Summary/Abstract: Victor Papilian’s drama, obviously inferior to his short stories and novels, due to the rhetoric language, lack of conflict’s consistency, various irrelevant moments and episodes inserted throughout the text and scientific style of writing, has its valuable impact on the Romanian inter-war literary space, especially for the innovations it presents. The new approaches are to be found in terms of literary techniques, new interpretations for the already used literary themes, the creation of deep psychological tensions, as well as new approaches of themes with tradition in the Romanian literary space. Papilian's theater thus fits in the specific direction of the inter-war literary moment, whose complexity of forms and formulas will lay the foundations of modernism.
