O regie pe care de dispariție: experiența înțelegerii textelor clasice
A disappearing director: The experience of understanding classical texts

Summary/Abstract: Peter Stein draws from his own 50-year-old experience as a theatre director to evaluate the importance and value of classical texts in the process of acknowledging the eternal nature of humanity, as opposed to the superficiality of ideas and common language of more contemporary texts that are gaining popularity in the German theatre production. Through the mature understanding of classical plays, such as Faust by J.W. Goethe or the Greek tragedy, by learning from the inner rhythm of these texts and by avoiding the urge of deconstruction and modernization in the sense of applying one’s personal experiences and obsessions, theatre can assert the higher sense of communion between actors and audience. Peter Stein’s process of developing large productions, apprehended as an act of construction, is intertwining with his experience as theatre founder. His conviction that spatiality is the theatre’s core, made way to the construction of several venues that could organize the life of the performance, but could also accommodate the needs of the public for as long as the performance lasts.
