Plot of repression and apathy in the 1990s repertoire

Abstract

The article talks about repression and apathy in dramatic works included in the repertoire of the Azerbaijani theater in the 1990s of the last century. In those years, dramas were staged dedicated to the bloody repressions of the 1930s. On the other hand, the Karabakh events that began shortly before created a tense psychological atmosphere in the republic. This circumstance played an important role in the interpretation of the artistic solutions of dramatic works dedicated to these events. The article talks about the works of such playwrights as Shikhali Gurbanov, Nabi Khazri, Ilyas Afandiyev, Nahid Hajizadeh, and analyzes the director’s plan and the acting.
