Life

[edit]

Paška was born 18 May 1999 in Bratislava.[1] After working as an assistant in several Prague theatres, he studied theatre directing at the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna (mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna) from 2018 to 2022, where his professors included Anna Maria Krassnigg, David Bösch, Dušan David Pařízek and Martin Kušej.[2]

Since completing his studies, he has focused on staging both classical and modern dramas, adapting well-known as well as overlooked works of world literature, and developing interdisciplinary, authorial projects characterized by an expressive directorial style. He carries out his projects internationally to engage with diverse political contexts and theatrical traditions, while maintaining a primary focus on German-speaking countries.[3]

His production of Nathalie Sarraute's 'The Silence' was selected for the 2022 Körber Studio Junge Regie festival and the premiere of Thomas Perle's play “ein jedermann” at the Romanian Teatrul National Radu Stanca was included in the programme of the international theatre festival FITS.[2][4]
