Theater plays a key role in the novel “Sylvie. Memories of Valois” by Gerard de Nerval and in the story “Clean Monday” by Ivan Bunin. In both works, the theater is present as the tangible place of the stage creation and at the same time as the stage of external imagination. In both works, the experience of the theater of appearances comes down to the search for an inner, unseen stage, manifesting itself in similar leitmotifs and questions. In both poems, that transition is entrusted to a female character. This study is devoted to the relationship between two novels.
