From a complex aesthetic perspective, the author examines Bulgarian theater as a sociocultural phenomenon in its complex transition to artistic and professional empowerment. The specific national characteristics in the self-construction of Bulgarian theater are revealed through the restoration of the overall image of theatrical practice—the evolution of dramaturgical forms and genres, views on the artistic image and analysis of the actor's presence, problems of directing, scenography, and criticism. Equally insightful, the book creates a multifaceted picture of the theatrical process in the formation of our spiritual life with impressive consistency.
