Summary/Abstract: This article presents the biography of Marietta Sadova, a notable figure in Romanian theatrical scene and an important cultural personality of the interwar period. In this work, we look at the special relationship established between this artist and the communist regime in the 1950s. In 1956, the Romanian authorities sent Marietta Sadova to Paris with a particular mission: to win the sympathy of some valuable Romanian writers settled there for the Romanian democratic-popular regime. On her return, Sadova brought some writings of these authors, forbidden in the country, which she distributed in her entourage. Three years later, the artist got arrested for spreading clandestine texts and she was included by the communist authorities in the Noica-Pillat batch, judged and sentenced in 1960.
