Culture Zero

The previous book of the famous critic and historian of the theater Marina Davydova “The End of the Theater Age” was published in the middle of the zero. The current - “Zero culture” - covers the time from the middle of the zero to the present day. This is a continuation of the conversation, begun in the first book, but the conversation is now not only about the theater. In “Zero culture” you can find journalism, household essays, literary essays, acting portraits, and reviews of the performances of the most important directors of the European theater from Christopher Martaler to Jan Fabra, and the conversation about the main characters of the Russian scene and the conversation about the main characters The domestic scene is K. Bogomolov, D. Volkostralov, K. Serebrennikov, B. Yukhananov ... Despite the genre scatter, the texts are mounted so that common vectors and common topics of time appear in them. The author seems to insist: the current space is no longer distinguished by tough partitions - here is the theater, and here is contemporary art, here is aesthetics, and here is politics, here is art, and here is life. In fact, readers are offered a new type of theater studies, where the theater is only a starting point for reflection on a variety of topics, a magic crystal that allows you to better see a kaleidoscope of the era
