Abstract
The article examines the foolishness as one of the ways of a new representation of reality in art on the example of the director’s concept of Lev Ehrenburg. The author analyzes the performances of the Nebolshoy Drama Theater in St. Petersburg in the 1990-2010s, tracing the influence of the aesthetic paradigm of foolishness on the director’s method. On the basis of the analysis, the author examines the reflection of the typological features of foolishness in the work of Lev Ehrenburg: belonging to the purl world, the marginality of heroes, the search for a lost paradise, the desire to overcome the boundaries of one’s own “I”. The author indicates the possibilities for further in-depth study of the issue, in which the aesthetic paradigm of foolishness can be considered in connection with the concept of total theatricality of Nikolai Evreinov, the performative turn in modern theater, as well as in other director’s concepts (N. Kolyada, A. Artemov, K. Bogomolov, A. Adasinsky).
