PIERROT 2025: Open Call for Participation - Scenography Workshop “Invisible to the Eye”

Open Call for Participation: Scenography Workshop “Invisible to the Eye”
15–22 September 2025 | Public Showcase: 23 September | Puppet Theatre Stara Zagora – Courtyard

Puppet Theatre Stara Zagora announces an open call for the stage design workshop “Invisible to the Eye”, led by visual artist and scenographer Marieta Golomehova, known for her bold and experimental work in contemporary theatre.

The workshop invites young artists to create interactive installations that explore invisible worlds – those that cannot be seen with the naked eye but are sensed through the inner vision of the creator.

“Our task as artists is not to offer scientific explanations, but to share the worlds we perceive through the lens of our inner vision. These interactive installations will allow audiences to experience and touch the INVISIBLE alongside us.”
— Marieta Golomehova
Who can apply?
The call is open to young stage designers and visual artists interested in working with space, material, and perception in an experimental, open-air setting.
