About the theater
Actor Theater creates space for free creation with artists from all over Slovakia and also from abroad. We stage plays on contemporary social, generational and sociological topics. We want to create as many theatrical texts as possible to support the creation of independent and original theater plays. We are an independent theater focusing not only on Roma but also non-Roma culture. In our play scripts and during the staging process we deal with Roma and non-Roma issues, too.

Main productions
2021
Lost Somewhere at Sea* - based on Out at Sea by Sławomir Mrożek
(Stroskotanci niekde na mori)
D.: František Balog
Lost is a game about alibis, beastly instincts, lies, stupidity and manipulation. Showing three losers, the production presents us how far a person can go in manipulation to achieve his goal, as well as the extent to which he is willing to be manipulated. It demonstrates how can nonsense be used to enforce nonsense.

František Balog:
Roma from the Duvet or Enter the Majority!
(Róm z perinky, alebo Enter the Majority!)
*monodrama*
D.: Juraj Bielik, František Balog
One-man show. A kaleidoscope of bizarre, comic and touching stories from the childhood and adolescence of "Elephant", endowed with many talents, told with wit and self-irony. An unorthodox and unforgettable lesson on how to manage life.
