Exciting Days

Visit the XVIII International Puppet Theatre Festival The Golden Dolphin

A festival wanted and waited for by the creators and the audience because it had never disappointed their hopes to see the newest, the best, the most interesting of what is made on both Bulgarian and worldwide puppet stage; to commensurate their own works with those of their colleagues in an exceptionally kind-hearted and supporting professional environment; to meet both new and old friends…

The Festival is realized with the financial support of Ministry of Culture, Culture Fund-Varna Municipality and National Culture Fund
