Summary/Abstract: Two main tendencies which represent the basis of theatricality during the XX-th century, interdisciplinarity (stimulated by the visual artists interferences, emerged from the avantgardes area, and also from contemporary music) and multiculturalism (generated by the interest of contemporary art for both middle-east and far-east influences) remain the important orienting points towards the performance accelerated complexity. The most visible changes are created by the European directors interested in the regeneration of European art, through artistic oriental solutions, process followed by a „tip of scale” in favour of a reversed trajectory, during the median part of the century. Recently, the international stage offers an image completed by artistists of oriental provenience, who not only combine the experiment with a very personal philosophy, but also demonstrate their integration in expressive codes both occidental and universal.
