It emerged in the context of European modernism, influencing various fields such as literature, visual arts, and theater. Key figures included Geo Milev and Vladimir Dimitrov, who sought to explore new ideas and techniques. This movement was marked by a focus on experimentation and the integration of different artistic styles. The Bulgarian avant-garde aimed to reflect the rapidly changing social and political landscape of the time, contributing to a broader dialogue within the European avant-garde scene.
