In Bulgaria, the marathoner Kras Georgiev will live for 17 days, severing any contact with the world, in a three-sided glass cage erected in front of the National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia, as part of the scientific experiment called “One-on-one with time in the heart of the city”.

Georgiev has nothing but a jogging track and a bed to sleep in in his 2.5-meter-high cube cage in front of the National Palace of Culture in Sofia.

Within the scope of the scientific experiment called “Encounter with Time in the Heart of the City,” experts will examine Georgiev’s health and psychological changes.

The main purpose of the experiment was identified as examining the obsessions of alienation and isolation in society after the Kovid-19 pandemic and the phobias that followed.
