The dramatic character, as forged by the Aristotelian-Hegelian tradition, got through a decomposition-recomposition process throughout the 20th century, achieving new basis and nomenclature. For that matter, we propose to investigate the pertinence of the Figure’s conception developed by Gilles Deleuze (1981) from the analysis of the Anglo-Irish painter Francis Bacon’s work and as a theoretical development of the homonymous notion formulated by Jean-François Lyotard (1979) to the analysis of a part of the modern and contemporary dramaturgies. To do so, we collate a few examples of this dramaturgy and its staging with the Baconean paintings, organizing our discussion from some of the analytical categories raised by Deleuze in his study.
