Dramolets are often conceived as resistant to, or at least ironically challenging towards the very notion of performing them. The discussion here uses insights from performativity theory to offer a reading of these works as political, resistance writing. In particular, Fian{\textquoteright}s and Lukas/Gerhard{\textquoteright}s publications present an ironically deconstructed version of the late, right-wing, Austrian politician and controversial populist leader, J{\"o}rg Haider.",
