Shakespeare's words "The whole world is a theater, and we are actors in it" were the motto of the life of Les Kurbas, whose name is shrouded in solid legends and fictions. During his lifetime, he was considered a titan, a creator, a prophet-intuitive. The author of this publication, Lesya Kurbasa, considers Lesia Kurbasa to be a "hostage of eternity in the captivity of time" - director, theater historian and critic, teacher, translator R. G. Kolomiets, doctor of philosophy, corresponding member of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, professor. This book is the last work of the author in the series of publications "Selected pages of the modern theater", dedicated to the work of leading theaters, outstanding actors and directors.
