Description
Milan Sladek DVD
Synopsis
This film portrait by Martin Šulík celebrates the life of Milan Sládek, a distinguished figure in Slovak culture and a leading proponent of modern pantomime. Born in Střeženice, Slovakia, Sládek was a highly talented individual drawn to creative and artistic pursuits from an early age. Little did anyone know he would become one of the world's greatest mimes. The film chronicles his journey from an artistic woodcarver to a central figure in modern theater, known for his character "Kefka." With roots in the 1950s, Sládek's extensive career took him from Bratislava to Prague, and eventually to Cologne, Germany, following the Warsaw Pact invasion. His work in Cologne helped transform the city into a hub of pantomime. Sládek's unique style, unorthodox and fresh approach, enriched with elements of abstract theater, significantly influenced his European peers. His performances have captivated and continue to charm audiences worldwide. The documentary offers a profound look at Sládek's significant contributions to the performing arts and his enduring legacy in the world of mime and modern theater.
