Potențialul spectacular al dramaturgiei blagiene
The Staging Potential of Lucian Blaga's Plays

Summary/Abstract: With regard to his poetry and philosophy, scholarship has firmly established Lucian Blaga as a canonical 20th century author. However, when considering his dramatic works, they have not enjoyed the same regard as Blaga’s other pursuits, all the while being subjected to widely diverging interpretations. The innovative, almost insurrectionary spirit exhibited byBlaga’s plays have incurred at the time of their appearance a certain level of skepticism on the part of critics, resulting in an attempt to squeeze them into an unfitting mould. This lies in stark contrast to their current critical assessment, where a tendency to emphasize the potential for spectacle and an active desire to overturn the conventional interpretations that view Blaga’s drama exclusively in light of his poetry and philosophy can be observed. Therefore, the present paper argues for casting the spectacular dimension of Blaga’s drama as a novel interpretative strategy on the historic axis of the author’s critical assessment.
