EGO-DOCUMENT AS A SOURCE OF PERFORMANCE IN A MODERN PLAY

Abstract

In the latest dramaturgy, the so-called ego-document is often used as a plot outline, that is, a text that has as its object the circumstances of the life of the author himself and is written by a person from an egocentric position. Such an ego-document becomes a kind of ego-text: text, where only the point of view of the character performing the functions of the narrator is presented. Such a position, alien to the dramatic nature, creates a special type of performativity, which is realized both in the text itself and in readings and theatrical productions.
