Abstract

Various attempts to historicize contemporary Slovene drama have doubtlessly neglected one of the important features of the Slovene absurd drama, i.e., its significance in the deconstruction of the so-called literary or drama theatre and in the manifestation of the performative turn (Fischer-Lichte) at the turn of the 1970s. Using the analysis of poetics of Peter Božič, Dušan Jovanovič, Milan Jesih, and Rudi Šeligo, the present study attempts to illustrate this seemingly paradoxical characteristic of the Slovene drama ob absurdity and absurd drama, which led to one of the gratest aesthetic revolutions (Rancière) in Slovene art and culture after World War II._
