The film is produced as part of project BG-RRP-11.020-0171-C01 – “The Humor of Bulgaria – History and Character of Bulgarian Comedy”, funded by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU instrument.
As part of the documentary film concept, interactive elements in the form of quizzes have been integrated, thematically linked to the genre of comedy and the traditions of Bulgarian theatrical art. These quizzes aim not only to enrich the audience’s perception of the content but also to actively engage viewers by transforming them from passive observers into participants in the process of exploring cultural heritage.
The questions are carefully designed to cover various aspects of Bulgarian cultural and theatrical history—from classical works and established playwrights to contemporary interpretations of the comedic genre. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of humor as a means of social critique, a reflection of society, and a form of intellectual expression.
Through the inclusion of these quizzes, theatre enthusiasts, pupils, students, and a wider audience are given the opportunity to test and expand their knowledge of Bulgarian history and culture, viewed through the lens of comedy and satire. The format encourages critical thinking, associative reasoning, and cultural awareness, while maintaining accessibility and an engaging, entertaining character.
In this way, the documentary film becomes a multi-layered cultural product that combines educational value with interactivity and a contemporary approach to presenting historical and artistic themes. The quizzes function as a natural extension of the narrative, deepening audience engagement and stimulating interest in Bulgarian theatrical tradition and the richness of the comedic genre.
