The language of ritual has a vital stylistic role in Šeligo's dramatic works, because it represents the forgotten primeval source of language as the emotional link between man and the cosmos. The primary function of language is the call, the urge which entices the cohabitation of mortal man and all things which once come to pass yet are still present as an integral part of the cosmos. Therefore the language of rituals is a symbolic, mythical languageand focuses in the time when it was not yet formed by the strict rationalism of a consumer society.
