Summary/Abstract: One of the waiting spaces in Matei Visniec’s dramaturgy is the battlefield. Most of the characters created by Matei Vişniec are forced to wait in different spaces (waiting room, battlefield, cell, boarding house, cellar, hospital, city, fountain, etc.), without understanding what are they waiting for. The characters live in fear, they do not find the strength to believe and act to find a solution. The fear felt by the characters gradually turns into anguish and culminates in alienation. Trying to find their enemy, constantly seeking to highlight the vices and mistakes of those around them, Vişniec's characters discover that evil, hell is inside of them.
