Analysis starts later…” Yury Lyubimov, 8 August 1988 The first production I saw by Yury Lyubimov was The Possessed in London in 1985. At that time I was an undergraduate, fascinated by theatre in general, obsessed with Dostoevsky, and about to become possessed by the idea of investigating the career of this director, who had been filling the newspapers for several years with entirely non-artistic headlines, when he was first stripped of his post, then of his Party membership, and finally of his Soviet citizenship.

  • The Theatre of Death: the Uncanny in Mimesis Tadeusz Kantor, Aby Warburg, and an Iconography of the Actor; Or, Must One Die to Be Dead?
    The Theatre of Death: The Uncanny in Mimesis Tadeusz Kantor, Aby Warburg, and an Iconography of the Actor; Or, must one die to be dead? Mischa Twitchin Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. 1 The Theatre of Death: the Uncanny in Mimesis (Abstract) The aim of this thesis is to explore an heuristic analogy as proposed in its very title: how does a concept of the “uncanny in mimesis” and of the “theatre of death” give content to each other – historically and theoretically – as distinct from the one providing either a description of, or even a metaphor for, the other? Thus, while the title for this concept of theatre derives from an eponymous manifesto of Tadeusz Kantor’s, the thesis does not aim to explain what the concept might mean in this historically specific instance only. Rather, it aims to develop a comparative analysis, through the question of mimesis, allowing for different theatre artists to be related within what will be proposed as a “minor” tradition of modernist art theatre (that “of death”). This comparative enquiry – into theatre practices conceived of in terms of the relation between abstraction and empathy, in which the “model” for the actor is seen in mannequins, puppets, or effigies – is developed through such questions as the following: What difference does it make to the concept of “theatre” when thought of in terms “of death”? What thought of mimesis do the dead admit of? How has this been figured, historically, in aesthetics? How does an art of theatre participate

    ILKHOM IN TASHKENT: FROM KOMSOMOL-INSPIRED STUDIO TO POST-SOVIET INDEPENDENT THEATER By Zukhra Kasimova Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Charles Shaw Second Reader: Professor Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection 1 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to research the creation of Ilkhom as an experimental theatre studio under Komsomol Youth League and Theatre Society in the late Brezhnev era in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbek SSR. The research focuses on the controversies of the aims and objectives of these two patronage organizations, which provided an experimental studio with a greater freedom in choice of repertoire and allowed to obtain the status of one of the first non-government theaters on the territory of former Soviet Union. The research is based on the reevaluation of late- Soviet/early post-Soviet period in Uzbekistan through the repertoire of Ilkhom as an independent theatre-studio. The sources used include articles about theatre from republican and all-union press. CEU eTD Collection 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my research advisor, Professor Charles Shaw, for encouraging me to focus on Soviet theatre developments in Central Asia, as well as for his guidance and tremendous support throughout the research process.

  • Send in the Clowns Shakespeare on the Soviet Screen by Ronan Paterson
    Send In The Clowns Shakespeare on the Soviet Screen By Ronan Paterson After the Russian Revolution the new government embraced the cinema with a passion which few other countries could match, Lenin himself commenting that “… of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important…” (quoted in Taylor and Spring, 1993, ix). The silent cinema offered a medium which did not discriminate amongst viewers no matter which of the many languages they spoke from within the new Soviet Union. But while in the West silent films based on Shakespeare’s plays were widely producedi, this was not the case in Russia, despite thei country’s long established fascination with Shakespeare in the theatre. Immediately after the Revolution Shakespeare’s position was uncertain, some asserting “…that writers of the old order would have no place in a classless community, which would require only classless literature, produced by its own writers free of the ballast of bygone days…” (Gibian,1952, p24). But Shakespeare had powerful defenders. Alexander Blok and Maxim Gorky were strong advocates. Blok became one of the directors of the first theatre to be opened after the revolution, in Leningrad. When that theatre opened in 1918 Much Ado About Nothing was presented in its first season. Gorky called on young Soviet writers to create: ‘…an image of the “teacher of the revolutionary rights of the working class”, [and directed attention to] the practice of Shakespeare, in whose plays there are indeed many characters who speak out passionately and boldly in favour of new ideas giving an example by actions which set them above the canons of behaviour acceptable for their day and age… particularly..the gay heroes and lovely heroines of his comedies with their dauntless frankness in the face of their enemies and their readiness to stand up for their beliefs, if necessary by force of arms…’ (Gorky, On Plays, quoted in Samarin.

    SPRING 1991 217 Book Reviews Modernism to Realism on the Soviet Stage, Tairov-Vakhtangov-Okhlopov. By Nick Worrall. Cambridge University Press, 1989. The Theater of Yuri Lyubimov, Art and Politics at the Taganka Theater in Moscow. By Alexander Gershkovich. Trans. Michael Yurieff. Paragon House, 1989. The Soviet years of Russia's theatrical life have produced relatively little in the way of great dramatic texts-playwrights are particularly susceptible to the wrath of the censor or the pressures of the political machine. The director, rather, has been the guiding spirit of twentieth-century Soviet theatre as it has frequently led the world in innovation and experimentation. Two recent books, one by Nick Worrall, the other by Alexander Gershkovich, attempt to place four directors in a historical context while critically evaluating their varying styles and approaches. Each author provides biographical information, excerpts from critical reviews, commentary from the directors themselves, photographs and sketches, timelines, and descriptions of significant productions. Although WorralPs scholarly and systematic style differs considerably from Gershkovich's more ebullient and laudatory writing, the books are both substantial complements to already-existing accounts of the work of the more famous Meyerhold and Stanislavsky. Worrall's text, Modernism to Realism on the Soviet Stage, devotes a chapter each to the directing careers of Alexander Tairov, Evgene Vakhtangov, and Nikolai Okhlopkov. Their names, while familiar still to Soviet theatregoers, are largely unknown to many theatre generalists who associate the post-revolutionary years in the Soviet Union with the rise and fall of Vsevolod Meyerhold. Indeed, the figure of Meyerhold hovers over the lives of these three men, influencing them in their struggles to create new forms for a new society.
