Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to reveal the way in which waiting is seen by different characters who, without any sense, are waiting for something that never will come. So, the action of the plays is replaced by an expectation of the characters. As space of intertextuality, Matei Vișniec’s writings reorganize time and space of human existence, the characters are engaged in a continuous dialogue, but without any solution. The characters can’t explain their presence in a closed space, they want to leave, but they are not able to do that. They live in constant fear. What are they waiting for? The end of their lives.
