  • The performative and (no-longer) dramatic in the theatre of Dušan Jovanović and Matjaž Zupančič
    Toporišič, Tomaž
    This paper examines how a text rhizome replaced the traditionally understood physicality of the book in the contemporary drama and theatre of two prominent Slovene theatre and drama (post)dramatists, ... Dušan Jovanović and Matjaž Zupančič. Both have demonstrated with their plays that the Slovene writing for the theatre was also headed for the waters disturbed by both the postdramatic turn and the performative turn. They bear witness to the fact that after these two turns, theatre texts tend to be in perpetual motion, in the process of semiosis. Therefore, nowadays the text in the theatre represents one of the elements in the weaving of various intertexts into a rhizome-like structure within the semiosphere of literature, theatre, and culture. The work of Jovanović and Zupančič thus played a significant role in the deconstruction of the so-called literary or drama theatre and in the manifestation of the performative turn.
