Meyerhold's Constructivism

Meyerhold’s Constructivism is an artistic and theatrical movement emphasizing practical, functional design and innovative stage techniques. It advocates for integrating art with everyday materials and industrial aesthetics to create dynamic, efficiency-driven performances. This approach moves away from illusion and realism, favoring expressive, abstract structures that serve storytelling and emotional effect. Meyerhold believed in using geometric shapes, mechanical movements, and modular sets to evoke ideas and provoke thought, transforming the theater into a space of active, visually engaging experimentation that mirrors modern industrial society.
