The playwriting of Dane Zajc

Prispevek se pregledno ukvarja z dramskim opusom Daneta Zajca, ki se je v slovensko literarno zgodovino zapisal ne le kot odličen pesnik, temveč tudi kot dramatik. Drame, ki jih je sam avtor skromno poimenoval "igre", namreč dopolnjujejo in odražajo njegov pesniški svet, zaznamovan z odtujenostjo in nasnut ob ideji, da je človek osamelec, obremenjen s preteklo in polpreteklo zgodovino. Poezija v Zajčevi drami predstavlja samoumeven in izrazit umetniškidel, z njo pa vstopajo v dramski prostor in čas tudi mitske, sanjske in druge vzporedne resničnosti, s katerimi avtor nakazuje razpoke v času, še bolj pa v zgodovinskem spominu, ki da spriči totalitarizmov ne bi smel zbledeti.The article is the surway of plays written by Dane Zajc, who has become part of Slovene literary history not only as an excellent poet, but also as a playwright. His dramatic pieces, refered to rather modestly by the author as "the plays", complement and reflect his poetic world, maked by alienation and concieved with an idea that humans are solitary figures burdened by past or semi-past history. In Zajc\u27s dramatic work poetry signifies a self-evident and expressive artistic part, through which also the mythical, dream-like and other parallel realities step into the dramatic space and time, with which the author indicates the cracks of time, even more so in the historical memory, which should not fade in the face of totalitarisms of the modern world
