Ciulei, Liviu (b. 1923), director. The Romanian‐born artist, the son of an architect, was educated at the Academy of Music and Drama in Bucharest and began an acting career at the Lucia Sturdza Bulandra Theatre, later becoming artistic director for a decade. Ciulei gained international attention when his production of Danton's Death was restaged in Berlin in 1966, and by 1975 he was directing in America, serving as the artistic director of the Guthrie Theatre in the 1980s. His many significant productions include The Lower Depths (1977) at the Arena Stage, Spring Awakening (1978) at the Public Theatre, The Tempest (1981) at the Guthrie, and The Inspector General (1978) at the Circle in the Square. Ciulei's productions are known for their bold and surreal images and his eclectic use of different theatrical styles.
