Жизнь как «конкретный театр»: хэппенинги и перформативная поэзия Александра Кондратова
С. 68–82.
The article is dedicated to performative poetry and happenings of one of the most remarkable Leningrad “philological school” poets Alexander Kondratov. Special attention is given to the poet’s concept of “concrete theater”, in which an interpretation of J. Moreno’s idea of “the theater of spontaneity” can be seen, as well as of Yevgeniy Mikhnov-Voytenko’s “antiabstract” painting artworks – artist’s (both painter and theater artist) “concrections”. This concept not only explains the strange single happenings, which Kondratov was famous for, but are also connected with his perfomative poetry as series of indications for readers on how to perform one text or another.

One-point poetry is the last step from extremely minimal literary forms to the forms of non-verbal poetry – so-called “hollow” and “zero” texts.
