Ukrainian Theatre - Nationalism and the Nationalist Theatre
Early on in her book Theatre & Nation, Nadine Holdsworth draws from a number of sociologists and theorists to define three key terms: nation, nationalism, and national identity. These are important terms to be distinguished; after all, the purview of this essay is Ukrainian theatre of national identity. Whether or not this can be conflated with Ukrainian nationalist theatre is a matter of connotation. If, as for many, the term nationalism conjures up images of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, or Trumpist America—all of which have negative connotations—then it may be uncomfortable to ascribe the word nationalist to Ukrainian theatre. After all, if it earned condemnation from the Ukrainian Communist Party, to the point of Kulish’s banishment, arrest, and eventual execution, then it must have been disruptive to some utopian vision that the USSR wanted to achieve.
