La mythologie des dévorations: corps mangé et corps mangeant chez Matéi Visniec
The mythology of devoration: consumed body and consuming body in Matei Visniec’s dramaturgy

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to comprehend the complexity of the "mythology" of devoration in Matei Visniec’s dramaturgy, to identify the paradigms of the consumed and the consuming body while gravitating around the concept of corporality, because the body represents a macro-sign, a matrix of meanings and the very identitary root of the individual. We attempt to emphasize the complementary dimensions of consuming, the pleasure and the terror, according to Gilbert Durand and to analyze the role played by food and the act of eating in the economy of Visniec’s theater.
