WHAT IS THEATRE, IT IS SURELY NOT FOR REAL

An editorial office continues in publishing profile interviews with meaningful personalities of the Slovak theatre by a contribution by Matus Olha and Stefan Hudak. Stefan Hudak, a scenic designer, native of Velky Saris (27th June 1942) belongs to the generation which was entering an active artistic life in sixties of the last century. Even while studying still, he had cooperated as a scenographer with the Slovak National Theatre, but also with a theatre which created an avant-garde alternative to the first drama scene, with 'Divadlo na Korze' (The Theatre on Promenade). In 1968 he became an internal designer of the Czechoslovak Television in Kosice. The TV scenic solutions he did, could be counted in hundreds - and he has always been - until now - also a theatre scenographer. When still at school, he had cooperated with a mime Milan Sladek. He designed and carried out the scene for his staging of Kyrmezer's morality 'Komedie o Bohatci a Lazarovi' (Comedy on Dives and Lazarus) which until now belongs to the classical heritage of the Slovak scenography. Together with the outstanding personalities of his generation like Rasto Bohus, Jozef Ciller, Tomas Berka, or Jan Zavarsky, he is part of the stream which is usually determined as action scenography - where a scenographer becomes a co-creator of the theatre performance. In the first part of interview Stefan Hudak is zooming the Slovak theatre reality in times of his studying and is recalling the foreign festivals where The Fine Arts Faculty had performed. He is recalling a well disposed and creative atmosphere which had been present in a creation of university staging, and also teachers and the other university workers with whom he had been cooperating then.

In the second part of the interview (1st part can be found in 1-2 (2005) issue), the theatrical critic and historian A. Matasik talks to the famous Slovak theatre director of the middle-age generation about his cooperation with the Slovak professional troupes - with the A. DUCHNOVIC Theatre (performing in Ruthenian, the national minority language), as well as with non-professional theatre troupes, mainly with amateurs from Brezno and the Slovak amateur actors of Vojvodina in Bácsky Petrovec. In his interview the prominent Slovak director Matus Ol'ha draws attention to a negative development and devaluation of the theatrical art position in society, which is linked to a general cultural crisis, to omitting of its meaning and needs in Slovakia in the turn of the millennium. In the conclusion the director Ol'ha voiced out an apprehension that the present lack of qualified theatrical criticism can in a longer perspective result in an absence of authentic testimonies on the situation of the Slovak theatre, and that it will no longer be possible to evaluate the production of this theatrical generation in its complexity and continuity.

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.
