Bulgaria 4.2.3

In 2010, there was a draft proposal of the Performing Arts Law, which recognised the multiple forms of performing arts making up the theatre network in Bulgaria. Under this proposed bill, equal treatment was to be given to all theatrical organisations when competing for project funding. It also outlined the shared rights and responsibilities of the state and local authorities in development of theatrical activities in Bulgaria. The law was ultimately not adopted, and the theatre sector in Bulgaria continues to press а public debate for its adoption.
