The article deals with the problem of the memory of the dramatic genre in the view of director Alexandru Cozub from “Mihai Eminescu” National Theater in Chisinau. The shows staged by the director based on the dramaturgical texts written in the 1960s-1970s and which were (and are) staged by this theater since 2010 serve as the object of the study. The purpose of the research lies in highlighting the new directorial visions on the texts by I. Druță and D. Matcovschi, depending on the social, theatrical, aesthetic context and the director’s artistic vision. The comparativehistorical method, that of theatrical historiography, as well as elements of psychoanalytical interpretation of the artistic discourse, constitute the methodological support of the investigation. We demonstrate that director A. Cozub artistically achieves cultural memory through a current look at national dramaturgy, thus revealing not only his artistic but also his personal identity, especially by emphasizing the valences of the proto-theatrical form, such as the chorus, and the diversification of musical forms in the stage actions. The show also contributes to shaping and reshaping the receiver’s identity.
