Summary/Abstract: The article highlights the new phenomena in acting practices, which require from actors real-time presence, skills to fit in a multimedia environment, opportunities to leave the space of the stage, etc. Trends in Bulgarian and European theatrical contexts are referred to. The basic issues brought up by the text are what a strategy and manner of acting does the so-called post-dramatic theatre require and whether the very word ‘play’ in regard to an actor is now able to describe the complexity of the acting figure and this figure’s functions in a performance. Realistic theatre and the theatre of real-life action are considered in opposition.
