Abstract

This study centers upon Martyr, a Marius von Mayenburg play, staged in 2014 at the National Theatre in Târgu-Mureș by the Romanian theatre director Theodor-Cristian Popescu. Using specific artistic tools, the director manages to transform a closed play into an open work of art. The result can be classified as an efficient performance. Confronting this performance with the local theatrical environment, the result cannot be considered a cultural success.
