GIANINA CĂRBUNARIU'S THEATRE, A FORM OF MEMORY IN RECENT HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: My paper highlights the way in which, by documenting some Romanian histories from our recent past, Gianina Cărbunariu’ theatre fuels our colective memory. Cărbunariu picks topics avoided by authorities, not enough or not at all analyzed by historians or sociologists, themes that are aesthetically treated focusing on small histories, real facts forgotten by researchers, facts that are pointed out through theatrical expressiveness. My study is build around the methodology developed by Paul Ricoeur in his book, Memory, history, forgetting, which I use as frame of my analyze. As content I have chosen a few of the most succesfull shows created by Gianina Cărbunariu and the most relevant in this analitic context.
