CESTA ROBERTA ROTHA DO SLOVENSKÉHO NÁRODNÉHO DIVADLA

This study captures a cross-section of the gradual transformation of Robert Roth (1972) from a child actor into an actor of the Slovak National Theatre through various theatrical experiments. Besides the diversity of his acting roles, his alternation of artistic teams and theatres, his collaboration with various directors and, especially, his constant work and acceptance of challenges all played an important role in this process. Based on the available archival materials and her own research, the author tries to map the background that shaped Roth’s theatrical and socio-critical thinking, thanks to which he later became a prominent actor of the Drama Ensemble of the Slovak National Theatre.
