The cinematic poetics of Jaroslava Pulinovich’s plays

This article discusses the interaction between cinema and literature. The analysis of theoretical works has led us to the conclusion that the images and techniques of cinematography influenced the literature of the 20th-21st century, where montages, overlaps, frames, close-ups and general plans began to be widely used by writers. At the turn of the century there was a shift in the artistic approach to drama. The poetics of modern drama is characterized by the use of experimentation, metaphors, intertextuality, hyperrealism, an emphasis on aspects of how life is portrayed, and use of literary and non-normative vocabulary. In the 1990s and 2000s, schools dedicated to the drama of the new wave appeared “Theater.doc”, “School of Modern Play”, and the Ural Drama school by Nikolai Kolyada. This article analyzes the cinematic poetics of the modern Ural playwright Yaroslava Pulinovich (plays How I Became, The New Year Adventures of Gena and Uibaan). The analysis showed that the author’s plays display means of cinematic expressiveness at various levels. At the compositional level, the author actively uses text visualization, graphic design and text division, montage, influx, and the disconnectedness of artistic space and time. At the syntactic level, cinematographic poetics are manifested by the use of analytical and emotional syntactic constructions.
