SkRAT theatre: MONO / Fričová / Burgr / Chalmovský

Cast: Lucia Fričová, Ľubo Burgr, Milan Chalmovský; director & music: Ľubo Burgr

Bauman writes: “Almost half of what is essential to human happiness has no market value and cannot be bought in shops”. Moreover, the vision of the good life confronts one with certain choices, “none of which, however, is without risk and insured against failure or later regret.” Despite efforts to the contrary, “life is lived in a society of uncertainty”.

Three monodramas: About a woman locked in the stereotype of family life, a man preparing to meet the person who has been serenading him for a long time and also a monodrama of an actor reflecting on who he is and what more he could achieve in his life. Fričová, Burgr, Chalmovský thematise the fear of failure, loss of self-control and consequently self-esteem. A traumatic “relationship” with a person who is simply “harmful,” a frustration in which unfulfilled dreams or physical and psychological needs accumulate, are the backdrop for other meanings.

The performance contains vulgarisms.

Dear visitors,
The leadership of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic is taking steps that are destroying Slovak culture! Their power interference and legislative changes threaten our existence, but also the freedom and diversity of art. We protest against these steps! The cultural centres associated in the Antenna network call on you, our audience, not to be indifferent. Follow current events, visit cultural venues and discuss. Stay with us and let’s fight together for a free culture.
