"Two Theatrical Paradigms: Communism and Post-December Reality" is a comprehensive analysis of the transformations that Romanian theater has undergone in recent decades. These changes are closely linked to the shift in the political regime and the influence of Western theatrical paradigms. The author, Toma Florin, draws on his experiences as an actor as well as his passion for theater and literature in this examination. The book highlights the dramatic currents of the post-1989 era and offers a contrasting approach to communist and post-communist dramaturgy. It also considers the development of theater as part of culture, which is increasingly becoming a business shaped by personal initiative and exposed to the challenges and opportunities of a pluralistic society.
