Events с Katya Ivanova

Katya Ivanova is a young Bulgarian actress who began to stand out on the theater scene while still a student, and her student roles already give an idea of her range. One of her first more visible student roles is Nastya in „The Lower Depths“ by Maxim Gorky — a production directed by Anton Ugrinov at NATFIZ. This participation brings her not only training experience but also visibility among audiences who follow young actors. 

After graduating or towards the end of her studies, Katya takes part in professional productions. Her greatest public recognition to date comes with the play „Remove from Friends“ by Steven Moffat, directed by Valentin Ganev — an Artvent production in 2023. In this comedy, Katya plays the role of Alex, part of an ensemble that includes Maria Sapundzhieva, Vladimir Zombori, Aneliya Lutsinova and Deyan Angelov. The production combines comedic situations, conflicts between the characters, dynamism, and a lot of humor.

On the website of Drama Theatre „Nikola Vaptsarov“ in Blagoevgrad, Katya Ivanova is presented as part of the company, where her roles „outside the theatre“ (that is, professional, outside student productions) include precisely „Remove from Friends“ alongside her student productions, such as „The Lower Depths“. 

The production „Remove from Friends“ is performed across different seasons and on several stages — Sofia is the main one, but there are performances in other cities as well, which shows that her role enjoys a lasting stage presence and is appreciated by the audience. 

Katya Ivanova appears to combine an interest in classical dramaturgy (student productions) with a desire to appear in contemporary theatrical formats that reach a wider audience. Her participation in „Remove from Friends“ is an important step in this direction — the role of Alex positions her as an artist who steps into contemporary comedic and dialogic situations that rely on live contact with the audience.
