Abstrakt: | Contemporary Bulgarian drama reveals the need and tendency to explore multidimensional
states of threat, disorientation, loss, a feeling of being unable to live life to the fullest, which either
directly or indirectly, corresponds to the experience of emptiness. The interpretation of the selected
scenarios written by three Bulgarian playwrights, S. Stratiew (1941—2000), G. Gospodinow (1968)
and E. Rachnew (1968) prove correct by depicting emptiness as a condition inseparable from the
modern/postmodern consciousness. The protagonists’ imposed or consciously adopted reflection
on the condition of identity, takes the form of a self-examination and often results in a feeling of
lack of fulfillment, failure, wasted chances, and incompleteness. |
