- Title
Un personaggio in cerca d’autore. Cioran, l’esilio e il teatro decomposto di Matei Vişniec.
- Authors
Cicortaş, Horia Corneliu
- Abstract
The article presents several themes in the works of E. M. Cioran and Matei Vișniec, two authors who, though belonging to two different generations and cultural contexts, have in common the experience of exile, the shift in the language of self-expression from their native Romanian to French, and a strong interest in philosophical reflection on the topic of decomposition. In this regard, Cioran’s works, such as Précis de décomposition, can be read in light of The Decomposed Theatre, and vice-versa. This article draws attention to two examples of Vișniec’s dramaturgy, making use of a comparative approach to the decomposition theme in the two Franco-Romanian authors.
