The subject of the analysis of this article is to understand modern society as a “performance
society”. The purpose of the article is to show the “theatricality” of the consumer society, to explore
the processes of theatricalization, the role of social illusions, the phenomenon of social roles, the
relation of the real and the symbolic. The article investigates the phenomena of commodification,
of excessive and demonstrative consumption, traces the influence of social illusions on the
formation of value orientations and moral and ethical attitudes of postmodern society. The author
considers the processes of virtualization, the substitutions of the real and the surreal, the real and
the invented, analyzes the role of social illusions in the formation of mythologemеs that more and
more acquire the ontological status. The problems of the article carry the elements of scientific
novelty and relevance. Formed ideologemеs and virtual practices are in demand by the consumer
society, in which sociality has acquired dramatized lines. “The performance society” erases the
borders between freedom and lack of freedom, forms distorted views and ideas and creates the
image of a “playing” person. Life acquires the features of a social masquerade, in which social
masks replace one another. In these phenomena, as well as in the processes of manipulating the
mass and individual consciousness, an important role is played by PR-technologies which are also
discussed in the article.
