Summary/Abstract: Written under the impact of the war in Ukraine, the present text aims to verify a series of effects in a theatrical plan. The main effect: the conditions for the revival of tragedy as a theatrical genre. Such a hypothesis, of course, presupposes the reevaluation of some classical components of tragedy: the hero, the feeling of absolute injustice, the feeling of absolute loneliness, the new deities and the types of relationships that contemporary man develops in relation to them, the new dimensions of suffering, and so on. An important component of the study concerns the relationship with the Other. On the one hand, the Other as a stranger, and on the other, the other as a hidden self, with which we frequently come into conflict.
