    Este artículo presenta un estudio de algunos aspectos des-tacados de la trayectoria de la directora de escena Eva Le Gallienne, considerando sus aportes a la renovación del teatro en su práctica o en su organización y su pertinencia en el momento actual. Para ello, se ha realizado una amplia revisión de literatura, incorporando al análisis documentos de la época especialmente relevantes. Como resultado, se destacan algunos de los principios que sustentaron su quehacer en la escena y que a día de hoy pueden ser adecuados para un mejor arreglo de los teatros y pertinentes en la creación escénica como arte individual y colectivo.

    This paper offers an overview of some important issues in Eva Le Gallienne’s career in stage direction, her contributions to the renewal of theatre practice and organization, and their relevance at present. Accordingly, it is based upon an extensive literature review and the analysis of other particularly relevant epochal documents. As a result, it highlights some of the principles that supported her work on the stage, which may seem at this moment appropriate for a better arrangement of theatre activity and relevant to stage creation as an individual and collective art.
