Abstract

The study examines Judit Elek’s 1992 production of Romeo and Juliet, presented at the Academy of Theatre Arts in Târgu Mureș, as an intercultural and political adaptation within the context of post-regime-change theatre and actor training in Transylvania. The analysis combines performance history and theatre theory methodologies, drawing on contemporary reviews, archival documents, and personal interviews, and includes a textual and performance analysis of the surviving recording of the production. The research seeks to answer how Shakespeare’s tragedy was reinterpreted in light of the problems of Romanian–Hungarian coexistence and conflict. The significance of the production lies in the fact that, from an institutional–historical perspective, it introduced a new artistic impulse into actor training in Târgu Mureș, while also highlighting the mediating role of theatre at a sensitive historical moment through the political actualisation of a classical drama.
