Theatre Review/ Art Review

Summary/Abstract: The review section brings together three critical interventions dedicated to contemporary Romanian performing and visual arts. The theatrical review examines a recent stage production from the perspective of its aesthetic strategies, interpretive framework, and cultural significance. The two visual arts reviews focus, respectively, on Dana Catona’s ceramic practice, emphasizing the symbolic interplay of materiality, memory, and poetic imagination, and on the exhibition Întunecata concepție. Erezii lui Lilith și Saturn, devoted to Robert Lőrincz and Paul Baraka Marat. The latter explores the artists’ dialogue with Gothic imagery, religious iconography, and contemporary visual culture, highlighting their use of grotesque, profanation, and postmodern symbolism. Together, the three reviews offer a critical overview of current directions in Romanian theatre and visual arts, addressing the relationship between artistic form, cultural memory, and contemporary sensibilities.
