Summary/Abstract: The author is describing the genesis and development of studio theatres in the above mentioned period in Slovakia, while naming the pecularities of the Slovak situation. She is reminding conditions of their origin in short, and comparing them with the situation in the Czech Republic, mainly from the point of view of their institutional classification, but also artistic effort. For example, the Czech theatre troupes like the theatre from Brno Husa na provázku, Ha-Divadlo, Studio Ypsilon from Liberec, Činoherné Studio from Ústí nad Labem, started like amateurish troups, and later became professional. The Slovak theatricals did not separate from their mother theatres, making use of the possibility to function alongside with a regular theatre operation. They used to play in untraditional spaces, e.g. in the underground rooms of the theatre, museums, chapels, or in a non-approved boiler-hause of the new theatre building in Prešov.
