Abstract
Innovative directorial solutions in modern drama theater are still the subject of active study.
Researchers are particularly interested in introducing multimedia technologies in theatre production. However, despite the fact that such performances have already become a common
theater practice, many issues and aspects remain poorly understood. One of the most important
questions is the functionality of multimedia stage techniques in a theatrical play.
On the example of Saratov Drama Theatre's production "A Woman from the Past", staged
in 2017 by director A. Sozonov, the author of the article analyzes the work of multimedia technologies,
the director's search for the choice of multimedia stage techniques, the influence on
the audience, as well as some features of the actor's existence in the play using multimedia.
The study reveals the director's methods that enable him to work with stage and virtual space
at a new level and influence the audience by creating a certain atmosphere in a play.
This work is one of the first experiences in exploring the functions of multimedia stage
techniques in modern dramatic performance.
