Summary/Abstract: This case study focuses on one of the principles of theatre decomposition and illustrates it with the analysis of the staging of the contemporary opera Muž v skafandri [Man in a Spacesuit, 2020] of the composer and librettist Miroslav Tóth, directed by Jan Komárek. The aim of this study is to zoom in on contemporary cross-media and cross-genre trends in Slovak theatre productions that use new technologies, by which theatre makers intervene into the composition of the staging by deconstructing its means of expression. The scenes of the productions are fragmentized; the theatre makers break them down into their basic components to find new possibilities and meanings, while the recipients perceive these associatively.
