Impactul pe termen lung al revenirii regizorilor români din exil: instituţional, ca estetică a spectacolului, ca poetică actoricească

Abstract

My study focuses on how the return home of the stage directors banned by the communist regime influenced the post-1990 Romanian theatre. They were the leaders in reconnecting our theatre to international tendencies after almost five decades of ideological censorship and political control. In this regard I was especially interested in institutional aspects, in Andrei Şerban’s management of the Bucharest “I.L. Caragiale” National Theatre, as well as in his aesthetic program and stage poetics. Another director that called my attention is Alexander Hausvater, the way his creative work influenced actors, managers, technicians, the audience, etc. There are also a few references to David Esrig and his acting method.
