The dance comedy Slovak Christmas with the subtitle Comedy about the creation of the world and what happened next is already a traditional opus of SĽUK. In his work, the author was inspired mainly by Slovak folk theater, which represents an inimitable synthesis of sacred and profane themes. They found their image in the Bethlehem plays and traditional parades with a folk theater of this period (Walking with a Snake, The Game of Herod, The Search for Overnight, Three Kings and others). In general, it is mainly a depiction of biblical motifs related to the birth of Jesus Christ, the appearance of the Star of Bethlehem and the homage of the three sages “from the East.” This created a unique dance comedy project in two acts.
