Description

Examining theatrical performance under Stalinist cultural mandates Talk of Joseph Stalin's 'show trials ' the public prosecutions in Moscow's Hall of Columns in the late 1930s is so familiar as to obscure the relationship between actual shows - in the Soviet Union's major theaters - and politics. Travesty Actors: Self and Theater in Stalinist Culture examines theatrical performance within the context of the Soviet cultural establishment's fashioning of a 'genuine Soviet person.' Boris Wolfson focuses on prominent and controversial plays by artists including Aleksandr Afinogenov Mikhail Bulgakov Yuri Olesha and Natalia Sats and the efforts of theater companies like the Moscow Arts Theater the Meyerhold Theater and the Central Children's Theater to adhere to this cultural mandate while grappling with repression censorship and conflicting interpretations of its aims. Drawing on archival materials diaries and memoirs and eyewitness accounts Wolfson greatly illuminates the achievements of Soviet theater during this harsh period and the cultural significance of artistic theories and practices for articulating and enacting ideological programs.
