The acting Oeuvre of Ján Kožuch in the Puppet Theatre in banská bystrica

Summary/Abstract: In a chronological order and in an analytical and poetological way, this study discusses the activities of the theatre actor Ján Kožuch, whose extraordinary artistic achievements are tied especially to the puppet theatre in Banská Bystrica, besides the Slovak Chamber Theatre (1981 – 2022, in 2003 renamed as the Theatre of the Slovak National Uprising in Martin). The method the study builds on is mainly a reconstruction of the staged characters, through which semantic and expressive ideas are formed of them. It also uses analytical and synthesizing methods. In accordance with the theoretical work Kapitoly o hereckom umení [Chapters on the Art of Acting] written by the Slovak theatrologist and theoretician of the art of acting, Miloš Mistrík, the aim of the author is to characterize the type and the range of Kožuch’s means of expression in acting in the puppet theatre in Banská Bystrica and to analyze the way he works with these.
