16th INTERNATIONAL THEATRE FESTIVAL “VARNA SUMMER”
2-12 June 2008
16th ITF “Varna Summer” goes on with the tradition of presenting some of the most interesting and original Bulgarian productions from the current season, alongside with specially invited productions from abroad. At the same time new initiatives are being launched this year: the grouping of the mobile Bulgarian productions in a special module “Showcase” (realized in partnership with “Art Office” Foundation); hosting of the SEAS Coastal program – part of the Black/North SEAS platform, which aims at making connections between different arts and social contexts in the countries along the North and Black Seas (SEAS is an initiative of Intercult, Sweden, supported by the European comission); joining in the discussion sessions “Open Space” (part of British Council’s project “Creative Collaboration” with partnerships of 17 European countries).
