Свърши ли преходът за българския театър?
IS THE TRANSITION OVER FOR THE BULGARIAN THE ATRE?

Summary/Abstract: The article offers a general view over the new tendencies in Bulgarian theatre. It supposes that the years between 1989 (the beginning of the democratic changes) and 2007 (when Bulgaria became a member of Eu) set up a separate period with its own specificity . It influenced the whole cultural life, as well as the theatre which had important intellectual and spiritual role for the society during the whole 20 century . Today the socio-cultural situation is different: the theatre has artistic and political freedom, but it has to compete for the public with the cable TV, internet and show-business from the other hand, it is a challenge which helps the theatre to define its own language and aesthetics . The years of transition are interesting with the cultural mix of artistic tendencies and approaches: if the psychological theatre with the dominance of the director’s interpretation of the dramaturgical text was the mainstream in Bulgarian culture, the improvisational, anthropological, physical / dance, environmental and other types of theatre as alternative scenic forms appeared . During the last several years also the multimedia- and reality performances are the new artistic phenomena . But most the aesthetic discoveries happen predominantly in the non-repertory theatres which are concentrated in the capital. The paradox of the Bulgarian theatre today looks like that: the political change is over, but the real reformation of the theatre system in the country is about to begin .
