David Esrig and poetic theater. Elements of a method

Summary/Abstract: We have assisted, then participated at the director and professor David Esrig’s workshops in Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania, and Burghausen, Germany, so we had the opportunity to meet his method. Because it’s about a method – both a directing and pedagogical one – we can talk about in his work. We named a few of the terms he uses, with their definitions, which are terms of great importance in theatre practice, even new ones or others already in use, but, the last ones, now really made up concrete and clear during the work process. David Esrig is in search of a poetic theatre, that is the opposite of an epic one, and such a theatre deals with crucial, existential matters, found in poetic and dramatic texts written by authors deeply implied, in their life and work, in the creative process, like Gellu Naum, Paul Celan. The same, actors are invited and directed to „plunge” in the deepest levels of the texts in work, (starting with a structural analysis), and therefore find bodily and vocal means, advanced ones, that would shortcut the essence ot the text and bring it on the scene with concentrated, symbolic gesture.
