M.A. Bulgakov and V.E. Meyerhold: to the poetics of the avant-garde form “upside down theatre” and the erotic reception of the French theatre “nude”

In this study we analyze allusion from the novel by M.A. Bulgakov “The Fatal Eggs”, which, according to most literary critics, see the relations between M.A. Bulgakov and V.E. Meyerhold. Meanwhile, the theatrical avant-garde form of “upside down theatre” and the erotic reception of the French theater “nude”, denoted in it, say the opposite. They point to the political and social and public atmosphere that denies them, which is developing in the era of J.V. Stalin’s knocking together of the indisputable sample of the imperial spectacle. While indulging the tastes of the leader to be printed, M.A. Bulgakov uses sarcasm and hints that the further development of the experimental, constructivist theater will lead to the “brilliant revolutionary-artist” (S.S. Mokulsky) to impending death.
