The 16-year-old child who fell from the stage of the Pleven theater on Friday is still in danger life. This is what the university hospital in the city said.
The girl leaned on the railing and fell. The height from which the accident happened was several meters.
On Friday, Lora Petkova underwent emergency surgery. At the moment, however, he remains in intensive care and has a severe brain injury. His condition is critical.
The girl is part of the children's and youth troupe at the "Ivan Radoev" theater. Lora Petkova rehearsed with the other children in the premiere performance "Twelfth Night".
An investigation by the police and the prosecutor's office has begun and an internal review has been ordered.
The Minister of Culture has ordered an immediate investigation into both the case and the theater's activities.
The director of the theater Dimitar Kabakov explained that all administrative requirements regarding the children's stay in the theater – such as safety briefings and other requirements of the Labor Inspection, have been made.
„In the past years, such an incident with a child has never happened, he categorically told BTV.
„We are all in shock. In the morning we had a water light in the theater, and then a prayer for health was offered in the church of "St. Nicholas", added Kabakov.
