Problems of Metaphorization in Modern Directing Theater

Metaphorization as a universal method of replenishing lexical means of expression and creating a complex semantic structure of the production is studied; the types of theatrical metaphors in the context of tendencies of modern directing theater are analyzed; found that primarily metaphorization depends on the goals and objectives of the director, which are focused on filling conceptual gaps and creating a pragmatic effect in the viewer -this leads to predicting understanding of metaphor and appeal to image-associative complexes of current realities.It is revealed that in the modern director's theater there is a process of metaphorization of the surrounding world, in which new metaphorical models appear, and traditional ones are updated and actualized, constantly absorbing new meanings.Within one or another director's theater, there is a variety of activity of appealing to basic metaphors, changing key metaphors and generating new submodels.
