Bulgarian actor Valeri Yordanov has publicly accused Vasil Vasilev, the director of the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, of obstructing his ability to perform. Yordanov alleges Vasilev is actively working against him, specifically by appealing a decision made by a medical commission assessing his work capacity (TЕЛК). Details regarding the grounds for the TЕЛК decision and Vasilev’s appeal remain unclear, but Yordanov shared his concerns via a Facebook post. This action suggests a potential professional conflict between the actor and the theatre’s leadership. The situation raises questions about artistic freedom and potential interference in an actor’s career within a national institution. No official statement has yet been released by the National Theatre regarding the accusations. Further developments are anticipated as the dispute unfolds.
