Arta și tehnica one-man show-ului: Domnule și frate Eminescule
The art and technique of the one-man show: Mr. and Brother Eminescule

Summary/Abstract: The starting point for the present study was the need for a theorization of the poetry recital and of the one-man show. As both are forms of performance requiring perfect command of acting techniques – since the audience is “controlled” by one actor only – the theoretical component of such a cultural product seemed to me as an extremely fertile area of research. A Dialogue between Eminescu and Creangă is a one-man show made up of excerpts from Mihai Eminescu’s and Ion Creanga’s best-known writings, all very dear to the Romanian public, which makes the show even more difficult to put together. Throughout this article (which is an extract from a larger study), special emphasis is placed on the crucial role of the verb in constructing mental images, as well as on the kind of approach that one should take to this type of performance, i.e. the philological method of thoroughly analyzing the literary text before it gets to be recited.
