Abstract

The article provides a brief analysis of the process of the artistic development of Alexandru Grecu’s creative personality and the manifestation of his distinct directorial peculiarities in the performances: Ce e viaţa omului/ What is the life of a man, Moţoc, Hercules, Unde mergem, domnilor?/Where are we going, gentlemen?, Triunghiul păcatului/The triangle of sin, Moliere, Căsătorie cu de-a sila/Forced Marriage, Ciuleandra, Care-s sălbaticii?/ Who are the savages?, Metamorphoses I, Metamorphoses II, S.R.L, The Moldovan, the Master and Margarita. Examining the peculiarities of Alexandru Grecu’s direction, the author reveals the artistic message that identifies the interconnection and interdependence of public life and of each individual in a rapidly changing world. The article emphasizes the fact that, being a relevant component of the artistic culture of the era of postmodernism, the performances of Alexandru Grecu, as a distinct sociocultural phenomenon, reveal through the prism of a multidimensional theatrical action the essence of the phenomena of social life, basing its artistic approach on the dramatic material, its stage interpretation, the situation and the moment in which the stage creation is produced.
