Summary/Abstract: The book “Aproape de scenă, George Banu. Eseuri și mărturii” (Near the stage, George Banu. Essays and Confessions) is the successful teamwork of three Romanian universities: Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, “Petru Maior” University of Târgu Mureș and UNATC (Theatre and Cinema National University) Bucharest, along with “Vatra” literary magazine. The coordinators of the volume, Iulian Boldea (University of Târgu Mureș) and Stefana Pop-Curșeu (University of Cluj Napoca), have opted for a kaleidoscope-type of nearness in writing about George Banu, present at his Romanian anniversary. The book has an impeccable critical apparatus and, at the same time, succeeds in conveying the same energy and vivacity that a good theatre performance must have. The volume explores the relationship between theatre and knowledge, having George Banu’s texts and conferences as a starting point.
