The International Chamber Theatre Festival `The Black Box` is held every year in the town of Plovdiv – Bulgaria. It lasts for a week from 25th June to 30th of June.

The organizer of the festival is the `Black Box` Foundation, working in partnership with the Municipality of Plovdiv, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Municipality Institute `Old Plovdiv` and the Cultural Centre `Trakart`.

The exclusive format of the festival includes mono-performances and chamber plays both from Bulgaria and abroad.

Emancipated, receptive and ready to support challenging young artists, the festival is open to all forms of theatrical expression – from antique drama to experimental theatre.

Performances are held on the open stage set in the Hindlijan House – one of the most beautiful houses of the Bulgarian Revival Period, situated in the Old City of Plovdiv - the artistic heart of the town.
