Pedagogy and acting - Tonko Lonza and Neva Rošić about Krleža's characters

Tonko Lonza i Neva Rošić zadužili su hrvatsko glumište svojim izvanrednim ulogama u kazalištu i na filmu. Njihove velike karijere, zbog kojih su i danas jednako prepoznatljivi, stvarane su dugogodišnjim kvalitetnim umjetničkim radom na brojnim predstavama u Hrvatskoj i u inozemstvu. Suradnja s najvećim kazališnim stručnjacima „starog kova“, poput Branka Gavelle, oplemenila je njihov glumački izričaj i učinila ga jedinstvenim i nenadmašivim. Uz bogatu karijeru, ovaj se glumački par istaknuo i u pedagoškom radu. Kao profesori glume i scenskoga govora na zagrebačkoj Akademiji dramske umjetnosti, svojim su specifičnim metodama odgojili generacije vrhunskih glumaca i glumica. U radu se, eksperimentalnom metodom, autoričina tri privatna razgovora s glumačkim velikanima Tonkom Lonzom i Nevom Rošić objedinjuju u formi drame u tri čina. U prvom činu naziva „O Krležinim likovima“ Tonko Lonza i autorica-studentica razgovaraju o njegovim ulogama u Krležinim dramama te o njegovom i Nevinom poznanstvu s ovim velikim hrvatskim književnikom. Drugi čin „Dragi moj Tonko“ i treći čin „Neva“ donose svojevrstan pregled Tonkove i Nevine glumačke pedagogije. Dva su čina isprekidana povećim digresijama koje donose pogled na teme razgovora iz stručnog konteksta.Tonko Lonza and Neva Rošić indebted the Croatian theater and film with their extraordinary acting roles.
