Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the stage director’s position and his/her role in the creation of the theatrical event today – in the beginning of the new millennium, after the “golden century” of the director (the modern theatre between the 1870s and the late 1960s) and after the era of postmodern deconstructions and games with fragments and quotations. The new functions of the director in the working team and in the creative process are examined in the text. They outline the broad spectrum from the traditional conceptual creator of the performance to the team’s facilitator and to an equal participant in the collaborative work. These new functions go beyond the dramatic and postdramatic theatre as well as beyond the modern and postmodern director’s strategies.
