Magical and beloved sites in Rome
If there´s a city where it´s hard to point out a series of magical sites, that city is Rome, and not exactly due to its lack of them but because of the opposite, because of the overwhelmingness of them. However it´s not easy to leave aside a mention to the Keats and Shelley House-Museum (http://www.keats-shelley-house.org/), not only for its delicate beauty and its exceptional location next to the impressive baroque white stairs of the unforgettable Piazza di Spagna, which is impossible to determine whether it´s more famous or more beautiful, but also for being perhaps the biggest pagan temple erected to Romanticism, a pilgrimage centre for the followers of an impulse that shaped modern sensitiveness. Among true relics such as a lock of Keats´ hair and his death mask or the urn that contains the ashes of Shelley´s body – whose cadaver was so badly disfigured by birds and fish that he could only be identified thanks to the Keats book that he had with him at the time of his drowning-, burned by the seaside in a Greek-style bonfire in a ceremony officiated by Byron which is worthy of being labelled legendary, the house contains valuable mementos, such as personal letters, documents and an extraordinary and extensive library. Equally as emotive, for reasons perhaps not far away from the aforementioned romantic spirit, the Mausoleum of Augustus (Piazza Augusto Imperatore/via Ripetta) is a perfect reminder of the vanity of all things and the devastating effect of the passing of time. It´s hard to understand at first sight, that this forlorn brick cylinder, originally covered in pillars and marble statues, flanked by two...
Tanzolymp: International Dance Festival in Berlin
In the recent Wim Wenders’ film called “Pina” (2011), we discovered the fabulous world of the choreographer Pina Bausch through her disciples and dance accomplices, all of them, members of her dance company. The most captivating of this movie is certainly the unique way in which each of its characters tells his story to Pina, the link that brought them together, how they interacted and what she meant in their lives. Above the story of the film itself, the stories told and dialogues; it is noteworthy that the Wim Wenders’ film was available in 3D cinemas; the ones who tell their story, express it through the body , their movements and possibilities. Body language becomes the protagonist of the film’s story, while accessing the metaphorical Pina’s body, now almost immaterial, from the movements and gestures of these dancers. Especially the effect of modern dance, in which the body becomes its own expression machine without wrapping, or dancing shoes, minimalist clothing, no elements or reduced elements, produce that on stage is the body or bodies dialogue without restraint, even at liberty from the rigor of the choreography. When we watch a modern dance show, if we pay attention, it is mostly about moderate and make a difference. This Wim Wenders’ film is a very interesting production of art from every viewpoint. Just pay attention to the disparate size of members, alignments that have nothing to do with the particular style of each one but how they function as parts of a whole, from their own talents and interaction with the rest of the group. In addition Pina, you can see...Sacher Confiserie Vienna

Theatre, Luces de Bohemia in Madrid
The National Drama Centre presents at the Maria Guerrero Theatre in Madrid one of its most ambitious and elaborate productions, “Luces de Bohemia” by Valle-Inclan. Lluís Homar, actor and director, who throughout his career has participated in major works like “Hamlet,” “The Three Sisters” and “The Misanthrope by Molière is Responsible for the direction. For one who are not familiar with “Luces de Bohemia” it is the title of one of the most important Spanish plays of the twentieth century, and which led to the creation of an entirely new theatrical genre, the grotesque. Valle created with the grotesque characters a degraded gameplay of a warped outlook on life who are presented as deformed figures. Bars, taverns, brothels, squalid houses or unsafe streets are some of the typical scenarios where grotesque characters tend to hang out usually being drunks, beggars or failed artists. “Luces de Bohemia” is believed to reflect the life of Alejandro Sawa. Sawa left an unpublished book of poems after his death, and the story of that tragic life is the one Valle used to bring to life the story of Max Estrella. Only through cruelty and the bitterness of absurdity we can get a glimpse of the wonderful points of tenderness and the nudity of characters who abandon all hope and therefore show their inside innocence . In “Lights of Bohemia” we discover how Max Star shows us, in his idleness, how unjust and oppressive a country be with some of its people, shaping the atmosphere of true responsibility and creating human scarecrows . In the XII scene we find some key phrases in the...Lo Güeno Málaga
