Matei Vișniec, l’homme qui voulait être un oiseau…

Abstract

In the uncertain space of contemporary theater, at the borderline of failures and successive disappointments we have to situate the plays of a writer as Matei Vișniec, born in Romania and living in France since 1984, a writer who made the transition between two types of dramaturgy: from Aesopian language and the strategies of cunning, to create finally a theater linked to existential and poetical reflexion, without leaving the ground of political implications.
