Contemporary theatrical work often reflects the artists' sceptical view of the relationship between man and the world, or the frustration of the individual existing amidst negative forces outside and within himself, against which he cannot effectively define himself or escape. The present text, using a selected sample of works from Slovak and Czech operas of the 21st century, explores the means based on the poetics of absurd and post-dramatic theatre, which authors use to convey a sense of meaninglessness, banality, and the hopelessness of life, and/or use them in the sense of persiflage, caricature, or nonsense. The author of the study identifies them in the sense of expressing the creators' attitude to the state of society, also in the musical-dramaturgical structure of individual opuses. She also examines them in the relation of the creators to opera as a music-dramatic art, which is, on the one hand, connected with the past, but on the other hand, is created and reciprocated in the current time.
