Abstract

Student theater of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) was opened in 1756, today it is considered the oldest theater in Moscow. The new history of university theater begins in 1983, when Eugenio Slavutin became director. In 1999 Moscow Open Student Theatre MOST, what means ‘bridge’ in Russian, was inaugurated. The Hispanic theme is represented in several theater shows based on the works postmodernists of Viktor Korkia, like adventure comedy Invencible Armada, Hamlet.ru and “novel of chivalry in verse” Don Quixote and Sancho Panza on the island of Taganrog. The latter served as a philosophical basis for literary slapstick: Don Quixote. Rebooted at the hospital, a hypnotic and delirious dialogue between the knight and his faithful squire in a hospital room. The figure of Don Quixote seems a new Christ, a reincarnation of Hamlet, an eternal Master of Bulgakov doomed never survive in the human world.

Keywords: student theater; university theater; theater-studio; experimental theatre; professional theater.
