ПОМЕЃУ МИМЕЗАТА И ФИКЦИЈАТА – МАКЕДОНСКИТЕ И БУГАРСКИТЕ ПИЕСИ НА АПСУРД
BETWEEN MIMESIS AND FICTION - THE MACEDONIAN AND BULGARIAN DRAMA OF THE ABSURD

Summary/Abstract: The opposition of the real and the fictitious draws one of the main lines in the literary history. Fiction - or fictitious literature - makes up an autonomous world, created by the author, equivalent to the real world. The issue of fiction and realism is especially expressed in the field of the art of drama/theatre. Although the theatrical discourse, the text and the performance are, generally speaking, mere fiction, because they have been made up, this distinction is especially important for the anti-theatre, or the theatre of the absurd, which endeavours to systematically oppose the old norms and conventions, the realism/naturalism above all.. The main representatives of the anti-theatre (E. Jonesco, S. Becket, A. Adamov), as well as the Macedonian (D. Solev) and Bulgarian authors (P. Doinov, E. Rahnev), use a procedure of mixing fictitious and realistic elements in their pieces: even though at times they make references to a recognizable real environment and situation of a family life (the situation of lonely married couples, with details of their daily lives), still it is clearly indicated that it is truly a fictitious picture of these relationships, which is manifested by the nondefined place and time and the relations of the married partners brought up to the level of a grotesque through their specific dialogues.
