Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to reveal the relation between reality (death) and fiction (hope, dream) in plays written by Matei Visniec. These two are never completely split, they intertwine and they empower one another. A lot of characters are waiting în different places, for something. At the beginning they don’t have any idea about the purpose of their waiting, but they don’stop doing that. 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.
