Summary/Abstract: Matei Vișniec’s dramatic universe is characterized by its frequent mises en abyme and metalepsis. Therefore, total or partial reflections of the work in the work, as well as transgressions between reality and fiction, or between the different levels of fiction in the same work are frequent. In this specular and metaleptic kaleidoscope, the encounters between the author and the characters are particularly relevant. These encounters reveal the author’s attitude towards power and censorship, as well as his subversive methods. However, they are also related to the deep tensions of the author’s creative process.
