Extensii ale expresionismului în drama blagiană
Expressionist influences in Lucian Blaga’s Dramaturgy

Summary/Abstract: This essay aims to present critical issues about adaptation of Lucian Blaga’s imaginary to the rigors of Expressionism. Reference work is the last literary drama of Lucian Blaga, Anton Pann, published only in 1965, even if the manuscript was almost finished in 1945. We intend to explain that this is not about an expressionist foundation itself but rather about generating expressionist substrates, about extensions of encoded major Expressionism. This drama brings absolutely provocative reading exercises for the reader, because the track is prone to various scales of interpretation. Lucian Blaga’s character experiences love, poet and troubadour condition, exceeding the limits, passionate entry in the huge show of the world where he do not find agreement, predisposition to wisdom and philosophy. He is missing original condition but the effect is opposite to the character: he acquires the consciousness of superiority and of guilt. Quite a few critical studies have examined the possible belonging of the character to the typology of expressionist level. Lucian Blaga himself left thinking will about certain fundamental symbols accompanying the Poet as a social and artistic model. It is interesting to analyze how Blaga manages to unite Expressionist form of the symbol with the Romanian rustic background. We try to follow the destiny of some characters of this drama especially in this respect: to see how they can perform originally with a certain background but still joining the philosophical level.
