The study is dealing with a sharp and new trend that occured in the marionette theatre by the beginning of the 90s - by the application of poetics and also the methods of the Czech Study Author's Theatre. Through a brief retrospective, the authoress is returning back to the near and more distant past in order to clarify this phenomenon and continuity related to the heritage of the inter-war avant-garde. The artistic programme of the most combative Study Theatre 'Husa Na Provazku' in Brno was intentionally tying upon significant personalities: the script writer Jiri Mahen, directors J.Honzl a E.F.Burian and also upon the specific Czech poeticism. Since the Slovak marionettists were inspired by the activities of the Study Theatre in Brno, they have also indirectly tied upon the ideas and poetics of avant-garde. Next, the authoress is pointing on positive and qualitatively new impulses brought by the creative application of the new procedures and principles into the environment of the Slovak Marionette Theatre. Lastly, she is contemplating on the fact whether the trend of the author's marionette theatre does not mean drifting away from the path of development continuity of the marionette theatre. She is surprisingly concluding that in reality it is just a natural continuation in the tradition from both sides - a domestic creation, and also in a tradition of genre; it brings about advancement of the best in both aspects.

A theatrical critic and historian specialized in the puppet show theatre, is analyzing the effort of the first Slovak professional marionettist Jan Strazan. The Slovak theatricals together with the first Slovak tribal professional marionettist, were the building process components in establishing the basis of the modern Slovak culture. The name Jan Strazan was found in the archives in the beginning of 19th century (1st July 1856 Varin - 15 th September 1939 Trnava). He is the founder of the marionette dynasty that has been performing the puppet show theatre without interruption already for more than hundred and twenty years. Strazan's theatrical activity in the 19th century falls into the period after the Austrian - Ugrian equalization, when Slovakia was facing the striking pressure of the Magyarization. Similarly like the private theatricals, also this theatre was satisfying the aims of the national enlightenment through the form of using a national language. Ján Strazan belonged among the middle-European tribal comedians, who were performing the marionette theatre within its baroque tradition, what can be judged mostly by its repertoire, puppets and scene. Puppets that were with a high probability used for performing by the eldest marionettist Ján Strazan, came from the series of eighteen pieces of puppets sized 79 to 86 cm, where can also be found portrait puppets of the family - recognizable and with photographs comparable are at least puppets of Ján Strazan and his son Viliam. These can be seen in collections of the Slovak National Museum in the Ethnographic Museum in Martin.

Transformations of poetics on the breakthrough of 20th and 21st centuries in the Slovak marionette theatre are outlined by the authoress in broader circumstances, with the background of avant-garde and studio theatre movements mostly in Bohemia. Entering of a live actor into the marionette theatre stage caused the most significant changes of poetics. Under this influence the marionettists disentailed from the tutorship of illusion play, freed from interpretation and stage director theatre and thanks to this, the marionette theatre has become close with the movement of unofficial experimental groups, has freed itself from isolation. A trend to leading to an increasing participation of live actors which started in 1959, has reached bigger size after 1989. Positive results brought through this impact could be seen in the Slovak marionette theatre in the 90-ties, in overtaking methods and programme of author's theatre which had been worked out by the Czech studio theatres in the seventies. An absolute novelty is also the interest of marionettists into paratheatrical, therapeutic theatre activities (Doctor Clown, mentally handicapped or with hearing loss handicap and so on), what also belongs to developing of the message related to inter - war avant-garde.
