The article refers to the presence of parody in the animation theater in Romania. In the introductory part, the author talks about Mihail Bahtin’s concept of carnival culture, a category that also includes parody, a manifestation of the critical spirit, specific to animation theater of all times. The parody is inherent in the animation theater which, through its specific means, through the representation of the characters with puppets or marionets, makes a literary work written with “serious intentions” become ridiculous and funny. The parody ridicules both the “serious” themes and the mannerisms and ancient representation procedures in theater and opera, the grandiose style of play of some actors or opera soloists, etc. The article reviews some hypostases of parody in the drama of the genre, giving examples from the writings of Mihai Eminescu, George Călinescu, I.L. Caragiale, Vasile Alecsandri and some contemporary authors, as well as from the shows are based on the principle of parody.
