Summary/Abstract: This study aims at identifying a new form of theatricality within the epic writing, as an influence of the digital language and its more or less direct impact on the structure of literary discourse. Theoretical research is completed by a practical approach of the subject: the presentation of two Romanian contemporary theatre performances based on non dramatic texts: the epic novels Travesti by Mircea Cartarescu and Chemarea lui Matei by Florina Ilis. Both of the novels have been dramatized and staged into theatre performances that relied on the use of new technologies due to certain particularities of their style of writing, bringing a renewed form of theatricality to a theatre performance: the theatricality of sound.
