Summary/Abstract: Director, theatre photographer, and educator Matus Ol'ha is among the most distinct personalities of the middle generation of Slovak theatre professionals. In the first part of the interview, he recalls the early stage of his career with the theatre, which was closely linked to the Little Theatre Studio in Kosice in the 1970s; programmatically, this theatre ,,attacked the petty middle-class man" and at the time of the emerging consumer so¬ciety, it put great emphasis on all-humanity grand themes emotionally appealing to the viewer and on the acts in the name of human freedom (such as Peaceful Dawn by B.Vasiliev). Further, the interview maps out Ol'ha's direction activity with A. Duchno-vic drama theatre, the repertory of which is staged in Ruthenian.
