The Evolution Of A Performance Not Only For The Young.The Magic Land At Luceafărul Theatre Of Iasi - A LookFrom Within

The present paper aims at highlighting and promoting the importance of two main elements in the evolution of drama or animation theatre performances as well as in cinema productions that insure appropriate audience understanding: emotion, the expression of the character’s inner feelings through the actor, and precision, reflected in a series of stage rules. Offering in the beginning a number of professional views on the characteristics of interpretation in the above artistic domains, with a focus on theatre performances, the paper approaches next a 2020 production at Luceafărul Theatre of Ia?i, The Magic Land, in an attempt to point out its grounding on the two elements. The performance in title was not a random choice: its evolution on stage was closely followed from within, as a direct participant in its "making", while its abundance in complex choreographic moments provided a rich source for debate on the necessity of precision and emotional involvement.
