LEZGHI DRAMATURGICAL WORK OF THE 1930S: SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECT (Based on G. Gadzhibekov’s play “In the Claws of Adat”)

Abstract

The article examines the sociocultural foundations of the formation of professional dramatic creativity of the Lezghin people. Based on the analysis of one of the first plays of Lezgin drama “In the Claws of Adat” (“Adetrin karmahra”), the value-semantic dominants that determined the life rhythms of the national creative consciousness of the 1930s are identified. It is noted that the sociocultural realities of the beginning of the Soviet period, which were associated with processes of changing forms of identities, set a new logic for the historical movement. The rhythmic tensions of this movement provoke social and existential crises of human existence, in the experiences of which the substantive and compositional foundations of dramatic creativity are built. In this regard, G. Gadzhibekov’s play “In the Claws of Adat” (“Adetrin karmahra”) is interesting, the dramatic composition of which is built on a total denial of the social standards of the pre-revolutionary world.
