Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the metamorphosis of the directorial perspectives on the text in contemporary animation theatre. The research is structured along two directions: a theoretical one, concerning the relationship between the director andthe literary material, and an applied one, analyzing staging methods of significant performances from recent decades. Thestudy highlights the interdisciplinary character of the phenomenon, correlating textual hermeneutics with visual semiotics andpost-dramatic aesthetics. Within this paradigm, directorial practice transcends the faithful transposition of the text, becominga process of artistic reconstruction. Dramaturgy is treated as a malleable material, a pre-text that enables meaningful explorations through diverse scenic means of expression. The director maintains a permanent dialogue with the dramatic writing,oscillating between the author’s intention and creative freedom, in order to transform verbal substance into a stratified sceniclanguage adapted to the sensibilities of the present.
