GENRE OF REVUE IN THE ART OF THE UKRAINIAN DIASPORA: ORIGINS, CANON, NAMES, THEME

Abstract

The synthesized genre of revue in the stage activity of professional artists of the Ukrainian diaspora played the role of a unifying factor for the cooperation of musicians, artists, theater artists, writers. Firstly, it united the community, involving the American youth of Ukrainian descent in the creative process. Based on the analysis, we can highlight the figure of the director V. Shasharovskyi, who had a considerable experience in creating revues from the time of the Second World War in the theatre of small forms «Merry Lviv». He, together with former theater actors, managed to adapt part of the repertoire on the American continent, constantly updating the theme in accordance with the requirements of the time and the canons of the genre.
