Summary/Abstract: During her short professional career, Monika Potokárová (1992 – 2019) became a protagonist of the young generation of actors at the Drama Company of the Slovak National Theatre. She has rendered over forty diverse roles in the productions directed by acclaimed Slovak and international directors. She was a genuine protagonist of tragic heroines of classical repertoires, and her versatile talent enabled her to create characters defying psychological and realistic canons of Slovak drama acting. The study highlights the most significant roles of the young actress and it endeavours to define her pliability, flexibility, and the uniqueness of her artistic personality.
