Show Notes
What happens when art confronts indifference, fear, and political inertia? We talk with Tomáš Eštok, founder of Spare Parts Theater, Bohdan Metenkanych, director of their upcoming production The Normal Heart, and Seán MacDiarmada, actor and co-host of Slovak Sound Check, about their unique English-language theatre in Slovakia and its strong social and political commentary. The conversation centres on The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer’s powerful play about the AIDS crisis, and its renewed — and at times surprising — relevance in post-pandemic Slovakia.
As always, the programme concludes with a new edition of our language corner, Slovak Sound Check.
