"Many remember Melpomene - the muse of tragedy, but her sister, Thalia - the muse of comedy, is often forgotten. The aim of the laboratory is to demonstrate the relevance of the comic genre, to show that a comedy is not just an entertaining spectacle, but an opportunity, joking, to talk with a spectator on the most serious topics, "say the laboratory leaders. It was headed by a theatrical critic, senior researcher of the Institute of Art Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, lecturer RATI-GITIS Alexander Vyslov and theater critic, head of the literary and dramatic part of the theater named after G. Kamal Niyaz Iglamov.
