Формування «ексцентричної» поетики авангардистського театру: «Бик на даху» Жана Кокто – Дарьюса Мійо

Abstract

Purpose of the study is to deep the research of the 1920th vanguard theatrical culture, concentrating on the problem of its “eccentric” poetics’ forming. The study is based on the creative activity by Jean Cocteau – one of the leaders of the first third of the 20th century “artistic revolution”, in particular, on his pantomime “Bull on the Roof” with the music of the “Six” member Darius Milhaud (1920), which was the next artist’s experiment for the French stage “cabaretization”. The methodology of the study combines the elements of the historical-cultural, historicalreconstructive and structural-analytic methods. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the lighting up of the points, which were insufficiently investigated by the native theatrical science, and in bringing into Ukrainian theatrical researches general use Jean Cocteau creative achievements in the French decade beginning music-&-dramatic theatre. Conclusions. Forming of the “eccentric” poetics process, or so called “cabaretization” of the European and Soviet stage in 1920th, became an evident token of the vanguard theatrical culture. It was one of the first provocative plots of the theatre innovation and an important step of the general cultural advancement. Searching the different ways to enrich the stage vocabulary is an actual question of the contemporary theatre. Therefore a different-level analysis of the history of culture “turning points”, when the new esthetics is born, leaves one of the most resultative methods to precipitate the today’s corresponding process.
