Summary/Abstract: Vișniec's theater is a synthesis theater in which the parody, the lyricism, the ontological, the grotesque, the fatality merge into a compact form, maintaining a balance that gives authenticity to the dramatic writing.The ordinary, the ordinary fact, what surrounds the contemporary man naturally becomes the subject of an introspective analysis of existence, translating them into dramatic situations. You cannot speak of a mere copy of the trivial. The playwright captures the facts by passing them through the deforming filters of the absurd, through which the often grotesque attitude of the characters takes on an air of normality. If in Chekhov, the heroes are aware of their fate and in this way they motivate their non-combatant attitude, in Vișniec they only find it and they simply submit without conscience processes.
