A Living Community of Artists: Contemporary Romanian Playwrights

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary Romanian-language drama is developing exponentially, with a spectacularly growing audience and professional interest in performances that focus directly on social problems. At the same time, the funding of theatres, including independent or project-based productions, is at the mercy of a political apparatus that has been in constant flux since the change of regime. The prevailing uncertainty justifiably triggers a rebellious, resistant creative attitude. The authors analyzed (and their colleagues) write and create with the conviction that theatre can be a shaper of society, an active participant in the process of change and transformation. It is important to emphasize that this theatre is political without being party-dependent. The presentation of the authors also shows that the playwrights know and support each other’s work, participate in joint projects and form a living artistic community.
