Lecture «Contemporary puppet theatre. Body, objects, animation» by Alexey Goncharenko

PROJECT «LYCEUM»

Special program of the festival
The 15th International theatre Kingfestival  presents a series of lectures that will surely be interesting to both young theatre critics and all participants and spectators of the festival. Despite the variety of lecture topics, the authors in one way or another, return to the main theme — the development of contemporary theater, its connection with tradition, innovation and, of course, the expectations of the audience. We hope that the theater, created by the word and experience of each lecturer, will expand the boundaries of not only knowledge, but creative impulses for future works as well.  And after all, it’s just so peculiar — to know, to empathize and to engage in a dialogue on the given topics together.
Lectures are accompanied by video.

Lecture «Contemporary puppet theatre. Body, objects, animation».
Lecturer: theatre critic, PhD in art history Alexey Goncharenko (Moscow)
Contemporary puppet theater has different forms. There are performances for children of all ages and for adults. In these plays you can find elements of modern dance and performance, their creators are not afraid to be socially responsible for the selected themes. While some groups tenderly preserve centuries-old traditions, others are not afraid of bold experiments. During the lecture we will be able to evaluate the possibilities of new materials and forms. And all this, of course, will be with the video fragments from the performances
