Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I analyse the plays of Belgian author Paul Willems in terms of the richness of their genre. To achieve this, I identify elements foreign to the art of classical theatre (according to Jacques Scherer’s concept). The analysis concerns the dramatic construction of the plays, the forms of the dialogue, the sequences of the paratext as well as the hermeneutical elements. In my approach, I rely on the theoretical propositions of Witold Wołowski.
