Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the subject of the connection between horror and imagination in selected contemporary theatre performances. Bearing in mind the wide potential of the discussed issue, the article focuses on stage and verbal detail, referring to the works of Marina Carr, Complicité, Ex Machina, as well as the unexpectedly current – also in the context of the war in Ukraine – Brazilian staging of Waiting for Godot at the Teatro Oficina Uzyna Uzona from São Paolo, directed by Zé Celso.
