Abstract. In the article, the use of the method of parodying in the TV version of Peter Sellars’s production of Mozart’s opera "Cos? fan tutte" is analyzed. The main objects of consideration are the rhetorized conditional actor’s plasticity used by the director, with the help of which the social-critical aspects of the plot are emphasized, and also the connection between the dramaturgic logic of the performance with the libretto and the correlation of the narrative and metaphorical planes. Parodying acts in Sellars’s production as a sign of the social conventionality of the characters’ behavior, and as a means of the embodiment of the media aesthetics.
Key words and phrases: опера, Моцарт, режиссерский театр, Питер Селларс, пародирование, пластическая риторика, "Cos? fan tutte", opera, Mozart, director’s theater, Peter Sellars, parodying, plastic rhetoric, "Cos? fan tutte"
