Both authors come out from principles alternate theatre and open form. Dramatic texts have controversial character and to open problematic places of collective culture code and conservation to national stereotypes. K. Horák conceive his drama as text collage intro rehearsal, where are model historical situation and national watch-word to non construct. Štúr as a character representate in swirl and chaos small and big world and in the whiles subject euphoria and tragedy. Poetics of Jana Juráňová come out from postmodern aesthetics non construct and feminist ideology. Her „historical discourse “is more radical and provocative. Štúr shows up as not life puppet (bust, figurine), which activates his own „pathetic words“, which are purposely fragmentary and whip away from context as well from Adela Ostrolúcka´s discourse, who honestly love him for many years, but he refuses her cold in the name of higher and greatly national ideals.
