Summary/Abstract: The questions of retention and identity confirm their actuality in a somewhat longer period of constituting of the Macedonian dramatic literature. Nowadays, it comes down to a certain ’explosion of a memory‘ that infers a challenge of creative reconstruction, reevaluation of the cultural past, as its revision and reinterpretation, that is, re-semanticizing of the works from the past. The goal of this approach is each generation to be able to offer its own understanding of the past. Now, instead of namby-pamby, an open mockery, grotesque overdimensioning of the past characters and events are being offered, so one gets the impression that such ’play‘ with the values of the past, makes a check on the preserved retention and identity.
