- Title
Classical Dramaturgy and the Abuse of Interpretation. From Patrimonial Tradition to the Politicisation of Tradition.

- Abstract
Our text aims at bringing into discussion a series of attitudes of the interpreter (here, the Director, the result of his hermeneutical act being the Show in itself) in relation with the classical theatre text. In other words: a contemporary director reads a classical text, interprets it and builds a show on it. How much of the world of the text will be found in the world of the show? To what extent does the text remain a mere dialogue partner and how much is it exploited, politicised, and changed into a pretext for showing off an identity unknown to the text? In a similar way, we are interested in studying this kind of behaviour in the Romanian cultural area, where the relationship between the director-interpreter and the classical text of the Romanian theatre accounts for more general attitudes of the Romanian intellectual person in relation to his own tradition.
