Divadlo v živote, život v divadle
Theatre in Life, Life in Theatre

Summary/Abstract: A scenographer who co-operated with Pavol Haspra since his coming to the Slovak National Theatre until the last opening, is summarizing his own experience. A co-operation of almost 40 years undenyingly confirmed that our tandem lived and endured for so long on the basis of an internal proximity both human and artistic, on the basis of congeniality in their a idude towards life – nourished by a common belief in the rules of ethics, a common endeavour in humanization of the fleshly space. Tensions, jitters, misunderstandings, but also bigger conflicts, shorter or longer disagreements composed that obligatory tax when searching and respecting a personality, a topic, an author´s idea, or director´s intentions in a decisive shape of a staging, its visual form and a directorial conception. Pavol Haspra always tried to make „fitting clothes“ in relation to the author in order to make its artistic resonance vibrate, so that the clothes were not only a mere whim – formal and self–concentrating. He always prefered the author´s manuscript to his own.
