Summary/Abstract: The article draws on the concept of “second degree dialogue“, coined by Maeterlinck in his programmatic essay “The Tragical in Daily Life” to denote the dialogue between the consciousness and the subconscious of the protagonists in his plays. The present text examines the application of this principle in the dramatic discourse of the drama “Strahil Fearful Outlaw” by Petko Todorov in order to prove the closeness between the Bulgarian and Belgian modernist as well as the specific way in which the Bulgarian author develops this principle using the device of metatheatre.
