The Poetics of the New Plays by Goran Stefanovski (Collected plays, vol. 4, ‘Tabernakul’ edition, Skopje, 2015)

Summary/Abstract: This essay aims to present certain elements, based on the three most recent plays by Goran Stefanovski (Odisej / Odysseus [2012], Ogneni jazici / Fire tongues [2013] and Figurae veneris historiae [2014]), that indicate that this Macedonian author withdraws from the dramaturgy (or poetics) of the synopsis (montage, stage performance). He is nowadays oriented towards an interdiscursive poetics of the play and theatrical performance. This essay underlines, as well, the immense interests for historical subjects and personages in his plays, presented through a marginalized and dark optics. The author manages to create his characters in an intertextual, ironic and meta-fictional constellation. This poetic twist is associated with political and ideological changes, encompassing as well the modification of official Balkan (such as the European ‘Otherness’) and European stereotypes (the Eurocentric paradigm).
