Abstract

This article focuses on one of the few dramas of Matei Vișniec analysing the effects of war (in this case the Yugoslavian one) on the innocents. It is through their superposing voices that the dramatist expresses all the horror and conflict, also utilizing characters that coincide in one person and that are different to one another by intentions and by "sources". The victim and protagonist assume - willingly or not - two incorporeal voices, the foetus' and the Balkan's men. All of this happens inside the context of the Yugoslav war (1991-2001), which forced many to flee abroad to escape persecutions dictated by a profound and unbridled political hate.
