Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression in the context of “directing of action”

The purpose of the article is to analyze the reflection of the Ukrainian people’s heroic resistance to Russian aggression in modern theatrical art forms in the context of “action directing”. 
The main methodological tool for the study of the mentioned problem is a formal and art-scientific analysis of a set of theatrical artistic forms, which, in our opinion, today form a certain theatrical environment. 
An important set of ideas on which the study of such a symbolic environment is based are ideas related to the formation of a certain “symbolic field”. In addition to the interpretation of the concept of “symbol” by classical European philosophy, the ideas of philosophers and cultural scientists of the XX century remain effective. (from B. Russell, J. Dewey, R. Carnap, J. Piaget. E. Cassirera, S. Langer, A. Whitehead, K. G. Jung, T. Todorov, O. F. Losev, Yu. M. Lotman, R. Eshelman, J. Birringer etc.), who considered various aspects of the implementation of “action directing” in the formation of modern artistic forms and symbolic expressions. Approaches substantiated by Guy Debord, R. Caiua, B. Massumi, R. Eshelman, J. Birringer, and others also appear to be methodologically important on various aspects of the problem under investigation. 
The result of the research presented in this article is understanding of the main theatrical forms and art practices which are implemented in the context of “directing of action” during Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression. 
The scientific novelty of the research presented in the article is consists in understanding those projects of various typological orientations that were created by Ukrainian artists and Ukrainian society during the active phase of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The article proves that Ukrainian civil society uses both archetypal and ultra-modern figurative and semantic constructions to symbolize its opposition and implements them in the context of “directing of action”. 
The practical significance of the results of the study is that based on the understanding of the need to nurture the creative thinking of modern directors of theatrical forms and art projects in accordance with the requirements of both Ukrainian civil society and professional requirements.
