Narrative elements of the dramatic text

Abstract

In this article we study the narrative elements of the dramatic text give way to the importance of narrative in the new drama. Apparently, one of the busiest roads of the theatre since the late nineteenth century is its busy narrativization, as Garcia Barrientos says. The tradition then introduces the concept of Brechtian “epicisation” and, as an alternative to this novelization and epicisation, J. P. Sarrazac raises the concept of “rhapsody”. Contemporary authors explore the limits of narrative in the new drama. Moreover, dramaturgy is forever predramatical for it returns to its origins and rich narrative or lyrical forms. In the XXI century genres merge and pollute more than ever.
