As Inquietações Dannunzianas

Abstract

The vast production of Gabriele D’Annunzio shows unambiguously his consistent erudition and, therefore, would not be an exaggeration to say that he reaches his peak when devoting himself to the theater. His plays deny the bourgeois and veristic drama in the late 19th century by proposing the creation of great tragic modern myths, inspired by the Greek theater, by the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and by the Aristotle’ Poetics. The poet yearned to recover and reinvent the spirit of tragic theater, which he did with a modern language, not always understood by the public at the time. The several physical and social spaces frequented by D’Annunzio appear in all of his productions, transforming his life in true inspiration for his creations, and his experience in work of art, thus creating a favorable scenario to his existence and in response to his concerns, which will be real, complete, in the theatrical scene
