Theatrical performance “Day of the City” as a modification of the side effects of ritual

Abstract

The article deals with mass theatrical performances dedicated to the City Day holiday, which is widespread in modern mass culture. The choice of topics is due to the importance of modern forms of social identification of the subject, the search for which is very acute at difficult moments in the development of culture and society. Theatrical performances are considered by the authors within the framework of mass culture as one of the manifestations of mass media, since constantly emerging new public holidays begin to line up according to the laws of ritual actions, endowed with symbolic meaning. That is why in modern festive culture there is a clear interest in the reconstruction of ritual forms that underlie theatrical performances and holidays. One of such modifications of family and household and, at the same time, calendar and ritual actions is the Day of the City. The article gives examples of the most characteristic theatrical performances dedicated to the Day of the City of Moscow in different years.
