Summary/Abstract: Ry Nikonova is a Russian poet, belonging to the so-called “Second culture” of the 20th century, creating in the spirit of neo-avant-garde. Together with her husband, she published in the samizdat magazine “Transponans”, which was formed in the 1970–80s. Her poetic works, stylized as theatrical plays, present the idea of syncretism of art, which according to the artist is theatre. The short, economical poems evoke monumental visions of theatre, where gestures are important – less words, the conflict between actors and spectators, and all the seemingly non-scenic spaces associated with theatre in the reader’s consciousness.
