The Roosters Formation – 20 years of history, dreams and inspiration The "Petlite" formation was created in 2006 in the former "Alexander Georgiev - Kodjakafaliyata" Children's Home in Burgas by its former graduate Georgi Dimitrov, who is still the leader of the group today. At first, only children living in the home participated in the formation. Gradually, the group grew and children from families joined it. The main idea is that through art, children can find their way, develop their talents and more easily build connections and integration into society. Over the years, "The Roosters" have performed over 300 solo performances and have worked with a number of popular Bulgarian artists. In 2009, Georgi Dimitrov published the book "To Touch the Dream", in which he tells his personal story - how he managed to preserve himself, build his life and family, about his meetings with different people, the difficulties, the successes and everything that led him to the creation and development of "The Roosters". The new spectacle – the story of the "Father of Burgas" This year, "The Roosters" are coming out with their latest performance, dedicated to one of the most significant and noble personalities in the history of Burgas - Alexander Georgiev - Kodjakafaliyata, known as the "Father of Burgas". His story begins far from wealth and fame. As a child, he lived in the village of Zidarovo, Burgas region. He grew up as a village boy, lost his father and was not given the opportunity to attend school. Years later, together with his brothers, he built one of the largest businesses in Burgas and became an extremely wealthy man. But the true wealth of Kodjakafaliyata is not in what he owns, but in what he gives. Throughout his life, he never stopped helping people in need and donating funds and property to institutions, churches, and municipalities. Despite his enormous wealth, he lived modestly – in his small room, with his dog, without showing off his possessions. Before his death, he donated land to poor people who did not have a home and the opportunity to build one. He donated funds and property to create a home for children of soldiers, where they could be raised and educated. He supported churches, communities and people in need and left behind an example of a person who understood that the meaning of wealth is to be shared. The Message With this performance, "The Roosters" celebrate 20 years since their creation, but they also send a much more important message. In the hectic everyday life, in which material things often take center stage, the show brings us back to simple human values - kindness, empathy, mercy, humanity and willingness to help others. The story of Alexander Georgiev - Kodjakafaliyata reminds us that sometimes the greatest wealth is not what we have, but what we can give. "The Roosters" want to remind every viewer that small things, kind gestures, and human closeness are more valuable than hectic time and material possessions. Special guests Actor Yordan Sirakov and singer Kristina Doncheva will take special part in the performance. Organizer: Association "PETLITE" EOOD
