Theater review

The Lessingtag Theatre Festival held online this year due to the epidemic showcased some of Europe's best performers in the form of classic dramas by Brecht, Schiller, Ibsen and others.

Munich-For a recorded theater, a great performance translates a video into a much better film than a well-made movie with complex concepts or complex scenes. Therefore, when Thalia Theater in Hamburg, Germany invites 10 European theaters to send their best performances to the online film festival-an international music festival held in January each year, in general, the theater enjoys more performances than stage art performances .

As a result, "

", is an extensive survey of contemporary European theater, focusing on some of the continent’s top stage actors. In an era when people were rarely allowed to travel and theaters were even less open, it was discovered from the Iberian Peninsula to Russia The opportunity for his recent stage works is particularly important.

Although a small number of "Lessingtage Digital" works made their debut during the pandemic, most of the works offered are several quarters old, and online viewers can take this opportunity to discover works whose live broadcasts have ended.

Anne Lenk's fashion, dedicated stage performance"

", the film was screened at the Deutsche Theater Berlin in October. Throughout the evening, eight actors performed from isolated pink cubes in Judith Oswald's corona-friendly suit. However, Lenk was against Schiller's interpretation of historical tragedy does not rest on its laurels or trivialities.

The cast, dressed in Sibylle Wallum's gorgeous costumes, is always superb, alive in the emotional and political turmoil of the drama and how they intersect. This is especially true for incandescent stars in production. Franziska Machens is Mary, she struggles to survive from a prison cell, and Julia Windischbauer is Her proud but conflicting rival Elizabeth.

The two queens only face each other in the climax of the 10-minute duel. Mary refuses to recognize Elizabeth's superiority, but brags about her chance of salvation to taste victory. In works that continue to emerge from great performances, this confrontation stands out because of its original charge.

Lenk's flat beauty is also friendly to high-definition cameras, and it captures the boiling performance with its eye-catching directness.

The excellent performance of another work also left a deep impression on me.

,"

Translate to the screen. This fascinating mythical dramatic monologue provides a fascinating overture for the heroine (one year old and one young), and it will be released at about the same time as "Mary Stewart". Under the direction of Guy Cassiers, the artistic director of Toneelhuis in Antwerp, Belgium, the French music group Danel Quartet performed the Shostakovich string quartet for the two parts of the evening, and they were unified through a video feed.

In "Antigone", author Stefan Hertmans transfers the tragedy of Sophocles to contemporary Belgium, where law student Nouria (Ikram Aoulad) begins a vain attempt to retrieve the body of his brother ISIS fighter from the forensic laboratory. . Aoulad greeted the audience and conveyed the character's pain and firm sense of justice in an elegant and shocking way.

In "Tiricians", the actress Katelijne Damen recites a dazzling, confusing poem by the young British poet Kae Tempest, which is A subversive restatement of the myth of the prophet of gender equality for the blind. Damen's interpretation of the beautiful text is through elegance and wit. What is particularly impressive is how Toneelhuis' widescreen camera (photographed by Charlotte Bouckaert, who was also responsible for the scene) successfully captured the power of the indoor theater.

The work of Bertolt Brecht of the Berliner Ensemble"

. The dramatic miracle of Michael Thalheimer's fine-grained performance can be boiled down to two words: Stefanie Reinsperger.

Since 2017, the young Austrian actress has been a member of the theater troupe, and the ferocious survival artist Grusha Vashnadze at the center of Brecht’s late theater is her One of the first roles in theater. This peasant girl protects an abandoned baby from the horrors of war. I am very happy to get this kind of original experience through the screen: living in a theater, close up and private life, I don't know if I can accept it.

On the other hand, Eszter Onodi in "

", the update of Ibsen's "Doll House" makes me feel as if I am sitting in the auditorium of the Joseph Katona Theater in Budapest instead of watching it alone in the living room. In a seemingly simple performance , Onodi stripped the character’s skills to reveal unexpected depth. The young director of the script, Kriszta Szekely, brought the feminist heroine to today and re-enacted the play after a faithful remake. 150 years after the premiere of the scandal, the contemporary significance of Nora's plight.

In Italian and Swedish ensemble works, a single performance is not as important as the symbiotic energy generated from large molds, which make their performances live as a collective.

The most exciting production of the festival is "

", Luigi Pirandello's 1917 farce, staged by Filippo Dini at the Teatro Stabile, tells a group of villagers trying to understand a mysterious new neighbor The truth.

In Dini's performance, townspeople sit around magnificent apartments, and if the apartment rots, they put decorative moldings on the high ceilings and cover them with furniture. This 12-person cast constitutes a close and dynamic unit, and they have the right tone and comedy timing.

Bright contemporary work by Mattias Andersson

One of the co-producers of the festival, the Royal Theatre Theatre in Stockholm has a larger stage than Pirandello. One of the two phased versions of Dostoevsky’s novel during the festival:

It is the basically speechless expressionist gesture of the four physical actors of the Moscow State Theater, a wildcard for activity.

David Dencik's fragile and fearless performance as Prince Myshkin laid the foundation for an epic performance in Sweden. After he was released from the Swiss nursing home, he found himself plagued by the highs and lows of Russian society.

Even though these props seem to come from IKEA, and the large actors spend most of the night on stage, this kind of work manages to paint a huge social canvas full of damaged and emotional Characters, these characters span centuries and talk to us in different languages.

When announcing the festival’s lineup, I was shocked by how many classic authors were selected-far exceeding the general level of European theater festivals today. After absorbing 10 works of Lessingtage, I wonder why this should be unexpected.

Schiller, Ibsen, Brecht and Pirandello created the richest and most complex characters on the stage. Apart from watching the best stage actors in Europe bring them fresh lives, even after dismantling our computer screens, what could be more interesting than this?

Until January 31, online streaming;

Last week, I accompanied a child to college.

It's been a few years, but it feels strange-nervous second-year students lead the trip, sturdy dormitory furniture, information conferences about meal plans, campus security and flexible funding.

This is my last trip and I can't wait.

Our daughter is a high school student. It seems that we should have a random campus tour at the beginning of the game, when the outdoor temperature was not 13 degrees. For example, last summer.

Is COVIDid to blame?

Do not. My husband and I were the culprit, made our children fall in love with dance and musicals, and then wholeheartedly support the said passion.

We think we are good parents. We think we are doing the right thing. This is our reward.

While other children received admission notices and financial aid awards, the performing arts children were straining, waiting for the results of their college auditions in the spring. Campus tours are often a critical juncture.

Some time ago, I read that compared with Ivy League schools, entering the Performing Arts College is much more difficult. I think what an exaggeration.

Facts have proved that it is at least numerically correct. Most musicals and dance shows will take a few children. At least some of them need to be boys. For the 8 million girls who want to sing and dance in college, these attractions are even fewer.

To say that this process is complicated is like saying that Moses spent some time wandering in the desert.

First, there are some general university decisions to consider. Big school, elementary school? How far are you willing (or your parents are willing) to be from home? Are you looking for a traditional campus with beautiful green lawns, or an urban campus with cool remodeled buildings and an active weekend?

There is another big question: where does the money come from?

The longer your child stays, the more complicated the path of performing arts becomes. You must narrow down (within your basic geography and economy) the school that offers the course she is looking for. Is dancing heavy? Tend to acting? Do they already need professional credits to get involved?

They apply academically. They are applicable in art. They wait for someone to view their video preview.

Then they waited a little longer. Don't worry, maybe, maybe, maybe you'll be invited to the campus to audition. Or in accordance with the 2021 agreement, through Zoom in your attic.

Your parents somehow made this process more stressful for you by a million times, but the parents waited helplessly in the living room because the cat was locked in the basement and grumbled, so he won't disturb the attic audition.

While waiting, you will go deep into your own soul, wondering why you did not push your child towards something less stressful, such as becoming a high-speed rail artist or a cross-country motorcycle racer.

You could have saved some anxiety. There are also some flexible dollars.

Gone are the days of watching movies just to feel the leather seats, smelling popcorn and spending time with others in the cinema. The indoor cinema is

Of course, ordinary TVs can also work normally-from

If you have spare rooms, it is definitely worth it. What are you doing with that room? You will fill it with unnecessary nonsense and call it the "garbage room". It's okay to throw away these messy things, and then become a "TV room". Especially in these days, since you can no longer go to the theater safely, it's great to be able to watch big-picture, loud-sound movies or watch streaming programs with movie equipment.

This is a difficult year on Earth, but 2020 is the highlight of space exploration. SpaceX pushed its futuristic "starship" to new heights. Three countries launched missions to Mars, and robots captured debris from the moon and asteroids.

More promises are expected next year, including plans to launch a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Perhaps it is not surprising that the space theme has a place in home decoration. When many of us are trapped at home due to the pandemic, spatial images can add an adventurous or whimsical feel to rooms, walls and ceilings.

New York interior designer Patrice Hoban said: "I have finished outer space and starry sky." "My clients like to use stars as backgrounds in nurseries. I also work with Luminous Paint, It adds a sense of popularity to children’s rooms and home theaters."

She stuck tiny dark night stars on the ceiling. The light can last for several hours. She said: "This is the closest thing I have found to a planetarium."

Rachel Magana, senior visual designer at sustainable furniture rental company Fernish, drew some cosmic decoration ideas from a colleague’s recent nursery project.

She said: "The palette is based on dark blue tones, and then splashed in colors such as yellow, white or red."

She said: "Or create your own galaxy wall." "Draw a blue wall, and then use some faded white paint to splash it with tiny water droplets. You can just create some new constellations."

She suggested adding interesting space lights and vintage NASA posters.

For decades, outer space has inspired designers. In the 1960s, the "space race" between the United States and the Soviet Union, and with the development of the space age, the advent of synthetic materials, led to a proliferation of futuristic furniture such as molded plastic chairs and satellite-shaped lighting equipment.

Today, you can download artwork directly from NASA’s solarsystem.nasa.gov, or find artwork at retailers such as Red Bubble, Etsy, and Zazzle.

Magana also suggested making a space-themed quotation letter paper, such as Neil Armstrong's famous term "one small step for man."

Many astronomy-themed art on the market will appear in any room. There are moon graphics on Target's canvas. Tempaper has constellation wallpapers, but if you can't make wallpapers, please consider Kenna Sato Designs' wall or ceiling constellation decals.

Galaxy Lamps have a sphere that looks like an asteroid. Use the included USB to charge it, and cycle through 16 colors in three lighting modes. There is also a moon version. In Beautiful Halo, a series of rocket ship ceiling fixtures were found.

German designer Jan Kath has created a carpet collection called Spacecrafted, which is inspired by images of gas clouds and small planetary nebulae from the Hubble Telescope.

Studio Greytak in Missoula, Montana designed a Jupiter lamp with mineral aragonite, depicting the turbulent gas swirling on the earth. There is also an impact watch with cast glass on it and a large piece of desert rose crystal inlaid on it, as if an asteroid fell into a pool.

Zodiac wall decals and Milky Way carpets can be found in the nursery project. Crate&Kids and Pottery Barn Kids have hanging phones with planets, stars and clouds.

There are also luminous black duvet covers printed on the solar system on PBK, but if you are ready to go to the stars, check out Snurk Living's duvet suits. This studio, owned by Dutch designers Peggy van Neer and Erik van Loo, designed a suit printed with life-size astronaut suits.

It seems popular to create a night sky on the ceiling of a home theater. Houzz has hundreds of inspirational examples.

Maydan Architects in Palo Alto, California designed one for a recent project.

"Our client's grandfather is the owner of several movie theaters," Mary Maydan said. “One of them has a retractable ceiling that allows guests to experience the starry sky at night. When our client decided to build his own home theater, this installation actually fulfilled his lifelong dream.”

The ceiling is not retractable, but has an eight-pane fixed lamp, depicting the Milky Way and a meteor.

Maydan said: "It provides a very soft light, and intends to remain open during the film screening, and create a magical experience."

In addition to the choice of amplifiers, speakers, AV receivers, TVs and projectors, there are 18 products that can extend any home AV or home theater system.

Shadows from companies such as Hunter Douglas can help homeowners control the amount of light entering their AV and home theater spaces.

For modern AV systems such as home theaters, it is easy to get lost in thinking about 4K laser projectors, 8K TVs, AV processors, speakers and receivers. However, other elements such as remote controls, cables, and other items are often ignored when conceptualizing these systems. 

Audiovisual systems and home theater accessories are the glue for modern home entertainment. It is worth noting that although these products cannot provide the sexy or immersive audio response of 120-inch 4K HDR images, a good system cannot achieve a high level of performance if it is not used. These home theater accessories. 

When evaluating system requirements beyond the aforementioned AV receivers, projectors, speakers and other components, these support products can be divided into different categories, such as necessities and additional amenities. 

Basic accessories include the following products:

Cables, power protection, remote controls and storage units of certain equipment, such as racks or furniture. 

Optional accessories range from curtains and seats for home theaters to anamorphic lenses as well as lighting and shading products.

Looking at some of the products available today, more of these solutions are available than ever before. The reason why there are more accessories can be attributed to the following facts: due to

limit. Combining the strong interest in home theater with the rapid development of solutions such as smart homes and shadows and lighting, it is not difficult to understand why people would want to integrate all these elements into an easy-to-use high-performance single system.

The following are 18 home theater accessories from the company, including:
