This essay is an interested essay because this essay was rejected by the New York Times and The Village Voice in United States. The reason of rejection is the editor cannot understand the contents of the essay. Although this essay was not published by the famous newspaper, but in the end, this essay was published in Black Dialogue, a special newspaper of the African-American. Therefore, black American?s racism, discrimination and the using of words is then become the backgound of this research. The purpose of this research is to understand the meaning and the content in the essay. Hence, the author uses the theory of hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer to analyze this research. This theory consists of four stages, they are Historically effected consciousness, Preunderstanding, Fusion of Horizon and hermeneuticsal circle, and Application. This is a qualitative research with an objective criticism as a method of analysis. This analysis explains the first phase of which to parse back the effects of historical consciousness and pre-understanding of an interpreter into the author and text. After the first phase passed then an interpreter analyzes the scope that exists around the text and the author. The last, an interpreter analyzes directly the essay of Revolutionary Theatre. This process is important because to get a true understanding an interpreter must go through four stages. According to Gadamer these stages then bring an interpreter to get an understanding on the level of meaningful sense.
