Summary/Abstract: The paper – „A Fundamental Generation” presents the artistic experiences of three of the most important Romanian theatre directors in the second part of the twentieth century: Radu Penciulescu, David Esrig and Valeriu Moisescu. What they all have in common, besides being part of the same golden generation of artists, is their special interest in exploring aesthetics that changed the face of Romanian theatre and combining the artistic activity with a very meaningfull teaching activity. From the point of view of career choices they all have been influenced by the political and artistic environment of the Romanian society before 1989, each responding in a specific manner to the ideological dictatorial requirements of the Communist East. The paper tries to convey these choices and experiences into career models that may serve as starting points for young artists nowadays.
