Abstract

The article discusses the vectors and the relationships between the physical and metaphysical nomadism inherent to the protagonists of plays such as The Sacred Blood and The Poppy Flowers. The transition from the lunar to the solar world, the contacts between this side and the other side, the transformation of historical and physical spaces, Utopia and nostalgia as the main types of escape from the present, and suicide as an extreme form of caregiving are the main actions committed by them in their maximalist spiritual striving, complicated by the problem of the irreversibility of time. © 2019 Rossiiskaya Akademiya Nauk Institut Russkoi Literatury (Pushkinskii Dom).
