The five different points of view of people engaged in critical reflection and theatre research reaffirm the importance of the Sfumato phenomenon and attempt to put it both into the context of the history of Bulgarian theatre and among the world theatre studies.

A publication of Via Fest Foundation and Homo Ludens Foundation.

The booklet contains papers and discussion transcript from the theoretical conference held within the framework of Varna Summer International Theatre Festival 2017. The cultural situation we are living in, and the very theatrical practice offer us a mosaic of different types of dramaturgies as well as all sorts of ways of unfolding them on stage. Today, the stage does not only utter, visualize or interpret the text for theatre but also becomes a generator of new dramaturgical ideas and approaches.

The publication is a joint initiative of Varna Summer International Theatre Festival and Homo Ludens Foundation.

Prof. Nikolay Iordanov’s book “Theatre in Bulgaria 1989–2015” describes the development of contemporary Bulgarian theatre. The research is based on the drama and performance theory, on historical analysis and up-to-date critical reflection. At the same time it aims to stick to the empirics of theatrical facts and the archived memory for them. The artistic phenomena and individual artists are projected onto the socio-cultural dynamics of the preceding years. The conclusions and assessments are made in view of the specific situation and also of the processes in the European and world theatre.

The monograph is co-published by the Institute of Art Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Homo Ludens Foundation.

The collection is the outcome of a conference held within the framework of Varna Summer International Theatre Festival 2011. It presents the points of view of Bulgarian theatre researchers and festival guests to the overall topic. The texts are grouped around three thematic fields: Bulgarian playwriting, performance strategies, theatre and audience.
