TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the transposition of a metaphor generated by light and shadow from literature to cinematography and theatre as in Liviu Rebreanu's “The Forest of the Hanged”.
Abstract: Starting from their basic role as elements of literary, cinematographic and theatrical description, light and shadow develop a close relation in all these three arts. They exceed their primary purpose and become involved in the process of narrating the events and setting the mise-en-scene. Even more, they are also engaged in changing the atmosphere, visualizing the images, modifying the reader’s or viewer’s attention, increasing or diminishing the dramatic intensity, conferring dynamic effect, accumulating meaning and revealing symbolic, philosophical, psychological and metaphysical significance to literary, cinematographic and theatrical artworks. Transferred from literature to cinematography and theatre, light and shadow have to adjust their means of expression so that to correspond to the specificity of each art. Taking after the techniques in the art of drawing, naming the tree-dimension perspective and chiaroscuro, light and shadow bring new aesthetic values to theatre and cinematography. Regarded as instruments of creating literary and visual metaphors, light and shadow highly influence the perception of the images outlined by them. The study aims to take into discussion the manner in which light and shadow may be employed as instruments of creating literary as well as visual metaphors. At the same time, it analyses the transposition of a metaphor generated by light and shadow from literature to cinematography and theatre as in Liviu Rebreanu’s “The Forest of the Hanged”.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the importance of the Romanian theatrical project DramAcum, as a new type of theatre and dramaturgy, and explore its importance in the development of New European Drama or New Writing.
Abstract: During the nineties, a new theatrical trend developed. It was called New European Drama or New Writing. It was represented by authors such as the British Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill or the German playwright Marius von Mayernburg. The classical theatre will never be able to return to itself, unless giving the spectator the utopian sense of life that only a staged play could perform, not from a delusive perspective, but from a real and personalized perspective, giving a certain meaning to reality. Being against the conservatory type, the authors put an end to all the theatrical conventions. They considered that it had to come to a point of changing the old patterns, of introducing new themes, new structures, new means of performing in the attempt of seducing and shocking the audience. Most of the dramatic texts focus on the plots about hard human existence such as racism, madness, suicide, sexuality, drug addiction and any type of abuse. The language is vulgar and slangy. All the dramatic texts when performed on stage invade the personal space of the people watching, who is now considered one of the characters. It is not only the dramatic text that is taken into consideration, but the performance itself. The new type of theatre developed in Russia, Poland and Romania, giving specific projects (Teatr.doc, The Drama Laboratory and DramAcum). All were influenced by the verbatim dramatic style performed in theatres under the slogan of the in-yer-face. The study intends to explore the importance of the Romanian theatrical project – DramAcum, as a new type of theatre and dramaturgy.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present an analysis of Miss Christina's picture taking into consideration its cinematographic representations as a means of visual expression of the same experience, which they interpret as the most important element of the labyrinthine pathway.
Abstract: As commonly known the labyrinth represents not only a major element of the intercultural dialogue but also a cultural, mythological, religious, literary and artistic icon. Its pattern implies several stages, among which the initiation, the inner change and the conversion, all being meant to deeply modify the subject that is confronting such a complex pathway. Plunged into a space full of obstacles, the subject is continuously experimenting. Thus, he has to enter the labyrinth, to search the only true way through the labyrinth, to hesitate, to lose himself, to descend into Inferno, to split his soul, to find the centre of the labyrinth and finally to find the exit. Such complex patterns could be found in many of Mircea Eliade’s narrative texts. For the characters that find themselves trapped inside the maze every experience can be regarded as an attempt to reach the centre of the labyrinth. It is the case of the novel “Miss Christina”, where the protagonists, despite their efforts, miss their meeting in the centre of the labyrinth and implicitly their individual initiation. Since this centre stands for the place where two different types of worlds could find each other, it may be interpreted as the most important element of the labyrinthine pathway. The study intends to give an insight into the protagonists’ search for the centre as well as an analysis of the very centre as a synthesis between life and death. Having the form of a picture, this centre is meant to become a substitute of life. Exceeding the literary area, the analysis of Miss Christina’s picture takes into consideration its cinematographic representations as means of visual expression of the same experience.
