The aim of this article is to show the mystery of salvation that Jesus Christ brought in the category of drama in the light of the theology of the Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. Balthasar knows the criticism of the usefulness of theatrical categories expressed by F. Dürrenmatt for the theological attempt to express the drama of God and human being. The drama genre that the Basel theologian refers to is a form of art that is not adjusted to a time in which people live without regard to good and evil, and the whole undertaking is outdated and therefore not very promising. The bold attempt taken by Balthasar to open up the world of the dramatic theater for Christian theology deserves the utmost attention.
