Кратко описание

In the early 1990s Bulgaria saw a proliferation of small shops and kiosks, as patches of pedestrian space were channelled into private hands. Today, many of these structures have been largely obliterated by subsequent transfers of ownership. Four mimes bring back to life the invisible shops by reenacting the rituals of market exchange that were once part of the everyday life of the place. The title "Ruin Is the Destination Toward Which All Men Rush" is a quote from the book "Tragedy of the Commons" by biologist Garrett Hardin, which over the past several decades has been used in defence of neoliberal policies aimed at privatizing state-owned assets.
