From the tragedy of silence to salvation. The power of the dramatic word

ABSTRACT: Our presentation aims to analyze the dramatic-poetic form of the piece Pierre and Mohamed while tracing the evolving concept of tragedy in literary discourse. We will explore interpretations from Aristotle's Poetics to contemporary perspectives by scholars like Paul Ricoeur (hermeneutics) and Hans Urs von Balthasar (theodramatics). In the figure of Christ as a paradigm of hospitality, friendship, and self-giving, the silence with which the tragedy concludes transforms into a word of salvific action.
