Summary/Abstract: The text reflects on silence as a theatrical problem. The author considers silence / absence of speech as an unnoticed aspect of stage practice that can be conceived in order to be applied in a more efficient and meaningful process – in fact, the most important element in the construction of a performance. For the first time in the Bulgarian theatrical theory the different poetic levels of silence, its semantics, semiotics and metaphysics are distinguished. The text is abstract and is part of a larger study of the title concept.
