ABOUT PERFORMANCE
Boris Yukhananov will talk to the students of the Territory Festival about the process of development in culture, about the consistent patterns and metamorphoses in art and about the changes that are happening to theatre against the background of the civilizational shifts. The ultimate message of Boris Yukhananov is a heightened contradiction with the popular belief according to which theatre grew out of the Myracle-plays. In the culturological view of the world suggested by Yukhananov it is the other way around – Myracle plays grow out of theatre. The civilization having survived through a catastrophe is entering a phase of differentiation: culture breaks down and disintegrates into separate territories. In Yukhananov’s perspective art that is based on psychology is the ultimate stage of this differentiation. But this process of breakage - that is finding its end before our eyes - gives hope for the revival of those original spirits of Art. The time of differentiation is over. The time of assembly is coming. Fullness of theatre is coming back. This is a splendid challenge, a distinct mission. We are about to start using this varied collection of tools that has been revealed to culture. The feast of unity and assembly – Fullness – has already begun.
