Abstract EN
This article examines Tayeb Saddīkī's distinct contribution to refashioning "indigenous" and experimental techniques of dramatic representation on stage by excavating performative modes from classical texts.
The aim of this argument is twofold : to reveal the limits of Eurocentric definitions of "modernism" or "newness" and to stress that Saddīkī's so-called "hybridized" approach in theatre is rather a new vision of reclamation based on biofacticity.
The discussion centers on Saddīkī's dramatic adaptation of three texts: Dīwān Sīdī Abderraḥmān al-Majdūb (1967), Maqāmāt Badī' al-Zamān al-Hamadhānī (1971), and Abū Ḥayyān al-Tawḥīdī (1984).
