МЕТАФОРИКА КИЇВСЬКОГО ЕКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНОГО ТЕАТРУ «ЗОЛОТІ ВОРОТА» ЯК ВІДЛУННЯ ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОГО ТЕАТРАЛЬНОГО ПОСТМОДЕРНІЗМУ

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to define the peculiarities of metaphorical directing of the experimental theater “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater” during the period of 1984–2014. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the first attempt to analyze the unique metaphorical vocabulary of the experimental theater “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater”. The research methodology. The historical method was used to study the history of the emergence of the metaphorics of the “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater”; the biographical method allowed for revealing the roots of V. Patsunov’s figurative language; the art critical method contributed to the analysis of artistic features of the metaphorics of the “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater”. Conclusions. The main characteristic feature of the metaphorics of the experimental theater “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater” during the period of 1984–2014 is the combination of the system of metaphorical theater with the system of psychological theater. This synthesis rests on three pillars: 1. The author’s method of generating the energy field of the play by all its components: the skill of the actor, director, scenographer and other composers of the spectacle. 2. Wholeness of director’s metaphorical vocabulary. 3. The “molecular” method of directing. All these features conditioned the practical realization by V. Patsunov of the concept of “Theater of shock” on the stage of the “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater”. Research into the unique scenic vocabulary of the “Kyiv Golden Gate Theater” during the period of 1984–2014 is of great importance to the theory and practice of theatrical art, the enrichment of lexical instrumentation of the stage and educating the new generation of domestic directing.
