Abstract

The history of the drama of independent Ukraine can be seen as its painful path to its own civic identity, which had different identification vectors - loyal to the empire and irreconcilable with it. Recognizing the organizational and structural impact that the activities of Anatoliy Dyachenko and his Center for Contemporary Experimental Drama had on the playwriting and theatrical environment in Kyiv in 1991-1994, we should not forget that it was thanks to him that the Ukrainian playwrighting environment was quickly “embedded” in a common cultural space with Russia, the center of which was traditionally located in Moscow, and all off-center phenomena were necessarily proclaimed peripheral. Through Anatoliy Dyachenko's students, who were realized in the space of the Russian “new drama,” the subordination of a certain part of Ukrainian playwrights to Russian playwriting standards was relevant until February 24, 2022. On the other hand, the pro-Ukrainian wing of playwrights has been focused on creating modern Ukrainian dramatic literature that would break with the Russian tradition since independence. The full-scale invasion of Russia significantly narrows the field in which playwrights loyal to the empire worked and forces them to rapidly change their own civic identity, which in the decolonial context still has to be organically based on the Ukrainian cultural matrix. Without this, we can only talk about temporary and opportunistic mimicry
