Райна Кацарова и българският народен (фолклорен) куклен театър
Raina Katsarova and the Bulgarian Folklore Puppet Theatre

Summary/Abstract: Raina Katsarova presented information about manifestations of folklore puppet theatre - the so-called custom “Lazar” as early as 1936 in London. The relations between the Bulgarian folklore puppet theatre and the folk culture of other ethnic groups were converted into a comparative method that she later tried to apply in her further research work. The book of the historian Max fon Boen was her principal source of information. She was among the founders of the Puppet Theatre at Slavianska Beseda, whereas before that she was an active participant in the first performance of the Bulgarian puppet theatre, founded by Atanas Donkov in 1924.
