| description | The article explores the reception of ancient imagery in contemporary playwrights’ works. The study focuses on the plays “Besieged” by E. Grishkovtsev, “Two Wives of Paris” by E. Isaeva, and “Micropolis” by E. Vodolazkin. A comprehensive analysis of these works is conducted to examine the modernization of ancient images, identifying intertextual connections and individual stylistic features in the use of precedent phenomena by different playwrights. The novelty of the research lies in tracing the discursive properties of motifs and images rooted in ancient culture and reimagined in contemporary plays. The analysis demonstrates how contemporary playwrights' engagement with familiar material enriches the semantic field of new works, offering fresh perspectives on eternal themes and exploring new and unexpected connections between the past and present, myth and reality. This study is relevant for the study and development of cultural dialogue across different epochs and communities. The authors conclude that in contemporary dramaturgy, ancient images possess significant discursive potential and serve as a means of artistic exploration of modern reality. |
