Summary/Abstract: The offensive of the theatrical alternative against the closed artistic space in the canons of the realism of the first post communist decade is carried on through its aesthetic dimension. The alternative attitudes, which are increasingly taking place in the scenic landscape of the Republic of Moldova, urge the artists to look for new models of theater organization, new ways of creating performances, to transcend the boundaries between arts, to discover unconventional spaces for playing. It is worth noting, however, that the aesthetic performances of the first shows in the alternative evolutionary route support the political agenda of the time. The revolution in art and the revolution in society go hand in hand, overcoming the artistic and political censorship.
