Abstract(s)
The article discusses the impact of digital technologies on the art of dramaturgy, focusing on the changes that have taken place in the landscape of Russophone drama in the 21st century. Special emphasis is placed on the role of Lubimovka, the annual festival of Russian-language plays as a platform for the collection, presentation, and distribution of dramatic content, as well as for public discussions about both the plays themselves and the social issues they reflect. The author argues that the connection between the theatre and contemporary drama has been weakened recently, and proposes a scientific hypothesis about drama's functioning as an independent, para-theatrical form of artistic expression in the digital age. Additionally, the article analyses how digital technologies have transformed the process of creating and organising documentary drama.
