A festival celebrating femininity in all its forms will take place in the village of Vetren, Silistra, from today until Sunday. The festival's name, 'Sacrée Femme', was chosen by Bulgarian-French singer, violinist and actress Emanuela Kalcheva-Djaima, who is also the organiser of the event, the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reports.


According to Djaima, the festival was conceived as an inner journey and a space where participants can take part in inspiring artistic workshops to rediscover, heal and strengthen their feminine side, unleash their emotions and tap into their inner strength.


The programme includes creative workshops, puppet shows, reenactments of folk customs and concerts by Djaima and young folk singer Lina Topal.


Emanuela Kalcheva-Djaima graduated from the National Academy of Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia before moving to France. After nearly 30 years in Paris, she relocated to Cairo during the pandemic to teach music at an international school.
