Director, theatre photographer and teacher Matús Ol'ha belongs to the most distinct personalities of the middle generation of Slovak theatre professionals. In the first part of the interview he recalls the early stage of his career in theatre, which was closely linked to the Little Theatre Studio in Kosice in the 1970s. This theatre 'attacked the petty middle-class man' and the emerging consumer society, it put great emphasis on all-humanity themes emotionally appealing to the viewer and on the acts in the name of human freedom (such as 'Peaceful Dawn' by B.Vasiliev). Further, the interview maps out Ol'ha's work as a director in the A. Duchnovic drama theatre, the repertory of which is in Ruthenian.
