Summary/Abstract: This article proposes, on the basis of an incursion in the work of the Romanian poet and prosaist Vasile Voiculescu, a meditation addressed to the practitioner of theatrical art on the need for understanding and exploitation of the written word in order to offer expressiveness to the spoken word. The importance of the “sense of speech” is underlined by one’s need for meaning and significance in its ontological trajectory, and this is accompanied by a heightened attention given to the symbol, the religious act, the myth, and the legend. The work of Vasile Voiculescu is the perfect framework in which the Actant, the living story maker, can practise his vocal capacity – thus understanding not only the possibility of articulation and sound emission, but also consciousness, feeling, meaning and sacredness, in order to dig up the essence, the primitive substance of the theatrical act - the sacrament of sharing and confession.
