This article deals with the neo-avantgarde experiments at the intersection of literature and music performed by the Nomenklatura group in the 1970s. Their research of word and sound (underpinned by Saussure's linguistics and Heidegger's philosophy), is explored in the context of literary avantgardism. As a good platform for a discussion of the aesthetics of the performative, literary avantgardism importantly contributed to the redefinition of the role of the text and form of (dramatic) writing in Slovene theatre.
