Les communautés ukrainiennes du comté de Tulcea entre tradition et spectacle. L'objectif de l'article. L'article présente des éléments du patrimoine immatériel ukrainien de Dobroudja et les méthodes de conservation de ces objets, en particulier dans des spectacles ou des manifestations culturelles. Dans ce cas, nous avons opéré avec une distinction entre le contexte traditionnel et le contexte institutionnalisé, pour décoder différents ensembles de valeurs spécifiques. Nous avons utilisé les méthodologies de recherche suivantes: les méthodes orales (questionnaire, interview), l'observation directe et participative et la corrélation avec les histoires de vie des témoins essentiels pour la reconstitution orale de certains objets traditionnels. Le terrain de notre recherche a eu une double hypostase: la première, dans les villages, pour recueillir, reconstituer et restituer le patrimoine traditionnel et la seconde, sur la scène ou dans les festivals, pour observer et décoder les items utilisés comme représentatifs pour exprimer l'identité ethnique. Nouveauté scientifique. Pour la première fois dans les articles scientifiques de Dobroudja, nous avons étudié les éléments considérés comme représentatifs par les membres des associations ethniques ukrainiennes, d'un point de vue comparatif avec les valeurs traditionnelles pour accentuer les variations de construction de l'identité individuelle et collective. Conclusions. En analysant les différents aspects du patrimoine immatériel présentés sur scène ou dans un contexte institutionnalisé, nous pouvons classer les programmes artistiques des ensembles ukrainiens de Dobroudja comme authentiques, élaborés ou stylisés, avec différents degrés de présentation de l'identité ethnique locale. Mots-clés: Dobroudja, patrimoine immatériel, Khokhol, identité ethnique, arts de la scène. Topicality of the theme. In the last twenty years, but heritage disappears or transforms.
