Nuove ricerche a Solunto (2021)
2021
New researches in Solunto (2021) · The paper presents an overview of the ongoing researches in Solunto by the University of Palermo. In 2021 stratigraphical sondages were undertaken in two areas of the town: 1) in the great sanctuary above the theatre, in the frame of a major project aimed at addressing several still unresolved issues. That area, as a matter of fact, has never been considered as a whole; the sacred buildings have not been studied, and their mutual relationships and the links with the adjacent terraces have never been properly examined; 2) in the North Baths near the agora, as a corollary of the systematic study of water management, some sondages were made by G. Polizzi. Fin…
Virtual Reality Based Simulators for Neurosurgeons - What We Have and What We Hope to Have in the Nearest Future
2018
High levels of manual skills, good visual-motor coordination, excel‐lent imagination and spatial awareness are the main factors determining the success of neurosurgeons. Proficiency in neurosurgical skills used to be acquired through hands-on training in cadaver labs and in real operating theatres under master neurosurgeon supervision. Most recently, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) computer simulations have also been considered as tools for education in the neurosurgical training. The authors review existing solutions and present their own concept of a simulator which could become the useful tool for planning, simulation and training of a specific neurosurgical procedure usi…
What did Stanislavsky see watching Eleonora Duse's Acting
2013
Performances like those Eleonora Duse’s led James Joyce to comment that the Italians had an immense genius for the theatre. He said that on stage, they were undoubtedly the greatest actors in existence. What is more, Stanislavsky was so inspired by Eleonora Duse’s acting that he formed his system, with the aim of matching her absorbing and exquisitely sympathetic acting. In particular, Stanislavsky was profoundly attracted by the simplicity of her acting. But it did not emerge from a natural status or attitude, as many have believed. As we now know that it came from the perfect execution of the drammatica.
Attraversare
2016
L'articolo propone alcune riflessioni sul concetto di "attraversamento dell'architettura" tramite l'implicazione delle arti visuali e del teatro danza. In particolare, è stata approfondito tale concetto realizzando un "attraversamento" della concatenazione spaziale di Palazzo Riso, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Palermo, filtrando lo spazio con la scansione temporale della danza. La performance di teatro danza prende avvio in un precedente momento architettonico, cioè nella Piazza Bologni, che costituisce una delle due estremità del percorso teatrale-spaziale. La piazza costituisce il momento della riflessione, dall'esterno verso l’interno, di una serie di avvenimenti attraverso i quali pren…
Scenekunstens (for)handlingsrom etter 22. juli
2019
In this article I discuss theatre’s scope of action after the 2011 terror attacks in Norway (“22. July”), with an emphasis on independent theatre, aesthetic heteronomy and the public sphere. A theatre manager’s (Jon Refsdal Moe) retrospect account of and reflections upon a case of self-censoring is the starting point for my (re-)examination of the arguments and dynamics concerning some of the most prominent contentious 22. July performances. I discuss how the controversies can be understood and dealt with, and how they are connected to theatre’s scope of action and place in society today. In my argument, I differentiate between the public sphere as an arena for discussion and debate (which …
Lope y la tramoya de la corte: entre tradición e innovación
2013
El trabajo se centra en el periodo de actividad de Lope de Vega como dramaturgo para reconstruir, con la reunión de datos conocidos y los aportados por algunos documentos de archivo, la actividad espectacular y festiva vinculada a la corte de los Austrias. El artículo hace balance de esa tradición espectacular, sobre la que cada vez se tiene mayor información, porque es ese telón de fondo el que permite entender y contextualizar cabalmente los grandes dramas-espectáculo escritos por Lope desde fechas tempranas y hasta poco antes de su muerte, y comprender las trasformaciones que supo imprimir a esa tradición. This paper focuses on the period of Lope de Vega’s activity as a playwright in ord…
The Criminals in Vilnius
2021
On 29 April 1930, the premiere of Ferdinand Bruckner’s The Criminals (original title Die Verbrecher) directed by Aleksander Zelwerowicz took place at the Teatr Wielki na Pohulance in Vilnius. After two performances, the play was cancelled by the mayor of Vilnius. The authorities of the city were outraged by the ‘drastic amoral scenes (homosexual love, abortion)’. Zelwerowicz submitted his resignation, which he withdrew a few days later. A performance combined with a debate on the drama was organised. One of the Literary Wednesdays was also devoted to a discussion about The Criminals. The Słowo daily published an open letter to the director Zelwerowicz ‘supporting his repertoire policy’. Eve…
„Reduta“ suka sau lizdelį, arba Osterwa Pohuliankoje
2020
Based on previously unknown archival materials discovered by the authors in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius, the author of the article is reconstructing the beginnings of the Polish theatre company “Reduta” in Vilnius and the discovery of new documents sheds new light on this story. The author attempts to reconstruct the economic and social conditions in which “Reduta” started its operation in Vilnius. The text concerns the period of 1925–1929. The author puts forward a thesis that the reasons for “Reduta’s” failure in Vilnius were the enormous costs of renovating the Grand Theatre on Pohulanka Street that resulted in unpayable debt in the first months of the theatre’s o…
