A politikai színház genealógiája a posztszocializmusban. A „rendszer”-ellenes nihilizmustól az antikapitalista baloldalig
The Genealogy of Political Theatre in Post-Socialism. From Anti-system Nihilism to the Anti-capitalist Left

Summary/Abstract: David Schwartz’s text is an analysis of the context of the emergence, development and current difficulties faced by left-wing political theatre, critical of capitalism, which has been starting to assert itself in Romania since the 2000s. At the same time, for the sake of historical contextualization, the author makes a gesture of recovery, evoking the memory of the interwar political theatre of the left and that of the communist period, almost unknown to the world and to the contemporary theatre audience. This information hiatus that led to the suppression of the history of political resistance once present in Romanian theatre, may be the cause why young artists interested in socio-political theatre are influenced rather by Western cultural models to which they had access, and which inspired them aesthetically and ideologically.
