Abstracts

The study outlines the development of the dramaturgy of drama theatre in the Slovak professional theatre in Košice, from the founding of the East Slovak National Theatre in 1924, down to the beginning of the so-called normalisation period. It names basic dramaturgical strands and developmental trends. The history of Košice professional theatre has several problematic stages. To a limited extent, there were compact dramaturgical time period. However, they only sporadically evolved into a long-lasting art manifesto. The non-existence of a more intensive and ideologically and aesthetically founded dramaturgical vision with respect to the drama ensemble and directorial work is among the major reasons for the situation. Moreover, the situation was oftentimes complicated by the dominance of theatre directors sometimes surpassing their artistic potential. A clash between the older and the younger generations coming on the scene seemed to have also played a key role, the latter being impacted by the post-war modern drama and theatre.
