The First Cavalry

The script editor and director in one connects the mosaic of the stories from Russian war in the 20s – cruel and poetic sketches written by Russian writer lsaac Babel – into thematic units. He creates the stylized images of rough beauty flashing in the fascinating tempo. He uses the method of cinematographic montage emerging the longer or shorter units. The producers of the performance present the shocking theme which can easily mislead to pathos and banality with lightness, detachment, even black humour and that together with the sensitively chosen music and with respect to the context of Slovak amateur theatre also extraordinary good stage design creates an enjoyable theatre amusement for both producers and spectators.
