Summary/Abstract: This article follows the concept of postmodernism through the eyes and work of a contemporary director – Romeo Castellucci. Owing to the fact that this artistic current is constantly developing, trying to define it would be rather useless, although some of its particularities are worth to be mentioned: eclecticism, fragmental, the syncretism of arts, destroying convention, the performance, the installation etc. The above mentioned Italian director is one of the best examples of postmodern directing. Among his great creations, one stands out: the trilogy which develops from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. By analyzing this production, one may unravel traces of postmodernism.
