Abstract

The section is devoted to the activities of professional theater artists of the diaspora in the second half of the 20th beginning of the 21st centuries. Diaspora artists aimed to preserve and increase their professional experience. Being far away from the homeland, they tried to live in the spiritual, cultural and national traditions of their people, involving participation of the young generation born outside the country. One of the most important tasks is to teach the Ukrainian literary language by means of the performing arts, to acquaint with the best examples of the spiritual and cultural heritage of Ukrainians, in particular in the field of speech, drama, music, and so on.

The works of T. Shevchenko, I. Franko and Lesia Ukrainka are in the forefront of the repertoire of theaters (studios, circles). From the standpoint of ideological principles related to the consolidation of Ukrainians abroad, it should be considered as a program goal of creative activity.

Poetry and prose of different genres with the collective and individual stage embodiment took on the varied forms of «poetic theater», «theatrical spectacle», «literary concert», «literary program», and «mono-theater». In addition, some reader performances (in diaspora periodicals – recitation) are part of «memory evenings», «anniversary evenings», «festive academies», etc. The genre of «melodeclamation» is also widespread among the diaspora environment.
