Summary/Abstract: The article presents several examples of the theatric use of non-places, which are transit, temporary spaces, located most commonly in the big city scenery. The modern theater presents interpersonal relations in their physical intensity that does not correlate with a deep bond. A temporary relation with a non-place takes place of a traditional pattern of familiarizing with a stable social space. Emotional relations are also temporary, not submit to outside control. This is why the creators of dramas and plays do not go towards complete scenes, but show the existence as a episodic thing, consisting of repeats and chains of events.
