THEATRICAL PROGRAM

IFCTP „Zero gravity“ has no competetive character.

The Organizing Committee provides a prize in the amount of 1000 BGN for stimulating development, which is awarded by the team of experts.

In the program of NIATF „Zvezden prah“ there were selected theatrical plays by Bulgarian groups, and performances of theatrical groups from Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Serbia, Turkey, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Georgia and France.

As the main festival intention is to search, highlight and present contemporary theater and performance. Overcoming the linguistic barriers and the contemporary cultural politics, searching for a change in social attitudes. One of the main goals is to support education and development within the festival. We emphasize on the mixed models of work in the modern theatre, conformable to the most contemporary, vanguard and provocative international theatrical practices. They are expressed in searching of the theatrical performance like a final product and we chose applying a new festival model – IFCTP „Zero gravity“.
