Summary/Abstract: We can often find in the works of Valère Novarina a momentous meditation on the dramatic arts, along with an elaborate interrogation of the creativity (as inspiration) and creation (as respiration). While we can translate his approach in a poetical and respiratory manner, Novarina is constantly developing a logodynamic and respiratory perspective, simultaneously based on a particular poetical inquiry and a renewal regarding the Derridean concept of “parole soufflée”. The present article was written to analyze how Novarina conceives the narrow relation between poetics and both symbolic and concrete acts of breathing. Through the writings and performances of Valère Novarina, the breathing emerges as the catalyst for the poetical force, but also as an expression of the body and space interactions in contemporary theatre. Furthermore, we will examine the novarinian perspective on the poetical embodiment of the creation as a work in progress.
