Annotation: The deconstruction of the boundaries and structure of classical drama in Russia took place in several stages: starting with Chekhov, moving through the Soviet seventies, and going right up to the plays of Petrushevskaya and Slavkin that were staged by Anatoly Vasiliev for the New Drama of the nineties. At the beginning of the 21st century, new types of theatres appeared in Russia – immersive, site-specific, inclusive types of theatre – that radically transformed the theatre space, moving away from traditional drama, the auditorium, and even the theatre building itself. How have traditional forms of theatre been deconstructed in the postmodern era? Why does art seek to blur the line between the stage and real life? Among the key figures in this book are Vsevolod Lisovskiy, Boris Pavlovich, Pavel Prjazjko, Boris Yukhananov, Dmitry Brusnikin, Ivan Vyrypaev, Mikhail Ugarov, Yury Klavdiev, and others.
