Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: For the first time in academic literature the theatrical presentation of texts by Yakub Gavatovych in the town of Kamyanka-Strumylova in the year 1619 is viewed as the case of a site-specific theatre from the early-modern epoch. Using available historical accounts and information, the author describes the main parameters of the place and surroundings where the play was performed, specifically those of the fair itself. It is proposed to consider this action not so much in the categories of aesthetics but of its societal dimension, taking into account the national and social composition of the attending public. With reference to a typical court case of the times, the study establishes a direct connection between the realities of the fair and the plot of Yakub Gavatovych’s interludes.
