Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to reveal the way in which Matei Visniec has re-interpreted the plays of Cehov and Beckett. As space of intertextuality, his writings reorganize time and space of human existence, the characters are engaged in a continuous dialogue which ends with the missing solution. The author proposed an experimental theater and his starting point is the Chekhovian's waiting. That's why the action of his plays is replaced by an expectation of the characters, pointless and without term as a form of repetition of clichés existence. Everywhere, the characters are surprised, angry, asks, humble themselves justified. Thus, the human being can not be detached from daily to seek refuge in art.
