Summary/Abstract: The author presents and analyze a playwriting in the Slovak-Macedonian cultural ties from the second half of the twentieth century until today. The main point of the study’s scientific framework was to conscientiously summarize the research conducted in the field of Slovak-Macedonian “playwriting” ties up to the present, which has until now mostly received secondary or partial attention, most notably from several Slovak, Czech and Macedonian scholars and historians after 1945. In addition to that, the methodological system of the study indicates the role and importance that the received literature and culture plays within the receiving Slovak or Macedonian literary and cultural societies. In that sense, the diachronic continuum of Slovak “playwriting” translations of Macedonian literature, as well as Macedonian translations of Slovak literature, has been portrayed in this study as a culture-creating phenomenon. Hence, the translations and stage sceneries were assessed in this study also in relation to the social communication, the degree of establishment of the cultural ties, as well as the demands and criteria of the publishing politics in both countries. Within this understanding of the research complex, the translators and stage directors themselves become true moderators between the so called linguistic and cultural communities, who thereby perceive the similarities and differences in the reception of information in both/all socio-cultural areas. The study approaches, among other things, with sincere respect the true value and achievement of the fairly constant interest of the Slovak cultural public for Macedonia and Macedonian literature in the second half of the twentieth century.
