Abstract

Artur Lukin is the mariner who did not write dramas otherwise. He wrote the drama motivated by centenary anniversary repurchase of the island from »kolonat«. He named it The Convenient Show in Three Acts Motivated by Centenary Repurchase of the Island of Silba or Who is going to give me money. The authoress of this paper contextualizes historical motives of repurchase of Silba in 1852, and in 1952. when the show came about and when one century anniversary was celebrated. The play presents balanced relationship between entertaining and socio-critical elements. The author Artur Lukin presented himself by historical topic on one side, so that the play was strictly historically framed by the occasion of the repurchase of Silba and on the other side, it gives multitude clips from everyday life on the island. Sharp boundaries between auditorium and acting are deleted at moments in drama. There is parallelism of two cultures on Silba, rural and urban. That’s why the drama respects composition of civil drama and folk plays. That is what Artur Lukin inherited from the theatrical life on Silba in the period between The First and The Second World War. On the other side the drama is compounded of folk elements: there is music played on lira, Silba folk dance is danced, wedding ceremony is performed, and in stage directions there is even the description of Silba folk costumes.
