Polysemy and Search for Meaning in Dea Loher’s Adam Geist

Abstract

In the present work will be analyzed the collapse of the sense and the subsequent search of this one regarding the protagonist of the theater piece of the German dramatist Dea Loher, Adam Geist (1998). After the sense crumbles, the reality of the protagonist becomes undeterminable and polysemic. The personage adopts several identities to oppose this new reality. The space-time logic is destroyed and, because of it, there is generated a spatial expansion and a temporary compression to that the protagonist must adapt.
