Teatralitatea limbajului în poezia lui Marin Sorescu
The theatricality of language in Marin Sorescu’s poetry

Summary/Abstract: In Marin Sorescu’s poetry and particularly At Lilieci are absolutely unique in the Romanian literature field. His poems are now in the contemporary sources of inspiration for filmmakers and they are the fundamental basis of the theatre scenarios. Popular and innovative language provides a strange note of popular and cultivated authenticity in performing arts. The dramatic situations of his poems lead to an original way of suggesting things, not by un-naming them but paraphrasing the words that call for their presence, as Mallarmé recommended, but on the contrary, highlighting one surprising detail in his unusual concrete aspect. After Eliot, postmodernists compel the verse to reassume its narrative function, considered to be foreign from its vocation which was essentially lyrical. Sorescu’s endeavor is that of radicalizing this approach to its extreme limits: he sets his characters to talk about themselves in their weedy language but theatrical.
