The author deals with the development of Slovak professional theatre in the period before and after the occupation of the former Czechoslovakia. He highlights the situation in dramaturgy, which after a period of relative freedom and openness to influences from other cultures fell after 1970 under the pressure from dogmatists, demanding re-isolation of Slovak art from parallel processes in Europe and worldwide. The author shows how prominent personalities of Slovak theatre as well as the younger artists reacted to the pressure of political normalisation.

Since the 1990s Slovak theatre has been affected by several phenomena: the changing attitude of the public to theatrical art, who seems to be losing interest in this art form, the degradation of the systematic, conceptual, artistic and forming function of the dramaturge, and the loss of an in-house dramaturge or director who would be consistent in performing this function. Theatrical space has been filled with freelance artists wandering from theatre to theatre, offering attractive productions or adopting them on the impulse of theatre managements. We witness the strengthening of the powers of directors and art directors who often succumb to commercial and operational pressures, but also their personal tastes and convictions. Secondly, we witness the continuing trend of ‘directorial theatre.’ The individual theatres still prefer working on projects, and therefore, the repertory depends on the offer of guest directors, who bring their own dramaturges to the theatres, sometimes not being familiar with the wider context or lacking the ambition to work with the theatre company and the audience in the long term. We also witness a disruption in cooperation between a theatre’s dramaturge and translators, authors, visual artists and so on. Only few dramaturges have their own workshops that enable them to have a systematic and long-lasting cooperation, for example, with authors writing new plays or directors preparing new productions.

It is well known that Bohuslav Martinu never solved in two operas the same dramaturgic issue. Each opera has a new dramaturgic form, and each time, the quality of a libretto and the requirements of a medium via which the opera was transmitted were captured differently. Martinu was in constant quest of parallels and contrasts between the various options of style plurality of his music and the plurality of the forms of dramaturgic solutions of the 20th century opera. He was able to garner ingenious dramaturgic solutions from these parallels, which have retained their attractiveness for both the music theatre and contemporary opera.

100%
EN
Marián Amsler is one of the most progressive Slovak directors of the middle generation. His work has earned him a high reputation in the Slovak and the Czech theatre environment. He regularly works in mainstream theatres, but he is also able to adapt his directorial means and method of creation to independent and even experimental theatre scenes. The presented paper deals exclusively with Amsler‘s work in Slovak institutionalised theatres. Using specific production examples, it examines his dramaturgical direction, style of direction, and thematic orientation with an emphasis on the theme of social and private values.

This study deals with the fairy-tale opera, Rozprávka o šťastnom konci [A Tale of a Happy End] (2019), of the Slovak composer Peter Zagar, commissioned by the Slovak National Theatre in Bratislava. Although this is Zagar’s only opera so far, the composer has ample experience in dramatic composition, as he has composed music for dramatic and ballet/dance productions and soundtracks for movies. The study discusses not only the dramaturgical structure and the music of the opera, and the specificities of its performance, but also points out the pitfalls of opera production for children and the importance of musical-intellectual education.

This article deals with the two independent cultural centres in Slovakia – the Stanica Žilina–Záriečie (Žilina–Záriečie Station) cultural node and the Záhrada (Garden) independent cultural centre, a non-profit organization which is based in Banská Bystrica. Particular attention is paid to certain dramaturgical tendencies, functions and associations made with a particular spatial location as well as the cultural centres’ influence on the specific regional cultural climate and overall location. The article maps the background to particular activities in the development of theatre culture and covers the special arrangements put in place for the emergence and existence of individual works from a perspective asserting that the physical realization of particular residencies is of unequivocal benefit to the laboratory-like cultivation of the contemporary poetics of independent theatre and dance.

IN QUEST OF NEW (SLOVAK) DRAMATURGY

EN
The study elucidates some examples of the so-called new dramaturgy in Slovak theatre. It points out that as early as the 1980s, many features of the modern understanding of the role of a dramaturg and dramaturgy could also be found in a number of productions of Slovak theatres. It highlights that inspiration was drawn from Czech alternative theatre and from the Moscow Taganka Theatre. The study maps out the work of stage director Blaho Uhlár, prominent representative of author collective theatre. By using several examples, new features of Slovak theatre in the 21st century theatre dramaturgy are demonstrated (for instance, the comeback of story, the narration about man, moral values), which have certain points in common with contemporary Russian documentary theatre. The study is an introduction to a series of studies on new dramaturgy in the 21st century Slovak theatre.

This paper deals with the dramaturgical and staging profile of the three Slovak opera theatres – The Opera of the Slovak National Theatre, the State Opera in Banská Bystrica and the Opera of the State Theatre in Košice – in the period of 1990 – 2013. It was already in the early stages of the building of a new social system that Slovak opera theatres discovered the need for profitability of their production. Especially the theatre in Košice, but also the one in Bratislava, therefore gave preference to the repertory that had the potential to become popular with their audiences and to neutral production poetics creating the illusion of reality. On the other hand, Banská Bystrica chose a different way, that of dramaturgical exclusivity and innovativeness, which secured it the reputation of the most ambitious Slovak opera theatre. The first decade of the new millennium in Bratislava was marked by the effort to achieve dramaturgical and staging diversity and the ambition to get integrated into the Central European context. However, beginning with Sylvia Hroncová holding the post of the general director, the theatre went through an internal crisis caused by the frequent turnover of opera directors. After years of searching and subsequent stabilization in the spirit of conservative aesthetical and dramaturgical preferences embodied in the personality of Peter Dvorský, Košice appears to have been experiencing a turn to more ambitious dramaturgy in the last two seasons under the direction of Karol Kevický as the art director and Linda Keprtová as the chief dramaturge.

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.

The author contemplates expressional bipolarity of contemporary art of the theatre. He is interested personally in whether theatre has yet a chance to purify spectators. He explores theatre in terms of reception, and also focuses on methods of addressing the themes of the day. Using case studies of selected productions in contemporary theatre, he reflects on the intentions of a number of theatre directors whose particular intention is for the theatre to provoke or manipulate spectators.

The author examines the influence of stage acting on movie acting in contemporary Polish cinema, citing the example of three movies: Małgośka Szumowska’s 33 sceny z życia (2008) and W imię... (2013), and Władysław Pasikowski’s Pokłosie (2012). She argues that the experience gained in constructing the characters in the performances directed by Krystian Lupa and Krzysztof Warlikowski played an essential role in conceiving the corresponding movie characters. In addition, the model of work with actors introduced by these two directors has had a very significant effect on stage acting as well as movie acting concepts in Poland. The author draws the reader’s attention not only to Małgorzata Hajewska-Krzysztofik, Andrzej Chyra, Mateusz Kościukiewicz and Maciej Stuhr’s parts, but also to the film dramaturgy which also displays the influence of theatre narrative structures.

The study is based on the observation that when portraying the character of mother in TV series, there is the repeated use of specific elements and attributes that create the character. By analysing thirty series that involve the theme of family, it is trying to define several groups of characteristics that make up the few repeated models when portraying a mother. It defines these models in terms of dramaturgy, therefore in the way in which they should appear to television viewers. It also points out that the same model of portrayal can be found in different genre contexts.

Julo Zborovjan (1921 - 1974) belongs to the founding theatrical generation connected with the Slovak professional theatre in Košice after World War II. Being a poet, translator, author of plays for children, and, above all, a long-time dramaturg of the Košice State Theatre, he has collaborated with many theatre directors thanks to his position in the theatre. Perhaps Janko Borodáč and Magda Husáková-Lokvencová had the most significant impact on his life. In Zborovjan’s recently catalogued written estate, one can also find extensive correspondence with the two named personalities. Its content is likely to contribute to the complementation, clarification, confirmation or correction of the existing theatrical-historical research, which the presented study also aims to point out.
