Imaginări spectaculare de coerciţie sistemică
Instanciations of Systemic Coercion in Theatre and Contemporary Dance

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the generation of dramaturgical texts in two recent performances belonging to the genres of theatre and contemporary dance (Tipografic, majuscul – 2011, Teatrul Odeon, directed by Gianina Cărbunariu and Dedublarea – 2007, UNATC/CNDB, choreography by Mădălina Dan). The use of audio-visual technology in the play and of improvisation techniques in contemporary dance are analysed with respect to the suggested aesthetic and philosophical categories, as well as the element of newness brought to their respective genres. The particular aspects of the pieces under analysis are compared to similar traits found elsewhere in Europe. Examples supporting the communication between performing arts are provided from the field of cinema, with a final focus on production values determining the particular form of theatricality.
