The Raw Language: An Effect of the Real?
The article examines the use of raw, everyday, and street language in theater as a means to produce a more convincing effect of reality, livelier energy, and complex poetic force. It argues that without transformation, this raw language, described as the linguistic equivalent of ugliness, exhausts its aesthetic potential rather than inventing a language capable of recreating the world. Examples are drawn from the repertoire of the former Eastern Europe.
