Abstract

A wide range of dramatic forms can be found in Khlebnikov’s dramatic œuvre, which should be viewed against the background of Russian classical literature and culture, Symbolism, as well as the Futurist theatre of the time. In this paper I focus on Khlebnikov’s early dramatic work Snezhimochka (Snowflake, 1908) retracing its connections with the folk character of Snegurochka (the Snow Maiden) as she is represented in Afanas’ev’s famous collections of folktales, on which Ostrovsky based his play Snegurochka (1873), on which in turn Rimsky-Korsakov based his opera Snegurochka (1882). I highlight how the motif of the Snow Maiden played an important role in the revival of interest in folklore and Slavic mythology in St Petersburg Symbolist circles, which the young Khlebnikov frequented. Finally, Snezhimochka and Kruchenykh’s “opera” Victory over the Sun – which were intended to be performed together – are compared with reference to the theme of the sun, their characters, and, above all, their treatment of language and neologization.

Velimir Khlebnikov's “Christmas Tale” Snezhimochka
在赫列布尼科夫的戏剧œuvre中可以找到广泛的戏剧形式,这应该在俄罗斯古典文学和文化,象征主义以及当时的未来主义戏剧的背景下进行观察。在本文中,我将重点放在赫列布尼科夫的早期戏剧作品《白雪公主》(1908年)上,追溯其与民间人物斯内古罗奇卡(雪少女)的联系,因为她在阿法纳斯耶夫著名的民间故事集中得到了体现,奥斯特洛夫斯基的戏剧《斯内古罗奇卡》(1873年)就是以此为基础的,里姆斯基-科尔萨科夫的歌剧《斯内古罗奇卡》(1882年)也是以此为基础的。我强调雪少女的主题是如何在圣彼得堡象征主义圈子中对民间传说和斯拉夫神话的兴趣复兴中发挥重要作用的,年轻的赫列布尼科夫经常光顾。最后,将Snezhimochka和Kruchenykh的歌剧《战胜太阳》(Victory over the Sun)——这两部歌剧本打算一起演出——与太阳的主题、他们的角色,尤其是他们对语言和新词化的处理进行比较。
