Abstract
The article focuses on Pyotr Fomenko's (XNUMX–XNUMX) last theatre production — "Triptych", staged at the "Pyotr Fomenko Workshop" in XNUMX. The director combined three texts by Alexander Pushkin: "Count Nulin", "The Stone Guest" and "Scene from Faust". The performance reflected the director's main principles of working with a literary text, such as the introduction of a conditional narrator, the use of rough drafts and texts by other authors, and musical and lyrical fragments. Fractional structure of the performance gave it a poetic order and allowed to consider it within the traditions of poetic theater. While the internal connection of each of the literary texts is causal, the director complicated the structural connections and combined the texts by association, freely comparing one story with another.
