Summary/Abstract: Lucian Blaga’s drama includes all the “languages”: words, dance, mimics, and sounds. It is a mythical magical performance of life, of vitality, of the metaphysical truths of the human being. The descent to the universe of myths and symbols, as well as the abundance of lyricism and metaphors, break the classical clichés, and reconstruct the dramatic text. A meaning of life is renewed in his dramatic mythosophy: man truly acquires his status of an accomplished being by reaching Knowledge and Becoming, and by living in harmony with the universe.
