Drama of theatrealised form «performance» in the context of the main aspects of postmodernism

In the transition from the sphere of art to the field of theatrical forms performance has kept many of its particular qualities: physicality, interdisciplinarity, the dominance of the visual images, the synthesis of the arts, the operation on the border of real and artistic, spontaneity, variability, complicity audience, - inherited at the same time signs of major aspects of postmodernism of plurality, rhizome, intertextuality. Investigating the transformation in the drama of theatrealised form «performance» the author draws the following conclusions. Such elements as the composition and the conflict become blurred in the drama of performance. The main reference points of dramatic developments are: artistic and aesthetic concept - the image of the event, the specific performance goal - the creation of a certain atmosphere, characteristic of the characters and the process of their interaction with the audience, the final. Availability and fixing all of these structural elements are not necessary. Plurality, rhizome, intertextuality, spontaneity contribute to the set of parallel, separately developing plots based on the interaction with the audience; a variety of ways to develop these subjects; nonlinear perception of dramatic concept; reduce the level of scripting compared to theatrealised theatrical forms; expressed in the fragmentation, the heterogeneity of drama performances, her propensity to borrow, «collage» principle works.
