The 9th edition of TheatAir will take place from 2nd to 5th of September 2022.

TheatAir is a festival for street arts – theatre, circus, music and other performances. It begins in 2012 as a module of the International Puppet Theatre Festival for chamber performances “Three are too many, two – not enough”. From then on it gathers in Plovdiv, Bulgaria some of the most interesting and renowned street artists. The festival consists of performances for children and adults, without limitation to the form and genre. The only condition is that your show can be performed outdoors.
The festival is non-competitive. It takes place every year in the begging of September and is an integral part of the cultural life of Plovdiv. TheatAir brings together interesting and provocative troupes from around the world and gives them the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful audience in our city.
