Системата на Станиславски и социалистическият реализъм
Stanislavski’s system and Socialist Realism

Summary/Abstract: The article is part of a study on Bulgarian theatre under socialism. It focuses on the imposition of the doctrine of Socialist Realism as an official art style in theatrical productions. Using documents, the paper seeks to establish when and how this has happened. It presents also the tenets of Socialist Realism. When Socialist Realism was imposed onto theatrical productions, this created a need for certain methods providing specific instructions not only for casts and directors, but also for stagings as a whole. Stanislavski’s system proved to be the right method. The article traces how Stanislavski’s system has been presented and imposed on Bulgarian theatre. The paper arrives at the conclusion that communist authorities used a simplified, expanded, and ideologically interpreted version of Stanislavski’s work in order to establish Socialist Realism as the only acceptable method of staging.
