Il teatro decomposto di Visniec: l'uomo che dorme e quello che vive

In this article it will be analyzed one of the first dramas written directly in the French language by Matei Vișniec, an established and well-known French-Romanian author, starting from 1987, the year of his self-exile in France due to the persecutions of the communist regime that scourged the most original intellectuals of that period. I have preferred, in the analysis of this theatrical piece, an approach as close as possible to anthropology and sociology, making use of many texts ranging from aesthetic essays to journalistic articles, to present a reading as innovative as possible on one of the many forms of individual dispossession that the author elects here, namely the distorted use of mass media, recognizing at the same time in the dense versatility of the play the stimulus for a necessarily plural reading of the dramaturgical text. The following analysis will therefore try to clarify at least one side of this fascinating drama, which is so affected by the vein of the Absurd.
