In one of his plays entitled Hölderlin Alfonso Vallejo establishes direct and indirectconnections with life and poetry of romantic poet Friedrich Hölderlin. We analyse traces one author in writings of another using the theory of anxiety of influence by Harold Bloom. The process of self-understanding and comprehension of the art leads, according to Bloom, through a number of stages: clinamen, tessera, kenosis, demonisation, askesis and apophrades. We try to detect techniques used by Vallejo in his artistic pattern and determine what are aesthetic and formal consequences of his endeavor.
Theatre of Alfonso Vallejo presents complex psychic processes and therefore is barely realistic, on the contrary, it is based upon surrealistic visions adequate to diversity of human being. Although it seems chaotic, this chaos re-sembles network of infinite connections that produce, as a consequence, infinite number of questions and possible answers. To interpret the complexity of Val-lejo's dramas we use theory of fractals and self-similarity in play Fly-by.
