Special stage events phenomenon was reviewed through the prism of emotional perception, space, eventfulness and artistic balance. The scientific novelty consists of determining and generalizing the source base for studying special stage events during the process of national culture creation, separating the sources by scientific understanding levels and depth of analysis of contemporary events phenomenon, and structuring the achievements of scientists by qualities, which will act as logic of illuminating the leading scientific basis of our research. A special stage event is considered as a phenomenon (event) planned in time and space, which has symbolic capital, a value orientation, capable of impressing participants using mainly stage art, and stimulating them to participate in transformations in the space of modern culture. The practical significance lies in establishing prerequisites for planning and implementation of special stage events, which possess symbolic capital and will act as basis for culture creation process during wartime.
