The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the reception of ideas and creative techniques of nonconformist theatrical artists D. Lider and E. Lysyk in the stage design of Ukraine in the first quarter of the 21st century. Methodology. The study used the method of terminological analysis, system analysis and synthesis, the typological method, thanks to which the basic concepts of the study were clarified and the features of the manifestation of nonconformity in stage design were identified; the method of functional-typological analysis, the use of which contributed to the identification of the specifics of nonconformity in the artistic decisions of D. Lider and E. Lysyk; as well as the method of art criticism, figurative-stylistic and formal-stylistic analysis of the design of the stage space of performances developed by V. Karashevsky, S. Masloboyshchykov, A. Zlobin and others. Results. Based on the conducted art historical research of the reception of nonconformism in modern stage design, it was found that the borrowing and perception by modern Ukrainian theater artists of the ideas and creative techniques of scenographic nonconformism of the 1960s-1980s, their rethinking and representation in the design of the stage space occurs in accordance with the trends of stage design of the first quarter of the 21st century, artistic and aesthetic principles and the philosophical and ideological vision of the artist as a recipient. The research revealed that the work of modern theater artists – students of the leading representatives of stage design of the 1960s–1980s D. Lider and E. Lysyk develops in the unified aesthetics of nonconformism laid down by the masters. At the same time, the unique features of the creative style of V. Karashevsky, S. Masloboyshchikov, A. Zlobin, etc. remain characteristic, which are manifested in the choice and means of representing a monotheme, creating an original atmosphere using characteristic means of expression; developing figurative-plastic structures that contribute to the embodiment of the deep essence of the dramaturgical primary source; the variability of the interaction of means of scenographic expression in the process of developing a single visual image of the production, etc. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the problems of the reception of ideas and creative techniques of nonconformist theatrical artists D. Lider and E. Lysyk in the stage design of Ukraine in the first quarter of the 21st century are considered from an art historical perspective. Practical relevance. The results of the study can be used for further development of issues related to the study of stage design in Ukraine in the second half of the 20th – first quarter of the 21st century.
