Round Table “From Text to Game...”: Talk About Today and Eternal. Reportage

The constant attention to dramaturgy at the Department of History of Contemporary Russian Literature and Modern Literary Process is associated with the scholarly heritage of its former head, Doctor of Philology, Professor B.S. Bugrov (1936-2002). He brought the plays of Russian symbolists back from oblivion, published the plays by L. Andreev, explored modern drama, and directed his students along this path. The round table, reviewed in this article, brought together colleagues whose academic interests were in one way or another connected to the theater and drama. The problems of theatrical and dramatic language and the synthesis of arts; innovations in drama and theater of the 20th and 21st centuries; representative texts by contemporary playwrights; adaptations of plays for theater and cinema, as well as non-dramatic material for the stage; reception of Russian drama outside Russia; contribution of B.S. Bugrov to the study of dramaturgy of the 20th century were discussed.
