THE IMPORTANCE OF "GOGOL’S TEXT" IN DRAMATURGY OF N.V. KOLADA

The textual expression of the dialogical interaction between N.V. Kolyada and N.V. Gogol on the example of four "Gogol's" plays by Kolyada ("Old World Love", "Ivan Fedorovich Shponka and His Aunt", "Box", "Dead Souls"). The aim of the article is to analyze the forms and tasks of application of the “Gogol text” and its connection with the “author's word” in the works of N.V. Kolyada. In this article, we prove that the regular appeal of N.V. Kolyada to the texts of N.V. Gogol carried out in the form of quotations, reminiscences or allusions, is due to the similarity of the artistic methods of the two writers, based on the closeness of their aesthetic, axiological and ontological ideas. At the same time, Kolyada does not reproduce the aesthetic and ideological system of N.V. Gogol but recreates it from scratch, using the pretext as a means of identifying the meanings embedded in it, and as material for the generation of new meanings. On the one hand, N.V. Kolyada exposes Gogol's poetry of the “grim carnival” to artistic rethinking: referring to the means of “areal speech”, mask and disguise motives, grotesque images; using the principles of repeatability and illogicality, the playwright “reveals the technique”, makes obvious the presence of chaos, destructive surreal beginning, veiled in the pretext. On the other hand, Kolyada does not isolate the depicted world from the highest moral values that protagonists can acquire by going through the conditionally-symbolic awakening of the soul: this circumstance explains the complete replacement of the “other word” by “their own” in the final scenes of these plays. It is concluded that the analysis of the intertextual interaction between N.V. Kolyada and N.V. Gogol is an effective way of understanding the axiological and ontological foundations of both the "Gogol" plays of the playwright and his other works.
