Summary/Abstract: George Banu has never allowed theoretical research and academic study toquench his emotion. His way of expressing himself was the one of a word andimage craftsman. Is George Banu a friend of the theatre directors, from Brookto Zholdak, from Grotowski and Kantor to Warlikowski and Yannis Kokkos orFelix Alexa, from Strehler to Bondy or Castellucci? Is he a theatrologist whoavoids the trap of recipes forced upon the art critic? In a subtle and indirectmanner, he reminds us that the theatre is not a personal affair but somethingmeant to stir the general interest that creates the bond between the human beingand the world and the stars. His critical journeys are a tribute to theuniversality of the theatre.
