Summary/Abstract: Folkloric creativity, expressed through recognized artistic forms, used to have a specific performance in time and space, and in front of a specific audience. Due to a multitude of factors, and as a result of social and technological development in the society, nowadays,one cannot find the former oral communication of folklore as it used to be within the uneducated layers of the population. Traditional folklore, but also the one recreated based on the former forms, nowadays distributed within a new communication horizon, through various audiovisual and technological forms, has influencedcreation of new and different relationships between a receiver/recipient and a creator/reproducer, unlike those that once existed. On the other hand, presentation of folklore as part of the cultural heritage is being increasingly used to promote traditional culture in the cultural industry through folklore festivals, which as cultural events in the Albanian culture have a relatively long tradition of organization. Based on the references of the researchers who have dealt with this issue, this paper aims at emphasizing what time-space-audience relationship used to be in folkloric performances, what are the factors that influenced change in this relationship today, as well as how much and to what extent hasthe functional aspect of the spiritual creativity changed by putting on stage such performances in folklore festivals and its relationship with the audience.
