This paper reconstructs a forgotten episode of Bulgarian-Slovene theatre and cultural relations. At the First Congress of South Slavic writers and newspaper commentators in the Belgrade Drama Theatre in November 1905, on the same evening were performed the one-act plays Zofka Kveder's Love and Petko Todorov's Strahil Terrible Rebel. Both authors are representatives of modernism, and although they did not meet at this forum (the Slovene delegation did not arrive), their works encountered each other on stage, engaging in serious and productive dialogue each other.
