The sonorous world of Mircea Eliade’s „theatrical” prose works

Summary/Abstract: In some of Mircea Eliade's fantastic prose works, centered around theater and performance - prose that can be considered, themselves, as true dramatic scripts - the sound clues take up a very important place, alongside the visual suggestions. The main elements of creating the sound dimension in these proses are the voice, the choral effects, the evoked instruments, the noises, as well as the references to music and certain musical pieces. The vocal way of treating the characters (whisper, murmur, speech, shout, cheers, song, etc.) is consistent with both the character and the dramatic situation in which they evolve. Also, the noises are varied and suggestive, each short story having a certain sound specificity. Noises spatialize the discourse and give a note of reality / presentification of the action in these proses. Selected from the context, they could give rise to a real "score" of concrete music.
