Hallowed be the first of May

Stanislaw Barszczak—Blue sky of May — Dear Reader, now I will fight for you, and for the modern illness and the frailty of human faith. It may be better. It’s nothing that today I am already a diver on the sea depths of our vices and smallness. I just want to write about it in the near future, the drama on the anniversary of the first of May, memorable big parades of working people. Because I walked away from the ideals of mothering. I remember when I went to school, my name was “Stach”, that was associated with a proverb: “Stach, chickens on the roof, young lady in the chimney and cap, you die.” This is stupid, so my ‘nickname’ was a bit confusing. What is it mom? My mum was really a very deeply religious mother. I see her always as a shepherd in the field. My ‘piano’ (enthusiasm for the purchase of books)-as the idea of a child, she did not take too seriously, because she felt as not talented enough in that direction. My mother quite clearly expressing his right to a child. What is probably a very “motivated” me. And indeed, I always wanted to be somebody, so I first started during a vacation from high school to study music. Since I was in a school run by priests, which severely treated music and literature. It is a tragedy of this school that was not enough performances there. But this time I read a lot and it was really great literature: W. Hugo, A. Seghers, M. Sholokhov, A. Pushkin, J. Conrad, J.I.Kraszewski, H. Sienkiewicz, E. Orzeszkowa, John Parandowski and others. In my childhood I had a moment of shyness, which is expressed in the fact that I am ashamed mum, who was slightly older than one’s of my colleagues, I remember too, that in the absence of self I blushed in the face during the Polish lessons. My continuation of the church led to a strong emotional relationship with the Church. After my baccalaureate in Czestochowa we went to Krakow. There were the theaters there: ‘Bagatela’, ‘Old’, ‘Slovacki’. That was the line of my personal destiny. After all, I was born in Tarnowskie Góry, moreover, the near Cracow, and so I’m not an opponent from abroad. Chased by the Polish word, full of artistry ”I had no plan B. I was going to be a writer or nothing”.As for the dreams of what I wanted to be, I must say that I always wanted to be a good priest, but I’m not in that respect-I guess-more talented than my fellows. I caught up on the parish pastoral and lecture demonstration test. Then I went back to Krakow, this time not lived in the seminary but in the convent of the Goodbrothers (Boni Fratres). I never cease to study human-size. By chance I saw somewhere a poster who pointed to a concert. I thought, “I will try to understand the philosophy of time and then go back to literature.” But seriously, I stayed in the theater forever. What is it mom? My mom was very wise and very open. One said:” Try to write, it’s might not boring!” My mom was not disappointed that I’m not going in the direction of music, of course I also wanted to be a doctor. When I finally went in priesthood I was finally happy. She said that the most beautiful day of her life, it was celebrating of my first Mass. Now I pray, I was a good priest. Is this a job for life, for I do not know … First of all, I was fortunate to know some outstanding people. I was in Krakow, where I was almost always a little from the outside, although I am a Pole … now I notice more of the daily human struggle. I understand life, which is a bit of ballet … which I’m interested because of the fact that it remains here as closely as possible the phenomenon of action. The great thing is that everywhere can now be realized in all dimensions – and this is most important to me – to work together for a good cause with the best people. This makes it all work is so exciting and beautiful – and although it is also difficult, it is always rewarding. In this work a writer in touch with the theater, opera (it seems to me that no accident ever studied the entire guide and the brand opera) I feel something so strong and deep, what I would call a big rooting in good … Opera is an art form of the past. The theater should be taken even the most radical interpretations of classic pieces. Working in groups of actors, made rationally, it becomes really clear and has a spectacular fruit. And while sometimes you can see even the rejection of any art, it is understandable – and it is also very interesting. This means that sometimes there are issues in which several people can be incredibly nervous on stage … After touring the Arbat in Moscow a month ago, I took a piece of Maxim Gorky titled “People like people.” Written by the show was based on the art of Gorky titled “The Zukovs”. After his stay on the island of Capri Gorky returned to Moscow and made that middle-class drama, and drama that does not lose its topicality. Maxim Gorky was a leading proponent of critical realism in Russian literature, one of the authors of the most famous in Russia. He devoted himself to the observation of social life (a radical idea for its time). In the face of the transition to a new, more complex “modern” world that is moving irrevocably towards the revolution. In his play “The Zukovs”, exposes the gap between generations – and between the sexes – on the threshold of one of the most resonant social upheavals, the Russian Revolution of 1917. Written in 1913, relates to the drama OF Antipa Zhukov, selfish timber merchant. Antipa and his son Misha, they live with his sister Sophia, who married a nobleman landowner, but remains a widow and childless for the past six years. Misha is engaged to a beautiful Pavla, but this is a bit naive. To Pavla for herself, Antipa breaks filial engagement and marries her, with predictable disastrous results for all concerned. Among the characters interesting role in the drama is Sophie, the moral center of the drama. It seems to me that the actress is of a vast field of possibilities. However, it should not play this role too lightly. I wish, so that she was our Zosia from the poem of Mickiewicz. Here are some thoughts Gorky, the last quote comes from this drama: “Every new time will give its law.” “We kill everybody, my dear. Some with bullets, some with words, and everybody with our deeds. We drive people into their graves, and neither see it nor feel it.” “In the maxim of the past you cannot go anywhere.” “The intelligentsia …was kept busy embroidering white stitches on the philosophical and ecclesiastical vestments of the bourgeoisie – that old and filthy fabric besmeared with the blood of toiling masses.” “When work is a pleasure, life is joy.! When work is a duty, life is slavery.” ”One has to be able to count if only so that at fifty one doesn’t marry a girl of twenty.” In the monologues Gorky allows himself to blunder escape from reality, but the general tenor of the drama, there is the difference of generations, the complex father and son that is very positive. You have to do be diligent. How to use modern marvels, you must be a great prophet of tomorrow … The theater fourth April 2011, there was full one. When I look at the beautiful Hall of the theater with balconies, lodges, “poses”, with a modest scene, hiding behind the Arbat’s sun there has been a moment I was tempted to jump up and do what pleases me. Suddenly I think it’s good that you can not do what you want. House from the outside is so beautiful, I do not know the old traditions and history of this house, it is ultimately so that people come here because of the performance repertoire. That is a wonderful house that is the center of town, on the promenade near the old palace Arbat’s the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All social efforts aim to ensure that the house alive, that is changing, that people come here. The theater is there to tell people about the man. This makes the theater is realized by means of language also. Emmanuel Lévinas says that thought is born of a sober mind – created in uncertainty and unexpected brilliance. For Levinas thought arises in the interface between personal experiences and structures, inherited by subsequent versions of metaphysics, which is a decrease in both cursed and blessed, because you cannot simply be dismissed. And so, even when language deceives, it remains for Lévinas the space yet another rationale. The thing is that it is consciously applied strategy of “entangling” of the word experience. Lévinas is convinced that the language of his own creative power constantly pulls out the world from ruts beaten, re-establishing the relationship between subject and reality. From this point of view, saying it is not an innocent act, and the style is not an ornament, but is intended thinker seeks to break the rigid dictates of reason. In this connection there is a best source interpersonal discourse, which was to govern is not descriptive but prescriptive language game … Director of the City Opera in Munich, Nicholas Bachler said recently: “The theater, as long as it exists, can be inspiring, it can be the builders can strive b lightening can be disturbing, even repellent. This means that the transfer of all the emotions that are present in man, moved to the theater and are there-and they have to be there. Because of the relationship to the present and highly debated aspect of the interpretation, what can I say now about the theater: “We want to see today through the eyes of an old factory,” You can do it and look at Shakespeare as an example, he took a handful of ancient material and moved it on the ground of the Renaissance. It then appeared on the scene a woman. “But what our eyes now? To be free from any errors … H. Heine wrote: “Once I was the only country. Oak there was so high and delicate violets. In the dream it all grow. He just kissed me completely like German man, spoke German to me. And now the end of this sentence shine (sadly almost did not evaluate how well it sounded): “I love you madly”, because the country has always remained a dream. “Dear Readers. I’m coming to you, do not want to stand over the masses, lead, man’s soul after the parade rolled up the flag and go to work. Together with the new Blessed, Pope John Paul II, a Pole, I want to be one of you for ever, feel the force be with you, your strength; like a man without a doubt, your great man – with his own private history, Rzecki of new a spring … As a boy something drove me in the wide world, with the mother I would go to the countryside to the family, but also to Czestochowa and Krakow. I remember Adam and me we went to Warsaw. Then, by accident, a poster contributed to my flight from Krakow in the direction of Salzburg and the Cote d’Azur. Let these memories of the Moscow theater, on the threshold of a new “first of May” now, it will reveal the enormous deposits of azure sky, faith, hope and love.
