Timeline

1952

Les Podervianskyi (Олександр «Лесь» Сергійович Подерв'янський, ; born 1952 in Kyiv ) is a Ukrainian painter, poet, playwright and performer.

He is most famous for his absurd, highly satirical, and at times obscene short plays.

Their average duration is five to fifteen minutes, with some exceptions.

Podervianskyi has a cult following among Kyiv intellectuals.

1968

In 1968, he graduated from the Republican Art School in Kyiv.

1976

In 1976, he graduated from the Kyiv Art Institute (specialty: easel and monumental painting, graphics, theatrical painting).

1980

Podervianskyi wrote most of his works in the Soviet Union in the mid to late 1980s, a time of stagnation in politics and social life—the era of "zastoy" and the time of rapid changes in consciousness.

He observed the people in that situation, their reactions and behaviour.

And most thoroughly he watched the speech patterns of outsiders and commoners, people from the country.

The author places common people in grotesque absurd situations and shows how they would act and speak much the same regardless of what happens.

Podervianskyi's works are highly regarded owing to his attention to detail.

Many behavioural modes are easily recognizable, and people are able to recognize themselves in the plays.

The general absurdity of the situation makes the characters' absurd actions more acceptable, and although certain phrases the author uses are politically incorrect, his humour is generally neutral.

Podervianskyi says he draws a lot of his inspiration from the years of his army service.

There is also an opinion that his plays are in some way inspired by works of Samuel Beckett.

This writer was favorite also for his friend artist Nicholas Zalevsky.

Member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine since 1980.

Podervianskyi's works have often been criticized because of his use of vulgar unprintable language.

They are written mostly in Surzhyk and include much swearing and obscenities, which make them appear as if they were composed by an uneducated person.

Often it seems that the only reason one would read the works is for their comic impact and to hear creative swearing.

But this is not the case.

The numerous citations from Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Taoism and dzen buddhism philosophers give the idea of several intellectual layers in his works.

Although a number of Podervianskyi's expressions have entered Ukrainian slang, he uses crude language to show the flaws and grotesqueness of his characters.

Podervianskyi carefully matches up language with his characters.

Thus a self-made intellectual spouts scientific-sounding nonsense, while more "straightforward" characters use simple words to express complex things.

Because Podervianskyi's works are known primarily in the form of audio recordings of the author's recitals, his voice adds extra dramatic effect to the text.

Podervianskyi's Hamlet is a short, satiric retelling of Hamlet by William Shakespeare, set in an imaginary Denmark that closely resembles the Soviet Union of the 1980s.

A bored and indifferent hero doesn't care about religion, revenge, truth, or politics; all he wants is to get drunk.

Eventually he kills everyone, including his father, and he is taken to an asylum by a famous psychiatrist Sigmund Freud.

A longer (one-hour) play set in the Siberian taiga, where a group of members of the Soviet youth Pioneer Movement is led by a Communist official in search of God in order to prove (by not finding God) that God does not exist.

Things rapidly change when God's messenger Mykola Ostrovsky (a reference to Soviet writer Nikolai Ostrovsky), is found in the process.

The result of rapid change from atheism to paganism is minimal in terms of human behaviour.

The name of the play refers to pioneer Pavlik Morozov, a young Soviet communist "martyr".

(Devoted to artists unions)

A group of passive art-men live in a freight car, eat state-supplied noodles every day, and do absolutely nothing except pseudo-intellectual chat.

They are completely happy inside because they are guaranteed their supply of noodles.

They are too scared to leave the car for fear of losing their daily meal.

On the contrary, local passers-by (non-art-men) are extremely intrigued by what is happening inside, and seek whatever ways to get into the community.

In the end, car brakes are removed, it rolls and crashes offscene.

Four Russian tourists enjoy the seaside in mid-level resort city (possibly Feodosiya), speaking with heavy Moscovite pronunciation (known as akanye).
