Summary/Abstract: Most of the times, societal crises lead to cultural recessions. Yet, there are times when they generate positive results, due to the reminding of the role of culture in society. The Romanian Independence War was an important historical event; at the same time, it unblocked the informational flux, increasing people’s interest in art, especially since, in times of trouble, culture and art have the ability to become a refuge for those who cannot stand the pressures of said times. The world of theatre did not remain indifferent; actors and playwrights got involved. They shared the vibration of the era, they were solidary with those fighting on the war fronts, so that the dream of the nation – independence – could become reality.
