The importance of meaning in the act of creation
The importance of meaning in the act of creation

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the notion of "meaning" and its forgotten necessity in the act of creation, both of the actor and of the director, with the aim of redefining the responsibility they have in forint of the spectator, so that their act would become a creating one again. Meaning, not just something that was created, but that continues to create, so that theatre does not remain a mere tool, but that it restores its function. For this, it is necessary that the act of creation does not remain the unconsciously narcissistically manifestation of the one who makes it, but that the manifestation would become a consciously revealing one towards the one who is meant for it. Using the impossible exhaustive knowledge of the field of abyssal psychology - itself not being an exact science -, the article appeals to empiricism as the only way by which "meaning" can be researched, and confronts the weakness of the authors to have forgotten their responsibility, by giving into the need to generate pleasure at the expense of meaning.
