INTERPRETATIONS OF THE AESTHETIC MYTH IN THE ROMANIAN DRAMA. ADRIAN MANIU AND MARIN SORESCU

Summary/Abstract: If Adrian Maniu isolates the moment of repeated collapsing of the walls in order to point to a conflict quite frequent in the expressionist theatre ‒ the world of mythology versus the modern world, with implacable possibility of regression to the archaic, to the origin, Marin Sorescu brings about ‒ within an expressionist vein arising from neomodernity ‒ the ironical and tragical-ironical dimension in relationship to artist's/creator's role, harder to surface in a world indifferent to spirituality and sacrifice. This is how the popular ballad, a blueprint for the esthetic myth, gets enriched with new hues giving birth to more and more refined and unexhausted actualizations of its message.
