Mito e tradizione nel teatro di Nina Sadur. La realtà dell'assurdo e l'assurdo della realtà

This paper examines the theatre work of Nina Vladimirovna Sadur (Novosibirsk, October 15th, 1950), Russian writer, playwriter and screenwriter, whose artistic world reflects mythological, folkloric and Christian traditions. The analysis aims to focus, through a general examination, on the mostly recurrent themes also in the light of a re-elaboration of the classics of Russian literature: the evil of living in its various manifestations, the antinomy Good-Evil, the clash between the real and the unreal, the socio-psychological discomfort.
