Theatre Mimart, one of the first alternative theatres in former Yugoslavia, marks its thirty-fifth anniversary, and its thirty-five years of continuous (re)search for the meaning of the contemporary art and the possibilities of performance as a means of communication and change. Nela Antonović, the founder, manager and director of Theatre Mimart, as well as numerous members of Theatre Mimart, have taken part in Polyphony since the very first year. Through workshops, performing events, and a theatre performance Theatre Magic, Theatre Mimart presented itself to the Plovdiv audience participating in the program “Island Magic”, within the City of Plovdiv Foundation, ECoC Plovdiv 2019, Bulgaria. Theatre Magic brings to Bitef Polyphony new codes through exploration of elements of archetypal stories, events, through past, presence and future.
