We want to quickly let you know that we are carefully observing the current situation of the world concerning the spread of COVID-19.
Theater is about both structure and improvisation.. and that is also how we are trying to manage the situation.
We still haven’t postponed the 2020 edition of the festival in hope that we will all soon get over the pandemia. However, we will be flexible about the situation and let you know immediately if we take a conclusive decision about the dates of our event (which were planned between 9-15 October 2020). Which also means that the application process will be open for now without a deadline.

Therefore, the deadline for the selection process will also be extended.

Please, stay safe, stay at home as much as you can, be positive, wash your hands, have a sip of good wine, read a good book and BE HEALTHY!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We will be happy to help you:  festival@istfestbg.com
