Heated emotions, ethnic conflicts, the fate of social marginalized groups: these are politically and socially relevant topics that engage the post-communist generation of Romanian directors and playwrights. In this volume, theater critics from Romania and Paris, as well as culture editors from Bonn and Vienna, speak out for the first time, shedding light on today's Romanian theater scene: What is the state of the Romanian theater world? Which authors are being performed at which theaters by which artists? What festivals are taking place nationwide? How is it possible to reconnect with European theater life after dictatorship and censorship? Once again, the enduring collaborations with the German-speaking world prove fruitful.
