Abstract

The purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to provide a general description of the theatrical festival movement in Ukraine, its classification and to explore the international puppet festival "Podilska Lyalka" in terms of its artistic expediency and effectiveness in educating the younger generation of the Ukrainian state. Methodology. The methodology of the study involves applying arts and cultural, analytical, diachronic and systematic methods of studying the international festival for children "Podilska Lyalka" as a phenomenal multi-genre form of spectacular and theatrical performance, its sustainability and traditionality in the artistic and creative space of contemporary stage art. Scientific novelty. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of theatrical festival as an artistic spectacle-mass form,
its classification and the role of the international puppet festival as a dynamic procedural artistic action. Conclusions. International puppet festival "Podillya Lyalka" acts as an analyst and promoter of modern trends in the development of puppet art, as evidenced by its regular holding in our country. Modernity requires the necessary disclosure of the
proportion of the mission of the festival and socio-cultural context, attempts to find cultural, as well as educational and economic benefits, which should be incorporated into the festival formula, while considering the possibility of their implementation. Finally, despite the significant role of Ukrainian international festivals of puppet theaters for children in
the formation of theatrical life of independent Ukraine, their significance for these processes remains undervalued. It is almost completely out of the attention of Ukrainian humanitarian science. Festivals require objective and integrated research as an integral system of achievements and preservation of theatricality.
