Having sought refuge in Hexagon (1987) and considering France a ”mental homeland”, Matei Vișniec managed to build an outstanding international career showing a multifaceted writing prowess. He began his literary activity as a poet being a member of the Monday club, contaminated by the 80’s insurgence, but his fame is linked to his dramatic production. Reconciling fiction (in a „greedy” quest to conquer the world) with his journalism in which he exposed the „misery of our society”, Matei Vișniec a „producer of the unusual” lives with imaginative frenzy in „two spaces”. Having Romanian roots and finding a matrix in the Rădăuți topos as an ethnic mozaic coupled with French wings, Vișniec’s literature poetically infused by Dadaic precocity and existential absurd, lives through a feverish cultural commute bridging the two spaces.
