Muscles Used In Shot Put

Del prendere parte


curtain fell and the lights out: this is usually the time when, after a sigh of relief, reckoning, you make the first tentative intentions and plans for the future - which for us, since we are in Sicily and not to disprove anything, takes the form of an eternal present and expanded not only in grammar but also and especially when you try to plan activities with a minimum of perseverance and perspective .
But first we would like ritual duties thanks to indulge in a little reflection on the concept of "participation" , and we do provide us with the idea that two letters from our viewers; giuntaci a few days before the festival, the 'other a couple of days after closing.

The first of two letters entered subito nel vivo di quella che senza dubbio è stata la novità più tangibile dell'edizione 2008 di Teatri in Città , ovvero l'introduzione di un biglietto d'ingresso (€5 per singolo evento, €15 l'abbonamento per cinque serate):

"Per la prima volta ho scoperto la serie di spettacoli proposti da questa associazione culturale un anno fa, agosto 2007. Casualmente mi è giunta voce di questi eventi culturali, ne sono rimasto colpito ed entusiasta per l'intraprendenza dell'organizzazione e la professionalità dei partecipanti.
Il tutto coronato da un sacro principio, ossia quello di permettere al popolo to be able to enjoy the cultural production of their land in the most free as possible.
With great surprise and regret I have noticed that this year it will not, this does not prevent me from participating in events that I waited for a year but may reduce incentives for many of the already low percentage of the audience's past to present. I wonder why there was this jump but obviously the answer is pretty obvious.
My irritation to see that a price has been fixed to the shows, for a moment made me give up but I believe strongly in your initiative and will support it anyway. "


Without riproporvi for the entire collection of letters (the most curiosi possono comunque trovare qui ) vorremmo ribadire che il piccolo "sacrificio" richiesto al pubblico di Teatri in Città è stata sì una necessità dettata dalla quasi totale assenza di contributi economici istituzionali, ma anche e soprattutto la richiesta di una scelta consapevole di sostegno e partecipazione che comprende il rispetto verso il lavoro degli artisti e degli organizzatori, il valore personale che si attribuisce al coltivare i propri interessi ed alla possibilità di fruirne nel migliore dei modi, e molto altro ancora.
Avendo ben presente lo stato pressoché vegetativo in cui versano gli enti pubblici in Sicilia (ma anche nel resto della nazione) dal punto di vista delle finanze, possiamo realisticamente prevedere che Teatri in Città difficilmente tornerà mai più ad essere una manifestazione ad ingresso gratuito; possiamo però adoperarci, e cercheremo in tutti i modi di farlo, insieme ad enti pubblici, istituzioni e sponsor, affinché il contributo richiesto al pubblico rientri sempre nei limiti del "giusto", per consentire a quante più persone lo desiderino di partecipare degnamente al festival.
E questo ci conduce direttamente alla seconda lettera:

"Ieri sera ho partecipato allo spettacolo “Desideranza” messo in scena Villa Patti Caltagirone.
not accidentally use the word "part" because the involvement of the representation given me requires a password which gives you a sense of focus and attend this. If I were an expert in the theater I could give this suggestion to the perfect balance of intense narrative rhythm, impeccable synthesis of expressive acting, the completeness of the text, the ability to dynamically fill the stage space, the fascination of the play of light.
However, if I were an expert in theater, if I knew furnish and motivate these and other technical reasons, none of them would know to account for the emotion that 'wanting to "give me: the agonizing feeling of the decision to break ties obsessive yet reassuring that in an increasingly growing and complex feeling, becomes an epic act of supreme freedom.
not an accomplice-bankruptcy waiver of the extraordinarily effective lighting arrangement seemed to be the flight-Pino and Sergio soprasopra the window of the room, but the choice of brave and cut the reciprocity of a deadly addiction. It is not passively waiting for an external event, but look for the absolute zenith, the will to make the bold gesture to the passage of the saint.
But are not those of Sergio Pino, the daring and epic ethereal Greek heroes, but firmness and boldness, the interior force, the fierce determination that only brotherly love can be drawn from the mutual basis.
For all these sensations and the other for which I can not find the words: thank you! "


Words like these can magically to" close the circle ", to give a deeper meaning to the work that we have chosen and that choose, daily and stubbornly, to continue, and in this eternal present of stubbornness and battles, they make us feel less alone.

Thanks, then, the friend who loved so much Wishing , and all others who have tested - for that or for other shows - the same emotions, thanks to all the public for following each performance, despite their legitimate differences of degree, with immense respect, attention and curiosity.

Thanks to Silvia, Daniel and Roberta, the volunteers who have assisted in the logistics of the festival: young girls who were participating for the first time from "within" a cultural event for which we hope to have opened small new horizons in view of their interests.

Thanks to Paul, David, Simon, Mark, Melissa, Vincent, Anna, Adriana and Salvo: the guys Gesticulating that have remained with us until the end and, hopefully, we remain close to other firms ( our own and each other). Thanks to the artists

, as always, to estimate that confirm us in accepting our hospitality to the limit of conditions that are often "symbolic".

Thanks to the Municipality of Caltagirone (in the person of Vice-Mayor Alex Foti, we've seen singing and clapping in the front row with I Bedd ...) and the sponsor of Theatres in City 2008, for having supported anyway.

Thanks to the staff of Villa Patti for availability and day care, with Robert Joy for the management of "any other business", and Billy the dog , gourmet cheese and a great admirer of fresh ...

The blog remains open as usual for us and for you, comments, stories, incentives and prods.

13 Year Old In Thongs Pic

Malastrada


C’è un luogo in Sicilia, il suo capo estremo a nord est, che dovrebbe essere lo scenario di un intervento che ha occupato, e continua ancora a farlo, le menti di politici, di ingegneri, di società e di tanta gente comune. Si tratta del progetto del ponte sullo stretto di Messina . Di tanto in tanto, con l’avvicendarsi di governi, economie e sistemi politici, l’idea del ponte ritorna puntuale a impegnare dibattiti uguali in Parlamento come nei bar, oppure rimane assopita, nascosta nelle profondità marine, proprio come i mitici mostri Scilla e Cariddi. Non si discute qui della sua necessità, dell’importanza socio-economica, della sua urgenza civile, non sono questi argomenti of interest in this context. There is talk of other things: houses and roads would be destroyed, razed to the ground cemeteries, and private forest would disappear trades and micro-economies, therefore, would be dangerously undermined the social fabric, so delicate in his already precarious balance for long-standing, centuries-old issues that still make south, the "South". The question that arises before the idea of \u200b\u200bthis posting, too large to be able to offer you a measurement in itself is a meditation on consciousness, not only of individuals but also, and perhaps most importantly, the social groups and family: we can keep loyal to our moral integrity in the face of blackmail that will force us to change casa, abitudini e modi di pensare?

Un’isola, un deserto quasi. Una famiglia - padre, madre e figlio - in viaggio verso la “strada” che collega l’isola al continente. Un pellegrinaggio attraverso percorsi ormai cancellati , al buio, senza nemmeno una lampadina. L’attraversamento, obiettivo finale del viaggio, incuneandosi come subdola promessa tra i legami affettivi, scatena il conflitto, il crollo definitivo della comunicazione, e trascina i tre protagonisti verso una violenza, che, sempre in agguato nel loro non dire, mette a nudo le miserie del ricatto.

Malastrada ”, proposto dal Teatro Pubblico Incanto (da anni ormai ospite abituale e graditissimo delle nostre rassegne), è stato segnalato al Premio Tuttoteatro.com – Dante Cappelletti 2007 : " ...l'ambiguità e l'eloquenza dei maestri della drammaturgia dell'ultimo 900, calano su uno scenario siciliano, illuminato dal buio e dal non detto.”

I viaggi del Sultano


"We're idiots, but not to the point of a journey out of pure delight."
This phrase Beckett - Vince Cascone says - sums up the force that animates "The Sultan variant" . Search for truth that comes across traditions and microcosms difficult to summarize except from a beginning that is also the end: the kitchen, landing point and extreme
consistency of ingredients. Unl thought
trip back from the kitchen to the elements, the Arab cartographer Edrisi the experimenter Ciccio Sultan, through the history, culture, geography of an island rich and complex.

A tribute to one of protagonists of international cuisine but also and above all, an anthropological insight into a little Sicily told, the tension between tradition and change is often expressed by individual propulsion rather than by "macro-variables."

Vincenzo Cascone, the author of this travel documentary, is one of the founders and leaders of the "workshop of video and film" Extempora .

After the screening of the film, Gregory Cali Master Taster 's ONAV of Catania as a guide to tasting wine making, showing how to present research and shows a region (and culture) in a glass of wine .

Tonsillitis In Right Tonsil

Interno con volo


In un desolato paese della Sicilia, nel giorno di Sant’Antonio, due fratelli salgono fino alla stanza soprasopra . Pino, primo fratello, e Sergio, handicappato, mezzo cervello, fardello più che fratello. Qualche piano sotto qualcosa di terribile è accaduto. Centocinquanta chili di madre-padrona giacciono nella vasca da bagno.
La giornata di Sant’Antonio è giorno di liberazione, di volo. I due fratelli, dopo essersi liberati dalla zavorra materna, sognano di arrivare dritti nella casa dell’Orsa Maggiore, su nel cielo. Ma serve un ultimo gesto: estremo, calcolato e spettacolare, da compiere proprio mentre la processione con la banda e la statua del Santo passano sotto la loro finestra: “Sergio, tudei io e tu veri femus!” .
Questo dramma familiare si consuma tutto negli istanti che precedono il sommo atto ; brevi momenti in cui è possibile leggere la vita intera della misera famiglia, scandita da pisciate e cacate della matrona, dai cambi di mutande, dai bagni in vasca per sgrasciarla , tentando di resistere agli improperi e ai suoi capricci da generalessa.

In scena basta una tenda a fiorellini. L’intensa interpretazione dei due attori è sufficiente a creare around the strip of cloth not only the house but the whole country, with darkness, the vices and superstitions.
The brothers spend the role of the brave as a witness in the relay, and continue to love and to care for each other even when extreme. They invent a world of their own that becomes a symbol of what they have not met in reality: the photo of Antonella, Minnie and all ass, to be held in the pocket of jeans - even though women are all bitch - and a mat which, like that of Aladdin, it becomes a launching pad into the universe.

"Desiderata" presented by Palermo Teatrialchemici , scored a special mention at the 2007 Premio Scenario "to the poetic power relentless energy with which the two actors are a horrible family drama and attractive, consumed in the closure and solitude, between oppression and unburied ghosts everyday life in south mixing religion and superstition, love and violence, absolute external and internal viscous, where the disease is destiny and freedom is a dream to be launched into space in a crescendo of pain and abandonment
destructive masterfully written and brilliantly performed on stage. "

Have You Faked Community Hours

Di santi e di pizzini

In forty-three years of hiding the boss Bernardo Provenzano him have been told everything. He even got to declare it as dead, right between the campaigns of his Corleone, he ran what was described as "the other mafia." Who has covered his fugitive for so many years? Politicians, of course, but also businessmen and women of law enforcement. People who are, in fact, the new ruling class, the so-called "mafia bourgeoisie." And then there's the "people Mafia, Bernardo acknowledges that in his patron saint. People asking help and that finally receives it. The history is, therefore, lived unusual point of view of those who, forced by necessity, find themselves living illegally . For them, in fact, the membership of the organization mafia is the only alternative for survival.

Embodying these different points of view, the show plays on the extraordinary coincidence for which the patron saint of Corleone, is precisely S. Bernardo.
the beginning of a grotesque fairy tale animated by surreal characters, where the saint is a sick old man (tired and helpless image of the past) and the Holiness is represented by a St. Bernard dog (force animalesca che offre un aiuto poco ortodosso, l’alcool) che veglia sulla scena rinchiuso dentro ad una cornice, appeso al muro come un quadro.
Fra momenti comici, e altri fortemente drammatici, emerge il carattere distorto dell’universo mafioso.

"San Bernardo ", proposto da La Compagnia Prese Fuoco , è lo spettacolo vincitore del Premio Ustica per il Teatro 2007 .

con Aurelio Ciaperoni, Alessandro Claudio Costagliola, Diana D'Angelo, Salvo Equizzi, Dario Frasca, Claudia Puglisi, Silvia Scuderi

Were Do Platypus Live

3 is the magic number

Très began as a graphic novel in 2007, by the pen of David Toffolo, and is now being adapted to be staged for the first time. Très
as three actors, three stories, three movements that are released as opposed to a power that breaks in the form of a dictatorship of law-abiding.
is in an imaginary country, similar to Argentina's military coup of 1976 (but not only), in the form of the three stories, each independent of the others, yet each representing a moment in the life cycle of power.
The beginning sees one of three characters-actors that after having committed an unidentified subversive act awaits along with his "protector" of lesser punishment, atonement promised by the government in order to deter any form of dissidence. The simple ceremony will be less formal and very real results.
The second story is a tension, a clash between the three actors who are (un) dress of three symbols: Art, Power, Society. In this act, set in a timeless place, wears a wait mysterious and exhausting to be met on time.
In the third story come together in a grotesque but the two levels: public and private sectors. To the discrepancies between the young daughter of the President and his father joins the political struggle handled with desecrating the girl that puts to shame the morbid seriousness and attachment of the father-president in power. Très
then as reflection on power and its implications as place of observation democracy today, as a magnifying glass on the gears of the system-contemporary society. The group

Gesticulating was founded in 2008, bringing together a wealth of experience coming from the university and beyond. He has participated equally to the production and realization of the performance both in the art of directing and dramaturgy, both in the logistics and organization, try to create their own modus operandi.

Très viene presentato come evento fuori abbonamento nell'ambito di Teatri in Città 2008 , con la volontà di offrire uno spazio di visibilità e di confronto con un pubblico attento e competente ad un'esperienza di pratica teatrale nata e maturata sotto i migliori auspici di passione e motivazione.

Menstrual Like Pain 40 Weeks

Per gioco, per amore


Voci di popoli, echi di gente, suoni raccolti come frutta matura nei campi della terra di Sicilia. Voci di quella Sicilia ancora poco frenetica dei piccoli paesi, delle comunità ristrette, dei borghi montani o marinari, isole nell’Isola. Suoni che si muovono fra tradizione e innovazione , musiche antiche un tempo tramandate oralmente, replicated lines remodeled, rearranged for a modern audience that wants to know the ancient culture of this people, that same culture distorted by progress in recent decades that has developed a thousand al'ora.
Cunti, ballads, proverbs and sonnets found, or rather, found on the collections of scholars such as Giuseppe Pitre, Alberto Favara, Anthony Bird, Alan Lomax, Sarica Mario, Carlo Muratori.
The topics are varied but united by a common feeling, featuring simple everyday life: the game, passion, irony and the dream ; the torment suffered by the woman he loved, proud and often unattainable eyes dello spasimante; gli indovinelli, le filastrocche dei bimbi e il cunto tra parodia e scherzo; li canzuna a ballu eseguite durante le feste patronali o durante gli sposalizi; i canti di carcere eseguiti con tonalità impensabili per gli ascoltatori del nostro tempo; le serenate e i rispetti d’amore .


I Beddi hanno al proprio attivo una produzione discografica di brani appartenenti alla tradizione del Natale Siciliano, dal titolo “Dedicato a Rosa Balisteri”; un disco promozionale dal titolo: “Du Canti E ’n Cuntu” e una partecipazione alla compilation: “SICILIAE - Antologia della Musica Siciliana” (Deja Vu Editore). Il secondo lavoro discografico dal titolo “Ppi jocu e p’amuri” è appena uscito e sarà prossimamente in distribuzione nei circuiti librari siciliani e italiani.

Questa sera (giovedì 21 agosto ) alle ore 21 presso il parco di Villa Patti a Caltagirone .

TEATRI IN CITTA' a Caltagirone dal 21 al 26 Agosto 2008


the Sicilian language in the future tense of the verb does not exist, and any future action is built on the proposition at present. A few other things with the same effectiveness summarize the attitude of the Sicilians to change what this curious linguistic anomaly: the continuing fall in the future, this perhaps means that the Sicilians are or feel themselves masters of the time or so rather than exorcise , at least linguistically, the deep anxiety of becoming human?
This adversarial relationship - but allo stesso tempo di grande fascinazione – della “sicilianità” con il cambiamento e i modi in cui esso si riflette, si risolve o testimonia nell’ambito delle espressioni artistiche più disparate è tema ispiratore di una “missione esplorativa” che Nave Argo ha deciso di intraprendere a partire da questa XIV° edizione di teatri in città e che porterà ad incontrarsi, in combinazioni inedite ed affascinanti, teatro e fumetto, video e gastronomia, musica ed altro ancora.
