Summary/Abstract: Maria Shevtsova's article deals with the American director Robert Wilson. Shevtsova characterises the subsequent stages of his career, describing the evolution of the director's aesthetics and the staging devices typical for his work. She writes about its beginnings, working on the boundary of dance and performance, the later mute performances lasting for hours (such as Deafman Glance) and the breakthrough Einstein of the Beach, changing the course of Wilson's international career. It was during the work on Einstein that Wilson started using the film technique of storyboarding, which he still employs and develops.
