BÉČKA

Statistically, it is calculated that 0.0086% of the population can experience fame. In Slovakia, this represents 466 people. This number consists of people from business, politics, media, professional professions such as doctors and scientists, but also participants of reality shows and influencers. Only a part of this number belongs to people from the dramatic arts - and every year approximately 30 new actors and actresses come out of our schools.

Michal Belej's author's play was created for the assignment of the artistic group Príchod Godot. It is based on personal experiences and doubts that haunt actress Heidi Šinková and actor Ľuboš Janák. Both of them, being trained actors, have not yet received worldly fame - and every year the question of what it is becomes more and more irresistible. Standing over the abyss of recognition, they themselves are not clear about it - whether they will one day manage to jump into it, fall into it or just shed tears on its edge - just like each of us secretly before the reunion from high school after xy years.
