On some theatrical aspects of Marina Cwietajewa’s poems

Halina Mazurek

Abstract

Cwietajewa’s lyrics is discussed in the article from the perspective of its relation to the art of theatre. As the basis for such an understanding of her poems was a strong emotional marking, dynamisms, a battle of contradictions deriving from Cwietajewa’s unconventional approach to commonly-known events, myths and threads. It was assumed that the poetry in
question was focused on conflict and dialogue with a reader as it was provocative, demanded reaction, and answer to the questions it asked.
Special attention should be paid to word economy and persistent work with it in order to receive the biggest number of meaning shadows from it. The word-gesture, a psychological subtext, a special role of rhetorical means, expression, confrontation of viewpoints, stageability, monologue mastership, a dialogue nature of a monologue, the poet’s ability to transform herself — all this constitutes a theatrical shape of her poems.
