Summary/Abstract: In 2023, Performantica Publishing House issued the study dedicated to the dramaturgy of Maurice Maeterlinck, a book signed by Cristi Avram. More than 450 pages constitute, in fact, a detailed, thorough analysis, approached from multiple perspectives, of the theater texts, but also of the Belgian writer's prose or poetry. At the same time, the author's constant preoccupation with searching among the performances, not so many and not too easy to access, for Maeterlinck's plays is a direction that completes the integrative discourse. Moreover, the encounter between literary critical commentary and their stage readings makes Infantilism and Elderliness in Maurice Maeterlinck's Theater an important and necessary reference book for the landscape of studies under Thalia's dome.
