Abstract
The article is devoted to the investigation of the phenomenon of immersion as an actual feature and mechanism of modern art practics. The connection between actual inquiries in modern culture and immersion as a mechanism for creating an artistic reality and new forms of communication in it is revealed. The principle object of the investigation is the phenomenon of immersive theater. The studying is based on the ideas of P. Bourdieu and .J. Baudrillard. The immersive performance is focused on the situation of a full immersion of the recipient into event. Immersion means that the viewer is taken out from position of the passive recipient who has come to the theater for receiving the aesthetic pleasure. The immersive theater provides a great arsenal of tools for the removing of the viewer from consumer position. There are verbal appeals to the viewer and non-verbal forms of direct communication of actors with the viewer. For example, it is possible to change the location expected by the viewer, depriving viewers of visual contacts, putting bandages on their eyes, prohibiting any communication between spectators. In the immersive theater we can see the implementation of tactile provocations such as touching, hugging, kneeling, kissing. All of this is provoked the audience to become direct participants in the stage action, in which performing and spectator functions are closely intertwined. The authors of the article demonstrate that immersive performance presupposes a multilayered action, its rhizome nature, involvement of the spectator and actor’s corporeality into the action, the mood of actors for the constitution of their own virtual worlds. Thus, the immersive theater forms a new synergetic space in which conditions for personal self-realization are sanctioned.
