| Summary: | A History of Romanian Theatre from Communism to Capitalism analyses the last three decades of Romanian theater and connects it to the international stage. Cristina Modreanu questions the relationship between artists and power, both before 1989, behind the Iron Curtain, and in the current global political context, with nationalism manifesting itself in eastern Europe, as seen in the critical work of Romanian theater makers. This study covers the complex cases of theatre makers such as Lucian Pintilie, Liviu Ciulei and Andrei Șerban, who built their international careers in exile, and the most innovative Romanian artists of today, such as Mihai Măniuţiu, Gianina Cărbunariu, Radu Afrim, Bogdan Georgescu and Radu Jude, who reached the status of transglobal artists. Filling a considerable gap in Romanian theater discourse, this book will be of a great interest to students and scholars of contemporary theater and history. |
