Summary/Abstract: Director’s theatre is a concept of 20th century theatre. Its roots in Macedonian theatre can be found in the work of Dimitar Kjostarov and Ilija Milchin. In the 1970s, the theatre in Macedonia established itself with the “notorious” trio of Ljubisha Georgievski, Vladimir Milchin and Slobodan Unkovski, which in a certain way marked the genre in the country. Such is the traditional concept of director’s theatre according to the current standards in theatre studies. But what about director’s theatre today? Can we talk about director’s theatre under Macedonian circumstances? What are the prevailing director’s aesthetics and how do they evolve in relation to global theatre practices? These are the key issues of this paper. The study will focus on several Macedonian theatre directors and their stances towards the theatre, in correlation with theatre practices in the world. The scientific and methodological instruments are focused upon contemporary theaterology. The basic tools of this study are: play reconstruction, theatrical analysis and the neo-historical method.
