ABSTRACTS IBOLYA MaczAk The legend of the antelope. A Pilinszky symbol In Pilinszky’s poems, plays, and in his unrealized film and novel drafts we find an antelope — together with many other, related motifs. In my study I use several groups of sources to explore what it might mean in Pilinszky’s symbolic language, and how it is connected to the works of Rilke, the music of György Kurtág, the material of the Christian Museum in Esztergom — and a tapestry in Paris.

In the poets view, it is poetry that allows the performance to be truly present on stage. Pilinszky’s writings reveal that theatre, which he considered poetic, strives to capture timelessness, stories and states told in images that break with linear time.
