The City of Stara Zogora will undergo a transformation with our innovative instrtument, evolving the existing Puppet Theatre into a dynamic hub. Performance areas and costume collections merge into a living display, choreographed for passersby through a rippling skin.

This skin, embracing the theatre and extending along General Gurko Street, varies in translucency, showcasing costumes, puppets, and occasional performances. The Archive, housed beneath the Main Hall, emerges into the living chasim, embodying the building’s continuous activity.

The flexible Main Hall extends towards the yard, integrating with the rippling skin fencing. An adapted old theatre hosts a new café/bar, enriching the complexes experience.
