Sofia Underground Performance Art Festival was created in 1997 by critic and curator Ruen Ruenov (1958-2011) as a series of performances developing in a long happening in the vaults of the National Palace of Culture.

Over time, Sofia Underground has transformed into an international forum that provides an opportunity to explore different aspects of performance art, emphasizing the importance of free expression and experimentation. An event providing space for dialogue and discussion that encourages diversity and innovation in performance art.

Live art, the art of the moment, which is globally recognized as an important tool for expressing different ideas and challenging stereotypes and prejudices.

This forum is a place where artists can express themselves freely and create meaningful and socially engaged projects that impact society and provoke thought. Participants share ideas, get inspiration from each other, and collaborate together on projects. In this sense, Sofia Underground becomes a catalyst for cultural diversity in the country and a unique platform for the expression of individuality through performance art. It brings together people from different cultures, ethnicities and positions to share their passion for creativity and create unique experiences where space, audience and artists become part of a whole.
