For the 51st time, the Ikar Performing Arts Awards will be presented at an official ceremony at the Ivan Vazov National Theatre in Sofia on 27 March - World Theatre Day.


The theme of IKAR 2025 is 'PARTY Coalition' - a reflection of the political turbulence and the aspirations of young people in theatre. With a blend of irony and seriousness, the stage will once again transform the ordinary into dreams and a play of realities. All proceeds from ticket sales for the ceremony will go to the Union of Bulgarian Artists' Health Fund, which supports artists in need of life-saving surgery.


World Theatre Day will also be celebrated with various events across the country. In Plovdiv, for instance, artists are organizing a festive theatre procession. The meeting point will be in the courtyard of the Plovdiv Drama Theatre at 11am. From there, the procession will proceed along the route: Plovdiv Municipality - Central Square - Main Street - Theatre Square. The final stop will be a concert The Singing Artists of Plovdiv.
