Summary/Abstract: The study deals with interwar theater, with two experimental formulas that project the dramatic object into the methaphysical level: Lucian Blaga's Expressionist theater and Mircea Eliade's mythical theater. We considered Mircea Eliade's theater to be a step further away from Living Theater's experiment (Artaud, Grotowski, Brook, Craig, Barba), similar to Bharata's theatricality in NatyaSastra, where the initiation seems to happen directly on the stage. The Expressionist theatricality in the formula proposed by Lucian Blaga was interrogated by means of the two cultural models - Gothic and Indic - mentioned by the author in his Principles of Aesthetics.
