The recording of the Radio_Head Awards, which took place on Friday, March 27, in the Great Concert Studio of Slovak Radio, did not make it onto STVR screens this year. According to the management, the reason for the strong stop sign is the expression of personal and political attitudes of some performers. As he reminds artists spoke out against interference in public media and against political decisions about money for culture.
The tension in the culture was also a topic during the Sunday broadcast of the dance show Let’s Dance on Markíza. Actors Ján Koleník and Petra Polnišová commented on the situation.
“I also want to say that in times when certain groups are trying to destroy culture in Slovakia and the situation is really not good for culture. Note that this program gave the opportunity to so many talented people this evening. We thank you for that, Pepe, and your theater, and the dancers. There are really groups that are not as visible as they were this evening, and we should be in solidarity with them.” stated the actor, for which he received applause.
Polnišová reacted in the closing speech after being eliminated from the dance competition. “And I would like to say how beautifully you support us. I hope and firmly believe that you will support culture and other such activities in Slovakia. Because so far we are not getting that support from the people we should be getting it from. And I really thank all the viewers, all the viewers, for every single vote,” she said.
She also entered the discussion Adela Vinczeováwhich, however, took a skeptical attitude to the speeches on the commercial airwaves. Denník N asked the moderator how she perceives the legacy of STVR head Martina Flašíková, who bequeathed many successes to critical artists outside the public media.
“I see it as already happening quite functionally. Other artists speak for the canceled artists on other TV channels, where they could have spoken earlier. However, nothing threatens them for this “courage”. This is how they help commercial television artfully create an illusory image of a free medium. So everything fits nicely into the colorful picture, which will fade in the squares in two days, just like all the previous ones,” said Vinczeová.
Sajfa published a private debate with Adela
This statement also appeared on the Instagram profile of her longtime colleague and friend Matej Saif Cifr. The moderator did not owe anything to his reputation. “I don’t think Adela is a bitter old curmudgeon,” he wrote a really peculiar note. Subsequently, it became clear that the shocking words did not come entirely from his head.
After the article was published, Vincze turned to him, to find out what he thought of her statement. “Isn’t that too much?” she asked him directly. Before he could write anything back, Adela sent him another message. “You can share it whenever you want. I don’t want to look like a bitter poor woman alone, but that I also have one friend,” she added. The news, originally intended only for Saif’s eyes, finally ended up on the social network, where the moderator published it. You can also find them in our photo gallery.
