Abstract

Theatrical performances, which emerged in the country after the Revolution of 1917 with the audience of tens of thousands of spectators, were an emblematic phenomenon of social and artistic way of life. The art of theatrical performances burst on the streets and squares, subjugating Petrograd historical architectural ensembles to the artistic design. The most prominent people of art of early XX century worked at these performances. To analyze theatrical performances in Petrograd, the Committee of Art’s Sociology was established in the Russian Institute of Art History, whose members studied mass forms of theatre arts. This paper considers the Gvozdev’s mass performance research methodology, analyzes critical and theoretical works of Gvozdev’s school representatives, who concerned theatrical performances in Petrograd of 1919-1920.
