Various modes of the author in the plays of Alexey Shipenko fi x the variety of forms and types, the complex interpretation of which suggests the idea of possible accumulation of the playwright’s creative energy in a single point, called “the Author”. Consideration of the author’s explications in characteristic combinations, designated as “author and author”, “author and reader / viewer”, “author and character”, allows us to put forward and to a certain extent confi rm the hypothesis about the concept of “author-universe”, actualized in the work of the playwright. Reseach is based on the texts of the book “Introduction” by A. Shipenko (“Mehr Licht (More light)”, “Tsurikon”). A. Shipenko’s dramatic art, being primarily absurdist, is a kaleidoscope where literary genres, cultural universals, historical epochs, styles, plots, and images are mutually refl ected. Surrealistic and cinematic merge of realities, “universal” and intertextual connections, diversity of images, non-standard textual form, a constant focus on alogism, which are innate for life, culture, and literary process, are the dominants of his texts, which are very explicitly represented through such a type of creative substance as the “author-universe”.
