  Article:   THE HUMAN TOUCH – ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE SOCIALLY ENGAGED THEATRE .

Authors:  MIRUNA RUNCAN. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:   The paper analyses the evolution of social and political theatre practiced by several independent companies these last years, in Romania. Based on the opposition between the independent theatrical movement and the dominant model of repertory theatres, the author opens a debate discussing an article published in the spring of 2012 after the Timișoara International Theatre Festival, an article that objected to the uniformity of textual structures in independent active theatre performances. By using examples of documentary or debate theatre performances, carried out by several independent theatre teams, the paper tries to outline several current strategies of textual construction, based on fragmentarism, associative dynamics, non-narrativity, the activation of the dialogue with the audience, efficiency and, most of all, the actor’s involvement in the entire design and representation of the theatrical project.

Keywords: Drama, Political theatre, Theatre audiences.
