In the post-December theater, the "confrontation of the real" is sought, the opening to other cultural spaces, to postmodernist theatrical forms, emphasizing the tendency to define the "I" in relation to the "Other", aiming, at the same time, to recover "the lost time” in terms of theater’s reforms between two centuries. The "Romanian scene" after ʼ89 "records" both "returns" of (self)exiled authors, such as Anca Visdei, Matei Vişniec or Virgil Tănase, but also of directors (Andrei Șerban, Alexandru Tocilescu, Lucian Giurchescu and others). “Disliked” authors publish, "drawer" pieces appear, in other words, in the end, the once oppressed creative spirits manifest their freedom of expression, evading the “captive thinking” of the past. The so-called "processes of communism" is being raised, for a "healing" of consciences. The "new" theater is trying to "tell the truth."
