In a generalising fashion, the author examines a set of reception influences of the author theatre. He finds multidimensional expressiveness of a dramatic piece structure in contemporary author theatre styles. Using several examples, Ballay examines expression range of reception influences of contemporary Slovak author theatre at the levels of the word, of the actor’s role, direction, incidental music, visual considerations, and theatre production texture and of the stage synthesis per se. However, the conclusions of the study would not provide a sweeping overview of the current state of contemporary author theatre in Slovakia. They are to be understood as a theoretical sketch of the vital phenomena within this context.
