Summary/Abstract: It is important to mention since the very beginning that the dramatic text is in fact a form of written dialogue meant to illustrate an action. Within the written works, one must make the difference between the theatrical and dramatic language. If the theatrical language (typical with theatre performance) is the result of a build-up of sub-systems - decor, music, dance, lights - which create communication at a level of representation by merging together, the dramatic language can function as a literary text. The central axis in a theatrical performance is represented, from the very beginning to this day, by the dramatic text: “Without a dramatic text there is no theatrical performance; there can be created a performance without lights, sounds, music, decor, movements etc., but the nature of this performance would not be dramatic anymore, but choreographic.”.(Haja, 1998, 89 )
