The study deals with the not very well documented relationship between the founders of Slovak professional theatre following World War II. The relationship between Janko Borodáč, director of the East Slovak National Theatre in Košice, and the artistic director, Andrej Chmelko, have long been perceived as art-related, predominantly only in one direction, with the clear dominance of Borodáč. The work analyses the artistic and human interconnections of their relationship contributing to the decisive moments in the creation of the Košice Theatre, which had for many years determined the artistic level of all its ensembles.

The birth of the Slovak National Theatre did not immediately yield the growth of Slovak drama and Slovak theatre art. Its dramaturgical and staging challenges were just waiting for the first Slovak actors, dramaturges, and directors. In the early years of his career, by gradual steps, Ján Borodáč endeavoured to promote the Slovakness of the predominantly Czech drama ensemble of the national theatre. In person and in writing, he frequently exchanged views with the leading figures of Slovak culture, including the literary critic Štefan Krčméry. The discovered correspondence of Borodáč corroborates his efforts and supplements and clarifies some issues regarding the professionalization of theatre in the 1920s.
