Summary/Abstract: The paper summarizes the main arguments for which the education history accomplishes by exploiting the theater techniques. We wanted to illustrate how the transfer of identity using the empathic support, in a dramatic scenario, enable better comprehension of the educational phenomenon, in time perspective. Case study: „Theater Workshop for Rehabilitation of Education History” offered unique learning opportunities, with an undeniable formative-educational impact. Beyond the significance deciphered, theater, viewed as an alternative perspective of achieving the teaching, generates and maintains the process of formation of attitudes and strong beliefs. The universe of contemporary education appeared more clear and the practice of creative-critical thinking strategies paved the way for renewed pedagogical reflections on the fate of education in the world today and tomorrow.
