Metatheatrical strategies in contemporary Belarussian drama

Abstract

The article was aimed at analyzing the phenomenon metatheatricality in the modern Belarusian drama The sources of construction of meta theater date back to intermedia. Just as they are intended to diversify art the framework. therefore songs, dance, music inserts and conventional scenes play an important role in them. The second type, which originates from the prologue is the theme of the theater within the theater, often used for presenting artistic views of the author. Metadramaticality can hardly be considered only in terms of formal although undoubtedly changes the style of the dramatic text. It simultaneously implements aesthetic evaluation (accurate or caricatured, grotesque reflection of external reality or the reality of work of art and, which seems to be the most important), it becomes an expression of the philosophy and the world outlook of the author, an expression of the way they see and interpret the crucial relationship between the real world and the world presented.
