Abstract

The purpose is to study the role of scenery in the scenographic space of theatre and cinema, as well as the peculiarities of the creation of scenery in screen and stage culture. The main methods that used in the study were synthesis, comparison, typological method, generalization, and art-historical analysis. The study acknowledges the significance of scenographic activity in theatre and cinema. The study explores the role of scenery in the scenographic space and emphasises the unique features of scenery creation in screen and stage culture. Special attention is paid to the relevance of the use of digital and immersive technologies in theatre and cinematic scenery, as well as the problems of their application in the military situation in Ukraine. This work delves into the formation of the cultural "code" within decorative art and traditional stage costumes among the Ukrainian population. It examines the intricacies of blending traditional and modern approaches in the creation of scenery within the theatre and screen culture of Ukraine. These findings shed light on the resilience and adaptability of Ukrainian theatre and film practitioners in the face of adversity, emphasizing their commitment to preserving and evolving their artistic heritage.
