Start of the Francophone week in Plovdiv with the exhibition "Moliere without borders"
The start of the Francophone week in Plovdiv will be given on June 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Plovdiv Drama Theatre with the official opening of the poster exhibition "Moliere without borders" on the occasion of 30 years of Bulgaria's full membership in the International Organization of Francophonie. The collection is created by the International Triennial of Stage Poster - Sofia, and brings together over 35 Bulgarian and foreign posters. Some of them are created specifically for this project, and others are part of the rich fund of the Triennial. Works by some of the most influential Bulgarian and foreign masters of the poster art are included, such as: Asen Stareishinski, Stefan Despodov, Georgi Yankov (Bulgaria), Stefan Bundi (Switzerland), Tomasz Boguslawski and Piotr Depta (Poland), Vladimir Terentiev and Yuri Toreev (Belarus) and others.
The exhibition "Molière without Borders" is an open project that grows over time. The initiative started back in 2017 and was originally dedicated to the 395th anniversary of the birth of the French playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Moliere, who became the personification of the French language. In 2022, on the 400th anniversary of his birth, the International Triennial of Stage Poster - Sofia in partnership with the State Institute for Cultural, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French Institute created the project "Moliere without borders", dedicated to the work of the great playwright and master of the comedy.
