The STATE PUPPET THEATRE in Stara Zagora and the Ministry of Culture, supported by Stara Zagora Municipality are delighted to launch an international Open Architectural Competition for a conceptual design of the EPAC - Experimental Puppetry Arts Centre at State Puppet Theatre – Stara Zagora.

A meeting point for people of deliberate creative motivation and potential, dynamic, unique and diverse creators. The new centre will aspire to offer opportunities to contemporary artists to grow their talent and create a wholesome space for the development of theatre across the breadth of the art of puppetry.
The competition is open to designers from across the world who are passionate about contemporary art and theatre and want to contribute to the design of an unorthodox, out-of-the-box building to be the home of the magic of theatre.
