The history of the Nová scéna Theatre is still a non-preferred and inadequately researched field in Slovak theatre research. Although the members of its drama ensemble have been prominent figures of Slovak culture, they have not received specialized theatrological attention. They include the actor Július Vašek (1926 – 2009) who, mainly in the 1950s and ‘60s, played crucial roles in the repertoire of Nová scéna and became popular also due to his regular performances in television and films. On the one hand, this study tries to name his dramatic individuality, specify his means of expression, and examine the strategies of the directors in casting the actor in roles of asocial individuals and criminals. At the same time, through Vašek’s artistic career, the author of this study tries to map the turbulent staging and socio-political history of this second drama theatre in Bratislava, since the actor received roles in it shortly after its birth in the 1950s and retired from it in the early 1990s, when the theatre entered a different phase of its existence.
