O tentaţie a teatrului contemporan: entertainmentul
An attempt by contemporary theater: entertainment

Summary/Abstract: Is the notion of success valid in theatre? This is the question I try to answer in this essay. I refer, first, at a trend of actual theatre, a temptation for entertainment, a concept assumed, in my understanding, as „superficial enjoy”. Than, I’m looking after the origins of these new meanings of contemporary theatre: the poor interest for word, the temptation of simplify, losing appetite for dreaming, a thicker relationship with transcendence, a wrong understanding of theatre as un-stressing/ relaxing technique, strange and strong intersection between theatre and cinema. In the second part, I’m trying to draw some lines in the directions of a so-called “phenomenology of applauses”; not only the usual clap of hands, but the general behaviour of now-a-days theatre’s public.
