Abstract

The relevance of the study is determined by the urgent need to reconsider the Chornobyl disaster in various arts, such as cinema, music, painting, and literature. The latter provides an opportunity to present the connection between the macroscale of the event and the micro-level of personal history. The problem of the role of addiction in the artistic understanding of Chornobyl as a nation's trauma is examined in the article. The subject of the study is the addictive behaviour of the main characters in the analysed plays. The goal is to analyse the poetics of artistic models of addictions caused by the Chornobyl disaster based on the material of two plays: “Canon” by Hryhorii Shton and “At the Beginning and the End of Time” by Pavlo Arie. Psychological analysis, poetic, and modelling methods were used to achieve the goal. As a result of the study, in the two plays, we see similar markers which point to characters-addicts – compulsive behaviour, denial, loss of reality, and creating an alternative reality. However, the playwrights choose different tools for constructing artistic models of addiction. Hryhorii Shton gradually superimposes techniques onto each other during the creation of the image of Antin. First, he uses flashbacks. Later the playwright uses deliriums which are revealed using digressions. Also, a unique tool is hallucinations, which are not part of the structure of the text of the play, but their consequences can be traced in the character’s actions. Instead, Pavlo Arie uses extended emotionally coloured monologues in the construction of the image of Baba Prisia. The unique method of forming the image of a woman is the introduction of a surreal fictional story. The novelty lies in the analysis of the poetics of creating artistic models of addictive behaviour and the expression of distinctive artistic approaches in reinterpreting the nature and consequences of the Chornobyl disaster depending on the generational affiliation of the playwrights.
