Musicals in Madrid
Although it is often a easy target, for a certain sector of both music snobs and the, supposedly serious drama, the truth is that musicals have a hardly negligible power of fascination for anyone who has overcome their prejudices and have been fortunate attend one of the good ones. But regardless of the quality of production, musicals are from more than one point of view a phenomenon that represents some of the most essential features and attractive performing arts, beginning with the principle of suspension of disbelief. Everything that happens in a musical, no matter how crazy or unrealistic it may be, is accepted by the public without protest and without scandal as far as concerns credibility under one of the oldest of dramatic conventions, which opens up an amazing range of possibilities for illusion and play that is highly attractive for both the spectators and theater artists. Add to this, the spectacular media advertising that often accompanies this type of performances, often -related to sensitivity in the ways contemporary artists of our time, we can state without hesitation that the contemplation of a good music can be comparable in intensity, depth and emotion to any other theatrical event, however dressed in high culture it comes. For at least a decade, the Madrid’s Gran Via has been strongly committed to star musicals in its chimerical intention to compete someday with the quality and variety of London´s West End. Certainly, the urban setting could hardly be more propitious. Among the musicals that tourists will be able to see in January, the recreation in the Teatro Lope de Vega (Gran Vía,...
My Fair Lady Musical in Vienna
It´s natural that we want to relive the past, remember it and intensify its memory through music or art. The funny thing is when the surfaces of the arts mix together creating one group. And so, musicals keep on surprising and charming us with its proposals full of dancing, sound, acting, costumes and scenography. It´s worth seeing ´My Fair Lady´ live, because in this musical they maintain some of the customs and conservatism which are talked about so much in today´s day and age. ´My Fair Lady´ is a musical which tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young girl who sells flowers on the street and who moves to the mansion of the phonetics professor Henry Higgins. Due to a bet with his friend, Coronel Pickering, Higgins decides to take over Eliza´s education, deciding to instruct her in the best forms of expression, good dressing and table manners, with the aim of turning her into a ´lady of society´. After many attempts and errors, Eliza becomes an ´educated lady´ of London´s society. After a somewhat intense drama where Higgins gives himself all credit for having ´saved the lady´ from the danger of mis-education and with Eliza knowing that a lot of that was achieved thanks to his efforts, they both fall in love, completing the perfect circle of singular stories of rags to riches. Despite that this musical will fascinate you with its beautiful songs, past times costumes, clothing and a fabulous scenography in the city of Vienna, we have to give good account of the conservatism that this show implies. The tension between upper and lower classes is mainly...Aqua Diagonal Wellness Centre Barcelona

Professional Bull Riders in New York
Perhaps few things describe very well, the main features that make up the image of what is essentially to be an American, as the rodeo activities, often qualified by its followers as the world´s toughest sport. The cowboy image symbolize, supported on advertising, television and films, the archetype of an independent American, tough, mysterious and taciturn, a being of border that embodies the spirit of the pioneer capable of making his way in hostile and unknown lands, dominated by nature. In his book Lila, An Inquiry Into Morals, the author Robert M Pirsig U.S. reflected on the way the most characteristic features which often identifies the American cowboy, seem almost as an identical mirror that evokes the figure of the American Indians, true natives of a land that was taken away from them in a singularly cruel by the bloody and genocidal hands of the European settlers. Traits such as generosity and confidence in himself, an enigmatic silence, only broken by a surprisingly accurate measurement and choice of words (never spoken just to fill or kill time), a state of permanent alert, a developed sense of ritual, decent behavior, modest, reserved and dignified, as well as a certain willingness to sudden outbursts of extreme violence, would be just some of the features of the cultural values of the Native Americans that may be reflected in the figure of the white American cowboy, which appeals to the heart of the nation identified as the historical cultural system of American values , source of all that is considered good unconsciously by most of the inhabitants of the country. Pirsig argues that...Sevilla Guía
