| description | Yannis Ritsos’ poetry has clear, foundational, and well-studied links with the experience of the exile. His much lesser-known dramatic works share the same background, which organises though in a different, peculiar way that this article aims to present. After showing how Ritsos’ theatre often springs from a situation of internal exile, either chosen or suffered, I will follow its path to the Greek political refugees’ communities in Romania. This migration has deeply ambivalent effects: on one hand, it physically preserves Ritsos’ dramatic works, but, on the other hand, it restrains their circulation and participates in consigning them to a still lasting oblivion. Finally, I will focus on how exile related notions act on a literary level too, as major dramaturgical levers of Yannis Ritsos’ theatre. |
