Gellu Naum and creative exasperation

Abstract

The article aims to analyse Gellu Naum’s dramaturgy in the context of Romanian surrealism. Being the only one among the representatives of the group in Bucharest who approached the field of drama, Gellu Naum has impressive artistic achievements in this regard. We propose a reconsideration of his plays in the context of his work and of the literary-historical reality as well.
