Considerații privind cadrul politic și ideologic în primul deceniu al regimului Ceaușescu din perspectiva vieții teatrale maghiare

Considerations on the political and ideological framewor in the first decade of Ceausescu’s regime in the perspective of Hungarian theatrical life in Romania of call, mobilizing intellectuals to build the sovereign communist Romania, to achieve the emancipation of the Romanian socialist nation. This change was the ba-sis of the cultural policy in the early years of the Ceausescu regime. During the years of relative liberalizati-on, the theatre from Romania, including the Hungarian one, benefited from some new opportunities compared to the Stalinist period: new artistic currents other than socialist realism, some openness to contemporary socialist and Western theatre, changes in repertoire poli-tics etc. This opening period will end in the early 1970s, after the publication of the July Theses. The long-term implication of the theses visibly changed the course of the party ideology. Instead of relaxing at the end of the Dej era and the beginning of the Ceausescu era, a new period of ideological constraint has been established. The effects on dramaturgy and repertoires will appear gradually, until the middle of the 70s. It is obvious that it has started a new stage in the life of the Hungarian theatre in Romania, as well. First the ideological con-straints will force an attempt to adapt, than the changes in the attitude of the party and in the policy towards the Hungarian minority will place the Hungarian theatre in another hypostasis, that of the struggle for survival.
