Establishment of Eastern European Theater Pantomyms

The features of the origin and development of the pantomime theater in the countries of Eastern Europe in the 60-70s of the XX century are studied on the basis of the analysis of the experimental activities of the founder of the Czech school of classical modern pantomime L. Vialka, the Slovak pantomime M. Sladek, the Latvian artist, actor and director M. Tenisson , Estonian pantomime by A. Traks.The study found that pantomime became widely popular in a number of European and post-Soviet countries in the second half of the twentieth century, but it is a borrowed form because there are similar elementsbetween ancient traditional pantomime productions and some of its European varieties. Borrowing cultural institutions or their individual components is possible only if the host culture has certain favorable conditions for their assimilation. At the same time, the borrowed material noticeably changes in the process of the influence of a whole complex of historical, social, religious and cultural factors, which determine the philosophical and aesthetic specifics of the new phenomenon.
