Naționalul târgumureșean și revista „Vatra” – refugiu reciproc în comunism
The National Theatre Târgu-Mureș and the publication "Vatra" – mutual shelter during communism

Summary/Abstract: The National Theatre Târgu-Mureș and “Vatra” publication developed a close collaboration during the ’70s and the ’80s, representing each of them a place for artistic and ideological shelter for the other. The Romanian section of the Theatre was created in 1962 and after the appearance of the cultural publication Vatra in 1971, it became a devoted mirror for the local theatre, whereas the National Theatre Târgu-Mureș supported the dramatic creation of the publication’s editor in chief, Romulus Guga. This relationship between the two cultural institutions benefited from Romulus Guga’s activity in the National Theatre Târgu-Mureș, as literary secretary, between 1967-1971. Most of his plays were staged by the local theatre, in an attitude of mutual support which proves, once again, the force of cultural resistance during the communist period.
