Macedonian Cultural Center in Sofia hosts event on Gjorce Petrov

The Macedonian Cultural and Information Center in Sofia is hosting an event titled ‘The Darkness of Self-Destruction’ to commemorate the historical assassination of Gjorce Petrov. The event focuses on the dramatic works of Kole Chasule, specifically his play ‘Crnila’ (Darkness), which uses Petrov’s death to explore ideological conflicts and the fragmentation of the Macedonian revolutionary movement.

‘Crnila’ is part of a dramatic cycle by Chasule that includes the plays ‘Sud’ (Judgment) and ‘Zhitolub’. These works examine significant moments in early 20th-century Macedonian political history, including the events preceding the Smiljevski Congress in 1903 and the period leading up to the Balkan Wars. Through these plays, Chasule examines political choices, betrayals, and the preservation of national and linguistic identity.
