Matei Vișniec. Spațiul românesc al dramaturgiei postdecembriste – teatrul postdramatic

The present paper proposes the analysis of the dramatic work of Matei Vișniec – a Romanian poet and prose writer, built and validated by the French center as an internationally exportable playwriter, by following the aesthetic-political relationship. I question, above all, the reasons why the parabolic formula is the favorite in the author’s dramaturgy – its causes and effects, in relation to the ideological level and the thematization of the trauma of the communist (/totalitarian) regime. The thesis of my article is that, behind the parable (which implies a form of mediation) and the discursive metaphorism, respectively an apparent aesthetic gratuity, there is a political thesis that can be reinterpreted, reframed by both target audiences: Eastern and Western. Thus, the playwright built at the center and imported by the Romanian periphery accumulates symbolic capital from both territories, defined as a successful as a transnational author.
