Aleksandr Morfov was born on November 9, 1960, in Yambol, Bulgaria. He is a Bulgarian theater and cinema director. Morfov's father was an officer, and his mother was a teacher in Russian language and literature, music, and also a conductor of a folklore choir in Sliven. After Morfov graduated from the Mathematical high school he attended lectures for two years in the Technical University in Varna. Morfov's theater career began in student's years, when he participated as an assistant stage director in Stoyan Alexiev's theater company. After quitting university he began working in the Sliven Theater as a stage worker and later light manager. In 1984 he was enrolled in the National Academy for Theatre and Film Art in Sofia. He graduated from the Academy with a double major in stage directing for drama and puppet theater (1990) in the class of Julia Ognyanova and cinema directing (1994) in the class of Georgi Djulgerov. His earliest works on a professional stage are in the Rhodope Drama Theater, where he was the author and director of the satire "Political cabaret" (1990). He was invited to work at the Little City Theatre "Off the Channel" where he staged "Pere Ubu" by Alfred Jarry (1991), followed by "The Tempest" (1992) and "Hamlet" by Shakespeare in the "La Strada" Theater. From 1994 to 2000 he has been occupying the position Chief director at the "Ivan Vazov" National Theatre of Bulgaria. Morfov's first shows at the National Theatre were his original version of "Don Quixote" by Cervantes and a revised version of "The Tempest". These two performances gave start to a whole new process of attracting young and modern-thinking audience to the theater. With his next production "Midsummer night's Dream" by Shakespeare, Alexander Morfov became one of the most popular theater directors in Bulgaria. His original version of "The Decameron, or Passion and Blood" after Boccaccio, also bears the traits of his stylistics. "The Lower Depths" by Maxim Gorky is Morfov's way of sharply stating his civil opinion without betraying his typical theatricality. "Exiles" (2004), after a novel by Ivan Vazov, the national poet and writer, is the logical continuation to the latter. Among others, his productions on the leading stage in the country include: "Night of Miracles" after Beckett, Mrozek and Ionesco; "Don Juan" by Moliere; "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Life Is Beautiful" after Nikolai Erdman's "The Suicide".

All of his productions were taken off the theater's repertory. Since 2001 he has been successfully working in Russia. His first show "The Tempest" in the "Komissarzhevskaya" Theatre was a landmark event in St. Petersburg's theater life and was honored with Russia's most prestigious award in the field of theater "The Golden Mask". After that he was invited in Moscow, in the Theater of the famous Russian actor Alexander Kalyagin, "Et cetera", where he staged "Don Quixote" and "Pere Ubu" with Kalyagin in the leading role. Both productions were nominated for "The Golden Mask" and Alexander Kalyagin received the award for "Best Performance" for the role of Father Ubu. Between 2003 and 2006 he was appointed Chief stage director in the "Komissarzhevskaya" theatre in St. Petersburg where he staged five productions and received the premium "Golden Soffit" for "Don Juan" by Moliere and was again nominated for "The Golden Mask". His productions "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" with Alexandr Abdulov and "The Visit of the Old Lady" with Maria Mironova in "Lenkom" Theater also proved to be significant events in Moscow's theatre life. Morfov has received more than twenty national and international theater awards. In 2005 he worked in the USA with Mikhail Baryshnikov on the theater project "Doctor and Patient" by Rezo Gabriadze.
