The production MATE by the promising director Silvia Vollmannová is a story about life on campus narrated with a detached view.  Funny fragments from lives of two young men capture the stereotypical notions about university students. Spectators watch the process of forming of a great friendship without exaggerated emotions – the guys have to play it cool, right?
The production was created during the rehearsal process and is strongly based on true stories of the creative team.

Silvia Vollmannová (1991) studied Directing and Dramaturgy of Puppet Theatre at the Theatre Faculty at VŠMU academy in Bratislava.
