Schimbarea prin teatru: realitate sau utopie?
Change through theatre: Reality or utopia?

Summary/Abstract: Since the very beginning, the human being, a superior creature, was endowed with the gift of reason and has developed certain tendencies to auto-improve itself. Most probably, this is how theatre was born. However, it remains a fact, that Shakespeare’s theater (about which he used to say that it “held a mirror up to nature”), has long since crossed this boundaries and became a meaning of suggestion or even maneuver. Yet, a transformation through theater seems to be possible and people have invested in this ideal ever since the ancient times, when Greeks used to open the touristy season with the Urban Dionysian celebrations, or when Romans used to control the mobs with the well-known “pane et circensis”. Why then should we stand below? Could we actually change communities, educate thoughts or even tame mentalities through theater? Of course we can, especially if we approach people in the most vulnerable area: that is the street.
