in, a century that was to bring disaster into his life, as his father was killed at Edirne during the Balkan Wars. Despite this tragedy, his mother brought up her three boys, and each graduated from university.
