Gloria in Excelsis Dev

“Gufi’s Country”

• Gufi – king in the Land of the Blind, pretends to be blind as all his servants
• Lulu – jester; can see with one eye and mocks his king for keeping his kingdom in blindness
• Iola – kings’s daughter; must get married and take the pesky buffoon off the king’s head
• Robderoua – hero, saves the day by bringing the colors back in the castle, fucks the bride

Overall the play was AWESOME! Bravo to all puppeteers once again and many thanks to Matasari 17 for hosting this.

Even though it’s just a kid’s story, in front of a mature audience it brings shaded everyday questions to light. Like ‘am I really who I am or am I just societies puppet’. Of course, it all goes away after a beer or two but that moment, that moment  of incertitude still itches a blind spot in our mind.

this was something. first time i can swear I didn’t understand anything. at all. and nor did I try to. preferred to relax and enjoy the bizarre and pleasant performance. which captivated me and at times seemed to distort reality. maybe I was falling asleep. maybe it was magic. dunno.

“Bolero” – a short history of mankind drawn by Milo Manara. War, sex, politics, religion, abuse, violence, slavery, greed it’s all there. Who are we to call ourselves civilized?

Almost a month passed since I last attended the première of “Romeo and Juliet” at the National Musical Theater. And I was in for quite a surprise as today’s performance, of “The Vysotsky Odyssey” was really great! Not, staggering as some of the more conservative folks in the audience might say, just spiced up to my delight with fast paced Russian music and scenes ispired from the dark past of CCCP (or USSR if you prefer). Stories from 20 or so songs of the “the most famous Russian bard” were enacted in a psychedelic circus like way, giving reason to doubt society, friends, family and religion. This is not a show for the faint hearted or for people unwilling to see behind the scenes.
