BRATISLAVA (SITA) - Fans of pantomime will see samples of the generation gap in the way of playing and in sight in the philosophy of pantomime during the third annual Festival of Movement Theater Kaukliar '98, to be held in Bratislava between June 12 and June 20. Milan Sládek, a well-known mime, organizer of the festival, and director of the Arena Theater, announced this at a press conference on the festival in Bratislava on Tuesday. He sees the power and attractiveness of the festival in the opportunity to select the program of the performing groups according to everybody's own liking. Sládek said that despite the fact that the festival is organized by makeshift means for the third time, the interest of foreign ensembles engaged in pantomime and movement theater is great. Kaukliar '98 will open with Sládek's solo program. During the following days ensembles from Germany, France, Poland, and Hungary will perform. A street theater of pantomime from Great Britain will perform at the Hlavne Namestie in Bratislava between June 12 and June 14. Reconstruction of the Arena Theater should have been originally concluded in October 1997; however, because of a shortage of funds, the theater has been not put into full operation so far. Sládek hopes that on the occasion of the festival, the whole ground part of the building will be put into operation. Milan Sládek (60) studied dramatic arts at the Academy of Music and Drama tic Arts in Bratislava, but after the first year he continued studies in Prague under the leadership of Czech director Emil Frantisek Burian. Following his emigration in 1970, he performed in Cologne, Germany, as a mime and was a professor of pantomime in Essen. In 1994 he established Arena, the International Institute for Movement Theater, in Bratislava.
