Summary/Abstract: The author of more than thirty plays, Jon Fosse is among the most interesting, provocative, and staged contemporary playwrights. His drama occupies a special place between his prose and poetry. A subject of interest in this text is its genre fluidity, which – as I will try to show – makes possible the transition from the play to its prose and its poetry. The analysis is limited to one of Fosse‘s first plays – “The Name” (Namnet, 1995) and one of the last – “This is” (Slik var det, 2020), as well as on one of the director‘s approaches to staging the plays and his prose. Namely that of Luk Perceval in his 2001 productions of “Dream of Autumn” (Draum om hausten, 1999) and on “Trilogy” in 2019 (Trilogien. Andvake, Olavs draumar, Kveldsvævd, 2014).
