Rezumat: This article aims to demonstrate that there are no boundaries that could separate arts and literature, the two fields being connected to the same aesthetic reality. The approach of Ion Băieșu’s theater reveals a surprising fictional universe in which bizarre figures live and turn into grotesque hypostases. The doctor or the healer become more than simple dramatic characters and more likely projections of tormented selves fighting against each other for a brutal and absurd purpose. In an authentic manner, these symbolic images manage to describe a sublime universe that encounters Bosch paintings by reconstructing emblematic scenes, named suggestively by the painter: Cutting the Stone (The Cure of Folly) or The Ship of Fools. In fact, the perspective is absolutely inspiring, both pictures conveying the very sense of madness as a form of being both in the writer’s and the painter’s world. This analysis-reflection will highlight the powerful connection between these two artists, trying to emphasize symbolic and truthful meanings.
