Confirmation Catholic

LA PECORINA (Dramma Pastorale)


Texts conceived, written and tested by us. This pecorino (Drama Ministry) is a significant change of direction with respect to our past play. Yes, because we at "Those of Astaroth" do "a theater of the word" or should I say "copyright". We staged Stefano Benni, Edoardo Erba, Furio Bordon. Even extracted from a blog of Frank Sanzo. Theater and literature become so close, the approach to the show is so "intellectual".

But not now. Now there is a danger of our own. Writing the show ourselves the creative Effortless is complete. We follow the whole process leading to the spectacle that the audience will see: concept, writing, content evaluation, testing and messincena show in front of the public. Many theater companies in the Netherlands (which I admire) work this way. Italian companies (also those of the "theater of the word") tend to take ready-copyright texts, possibly classics and put them on stage.

Well, we'll see what will come out with this new show. Tomorrow night is the dress rehearsal and Saturday night is the first. Sure doggy-style (Drama Ministry) moves between pastures are not always green and lush. There are often wuthering. The texts written and acting are over the top, sarcastic, extremes. There are interviews with Desdemona and Ot (h) ello who are in the balance between the absurd and satire. The public is encouraged, enabled, perhaps provoked.

not want to forget the music. The beautiful songs performed by Stephen Sebastian and form a recurrent theme parallela importanza di un momento con i testi.

Insomma ci vediamo li, no? Sabato 2 ottobre a 20.30 all- ASTAROTHEATRO Teatro da Camera

Eating Makes My Face Hot

The road from La strada del Aqua water

Tijdens de lessen van School Italy teach the students to talk as much as possible. So if you should try talking with your story to continue. Do you know a word you are trying to tell the same story with other words or phrases. In other words, be creative and communicative and try anyway move forward with your story. Daan student tells about his vacation: mountains, nature, lakes. And a nice "strada del Aqua" (away from the water). Yes, Daan knew the word "fiume (river) not in Italian. And "strada del Aqua" is his creative solution to the concept of river to communicate without the Italian word "fiume" to know. Is not this brilliant?

\u0026lt;>\u0026lt;>\u0026lt;>\u0026lt;>\u0026lt;>

During lessons Italy School, the students learn to speak as much as possible. So if you are talking you should try to continue their story at any cost. If you do not know a word you try to go on using synonyms or expressions. In other words: be creative and communicative. The student Daan tells of his vacation: mountains, nature, lakes. It also has a beautiful "water way". Yes, Daan did not know the word "river" in Italian. "Water Street" is sinonimo il suo stato, che lo ha strategenna Usato esprimere per il Concetto di "fiume" non conoscendo la parola in italiano. Pur di anadare avanti nella sua narrazione. Non è genius?

Tendonitis What Body System?

Europe's future, according Beppe GrilloIl dell'Europa futuro secondo Beppe Grillo


"You call us Italians" Wop ". Like we're a bunch of gnomes. But we are just very dangerous. We have invented fascism. And banks, your Dutch banks are also based on the bank of Genoa, San Giorgio Bank. We have all wrongdoing in the world invented. We have a terrible virus. This quote by Beppe Grillo is one of the strongest statements During the documentary series "The attack on Europe from VPRO / Backlight . This film ( "The Future of Europe by Beppe Grillo" about Italy, the revival of Europe and left young ) is broadcast on Monday, September 20 at 20.55 hours on the Netherlands in February. Highly recommended!

Beppe Grillo's between a stand-up comedian and a comedian. Well known in Italy but completely unknown in the Netherlands. Yet his message is directed to Europe. Good thing the VPRO has understood this. But Grillo is more than an entertainer. He is a (political) became activist. And also a thinker and the founder of a large movement that is very critical to the Italian Government but also links do not save. Grillo suggests that ordinary people the power to take back into their own hands. The power must leave the politicians and get back to the people. Not for nothing are the "Grillini" very active at the local level.

This afternoon I have the preview of the documentary about Beppe Grillo can see. The VPRO has a good idea to enable people in the "Grillini-group" of Amsterdam invite. The chosen location for this (the Hilton Hotel, a bastion of neoliberal Italy) took some less good, but yes, it can never be perfect. In any case, I am sure glad I've seen the movie. I knew a lot of one way or another, but where Grillo in the film very strongly, is when he talks about Europe. In Europe, where the original ideals of culture and social democracy completely lost. Instead, the power of money the only thing that counts in Europe: the financial, banking and speculating.

Beppe Grillo sometimes has an idealized image of the Netherlands: social democracy, the welfare state. On the other hand, he warns Netherlands: populism, the failure of the left, the ruling capitalist approach to all human activities.

Look at Monday this documentary. VPRO and thanks! (Very soon an interview with Radio Onda Italian met Jos de Putter, eindredacteur van "De Toekomst van volgens Beppe Grillo Europe." Het wordt vervolgt ...)

<> <> <> <> <>


"We call mangiaspaghetti and think that we Italians are funny and cute." In fact we are extremely hazardous. Fascism invented here, as well as banks. Your Dutch banks are based on the model of the bank of Genoa, the bank of San Giorgio. We invented all the crimes of the world. We are like a terrible virus. " Beppe Grillo is this quote from one of the strongest moments of the documentary that the broadcaster VPRO / Tegenlicht dedicated to this Italian phenomenon. The documentary, whose title is "De Toekomst van volgens Europe Beppe Grillo" is part of an interesting series that seeks to understand different issues like the crisis of European social democracy, or the rampant neo-liberalism.

The Italians know very well who is Beppe Grillo and they know equally well the existence of "Grillini. Although the media have ignored up to this phenomenon of significant size, I do not think there is an Italian who has not heard of the V-day, for example.

For the Dutch and the rest of Europe, is a different matter. No one knows who Grillo in Italy and what do the millions of people who follow his thinking in some way. The VPRO has understood the potential of the message Grillo and this film has seen fit to resume the issues and to propose the Dutch public. Not a chance. The Netherlands is in a phase of political crisis idelogica size still difficult to assess. Social democracy, social status, tolerance of 360 degrees, all the typical elements of Dutch society, are increasingly challenged to be replaced by the neoliberal privatization, individualism obtuse, from financial speculation. Even the Dutch can make good use of the message of Grillo and certainly the part that concerns the management of the economy and the vision on Europe.

afternoon the VPRO has invited the group of grillini Amsterdam to show them and their friends in the movie preview Grillo. I went there willingly, and it is really worth it. Sola criticized the choice of the place where the screening took place: the Hilton Hotel, formerly known as the clearinghouse for commercial-neoliberalistica vision of Italy in the Netherlands.

Oh well, a must in any event advise the broadcast of the documentary itself: Monday, September 20 at 20:55 on NL2. Here more information. And then shortly on Radio Onda Italian interview with Jos de Putter, editor of "De Toekomst van Beppe Grillo in Europe ". To be continued ...
(Grazie VPRO)

What Color Shutters For Light Blue House

Working with / for ItaliëLavorare with / to Italy


For years I work in Italy. What does this mean? No, not importing wines from Sicily or olive oil from Tuscany. I am involved with Italian culture . A nice "product", one might say. And here starts the al I do not want Italy as "product" approach. At least not in the commercial sense. This is already widespread. The endless repetition of the stereotype: the tower of Pisa, the perpetual espresso, the Tuscan countryside where you undoubtedly half home for sale shortly. The
commerce, the wild marketing, often the wrong people of Italy have made something ugly: a neo-liberal "product" good for the tasteless consumption of the nouveau riche and their clones associated with the dream of a Ferrari. Pasolini would turn in his grave. No, I want nothing to do. With an Italy that is synonymous with conservatism and endless repetition of the same (read: Mannerism).
For years I work (often volunteer) for Foundation Quelli di Astaroth " because here I find a group of people who another Italy wants to show. The Italy of today, where people not only with the Colosseum, Renaissance and mozzarella busy. The theater of our Foundation for example, plays by Stefano Benni and Edoardo Erba but also to acts inspired futurism / Dadaism. Our radio broadcasts interviews with Dario For, Frans Weisz and Rudi Fuchs.
The two editions of the festival "Cinemissimo" of documentaries and feature films, never before in the Netherlands.

Finally Scuola d'Italia . An education which I am personally very proud of. Language with a communicative approach where students "really" listening and talking. Not only grammar and exercises, but the living language . None stereotypical fashion and expensive design, but learned the language by modern media and contemporary literature. No ready-made method, but tailor-made lessons focusing on small groups of students.
lot of work to make this possible, but also a pleasure to do this work. And all in the name of commerce and profit, not by the empty image of the marketing, but since me and Quelli di Astaroth Italy to invest in this, another Italy. And so it is working with Italy almost works ... for Italy. Oh yeah, all courses start again from September 20th!

<> <> <> <> <>

L'Italia, anni che ci lavoro. No, I do not commute Amstedam-Bologna and even amount of wine or oil. I deal with Italian culture, a good "product" with which to work. Product? But I do not want to use Italy as a commercial product. This already happens on a large scale. The endless repetition of the stereotype: the tower of Pisa, good coffee every 2 minutes, the Tuscan countryside with the inevitable sale to the North European second home for warmth and flavor.
sales, marketing, wild, often the wrong people have done something bad in Italy: a "product" neoliberal "good to be consumed by the nouveau riche and their clones, all framed a dream of a Ferrari. Pasolini would turn in his grave. No, I do not want to have anything to do with it. Synonymous with an Italy of a conservative world where lies the endless repetition of the same things (read: way).
work for years (mostly as a volunteer) for the foundation "Those of Astaroth" because here I found a group of people who wants to show another Italy. The Italy of today, for example, where people have a well-lter to think that the Colosseum, Renaissance or mozzarella cheese (blue). The theater we do for example: the staging of texts by Stefano Benni or Edoardo Erba or acts inspired by Futurism / Dada. And then the radio with our interviews with Dario For and Erik Gandini. Then again the two editions of filmfestival "Cinemissimo" with fiction and documentaries never before shown in the Netherlands. Finally

: School Italy, an educational project that is one of my points of pride. Lessons of Italian and Dutch with a communicative approach to language, where corsisiti truly understand and speak. The language part of the culture of film and theater-quality, stimulating and literature class, language, vivid and authentic. No lessons predigested and based on aseptic methods and artificial, but a personalized educational inputs adattato ai piccoli gruppi e-class. Tanto lavoro, ma anche un lavoro che è un piacere fare. E tutto questo non certo nel nome del commercialismo e del profitto, ma perché io e Quelli di Astaroth vogliamo Investire in un'altra Italia. Ed è così che con l'Italia lavorare lavorare diventa quasi un ... per l'Italia .

Where Does Amazing Ty Live

Subtle sexism

I read a question & answer on D of the Republic with the architect Mario Botta and my head is in this exchange:

D: "He enters a room where there are three women: who and why it attracts your attention?"
MB: "The more property, the more silent

.....

But we imagine the same things said about a man? Am I wrong, or belongs to a generation attached to the myth of the woman who is not a problem?

ps I also like Mario Botta still and silent.

Pandabolletjes op de Noordermarkt



It was long ago: two months ago to be exact. When the last piece I wrote on this blog, I was busy in Love Pinocchio. Now, two months later, I'm still working on anything and everything, but also to the effects of Pinocchio.

"Panda Balls" is a short text that I wrote for the 2007 performance of OTHERWISE Quelli di Astaroth . When Gijs (conductor Ricciotti Ensemble ) asked me if I had a thing for the music of the orchestra, I Panda Balls sent. Misha, my Sporck text put to music for Ricciotti. And so a funny sentiment unpretentious included in a score. I am very happy. During the summer tour of the Ricciotti Ensemble (from Pinocchio in Love) I used Panda balls in different locations can occur. All surrounded with an orchestra consisting of 40 musicians.

And now: the Noordermarkt Amsterdam is famous for its delicious organic products. On Saturday, September 11 at 13:00 will Ricciotti Ensemble performs at the North Market. Panda balls is included in the program . Many people will come to ... errands on the market!

PANDA SCOOPS

the bakery around the corner. Familiar. Years.

quality is really not special, but I do not have far to buy a few balls. Very easy.

panda balls, I found a nice bonus. Nothing special at all, but nice with cheese or salami. It has also long time before I could remember that name. Panda balls. I thought that was such a strange name. I never dared to ask why they are called. Not really so important.

But one day:

"Panda balls we have not."

"Oh! Why?

"It did not. At the end of the day they were not sold. "

" Was I the only customer who bought them? "

" Yes, you want something else? "


2 months have passed since the last article I wrote on this blog. Time to start over. 2 months ago I was in the middle of the production of Pinocchio in Love. Now, the past two months, are still busy with the consequences of that Pinocchio.


"Pandabolletjes"
is a short text I wrote in Dutch in 2007 during the show ANDERS of Those of Astaroth. In Pandabolletjes story of "panda sandwiches" that for years I bought the bakery on the corner. When Gijs (the conductor of Ricciotti Ensemble ) asked me to propose something to their repertoire, I sent this text. And that's how I found my story unpretentious music by Misha Stork: in short, a real score. It was fun to present it at various shows throughout the summer on tour Ricciotti, the shift in Love Pinocchio, so to speak.


Now Saturday, September 11 at 13.00 to revive Pandabolletjes Noodermarkt as part of their program Music Ricciotti Ensemble . The Noordermarkt is also famous for its market of organic products. E così molta gente Sicura mente surprised ... se non altro per fare la spesa.
