This year the International Puppet Theatre Festival of Plovdiv passes to adulthood. The 18th edition of Bulgaria’s most famous festival of this kind promises to be full of colours and excitement. Three are too many, Two not enough! say the artists behind the project run by the State Puppet Theatre of Plovdiv. Using this motto as a title, the festival offers 13 entertaining shows in five days, from 3 to 7 of September. What a wonderful excuse to spend a week in beautiful Plovdiv!

Hitar Petar, by the Ariel TheatrePlovdiv’s puppet theatre was founded back in 1946, as a repertory theatre, financed by the Ministry of Culture and supported by the Municipality and is praised with the First Degree Award “Cyril and Methodias”. In its 63 years of life, the theatre has staged more than 300 productions that were performed before tens of thousands of audience in Bulgaria and 40 countries where it has been touring.
