Summary/Abstract: The Romanian Theatre in the Sixties (1963-65). Views from France and Russia on David Esrig’s Theatre. This research tries to present a brief period of the Romanian theatre, the sixties, from the point of view of its international echoes, mainly in France and Russia. Stage directors such as David Esrig and Lucian Pintilie, among many others, were very admired by theatre critics who had the opportunity to know their work. Denis Bablet, for example, wrote in 1967 a laudatory article in Les Lettres françaies, on Esrig and Pintilie, and it is entirely transcribed here, as an important document for Romanian theatre history. Bablet’s article is the starting point for this research, where the focus is put on Esrig’s work that is situated in the great meyerholdian tradition.
