Tate Modern

Unfortunately I got a chance to see only one floor of Tate because of fire alarm which seems to be very popular in Britain.

Final project

Culture centre by Jiřičná

I have already written about Culture centre by Eva Jiřičná in Zlín. Finally I got a chance to visit this place and take some pictures. I was amazed by the usage of colors and information system.

Spring

My friend's teacher or better tutor had a birthday this Tuesday. With other students they have decided to buy her bouquet containing 65 tulips and to make this gift as a real surprise she asked me to deliver her this present to atelier where she is working. Because she doesn't know me she believed that I am a courier and she was so nicely surprised and shocked. The bouquet was so huge that I had to hold it by both hands. My friend send me picture of how the tulips looked now when they are opened and I just had to share it.

Up End Down

La Putika is a new circus and theatre together performing incredible plays. The one I got a chance to see this Thursday, called "Up End Down." I am not able to write how amazed I was watching this performance. Even the sitting was very uncomfortable I was watching what is happening on the stage with opened mouth and was imagining how nice would it be to be able perform like that also. Again I also enjoyed a lot the costumes which were in my opinion even harder to make because of all the movement acrobats do. I am exciting to see another play form La Putika again however when I was watching their websites I realized that all performance which are planed for next months are totally sold out.

Cikáni jdou do nebe

I was not posting here for a while because of reparation of my mac. During the last month I experienced a lot which I would like to share here.

The first is another performance by Slovacké divadlo called "Cikáni jsou do nebe." The play I wrote here before, I enjoyed thanks to costumes and design of stage but this performance had so powerful story which got to the shadow all these parts even they were very nicely created. This very rich performance contained beautiful, details costumes, lot of dancing, singing, emotions and what I like a lot about was something new, which I have never experience in theatre. The main actress was smoking pipe which has a flavour and every time she used it, audience could not only see and hear the play but also smell it.

Black Swan

Other movie was from opossite side. The Black Swan about which a lot was written, lot of people thinking to see because all of them are interested how it is going to be. I actually wanted to see it because I am a big fan of balet. And at the end? I am not sure if I would like to see it again because of some scenes during which I was covering my eyes but the idea and performance of actros where amazing. I admire specially the idea of the Nina´s passion for dance and being perfect which drives her to death.

Tangled

After little depresive Play exhibition we went to Walt Disney movie "Tangled". These days lot of fairytales are made both for children and adults. Therefore going to Tangled I was not missing any child having with me to enjoy the movie as I did at Play. All parts of the story were made very nicely to fit to each other. I realise how the fairytales are getting different from those I was watching when I was a child. Not only by methods of realisation but also by scenes which sometimes appear as they are from some american thriller.

Play

Almost all weekend I spent in cinemas, bookstores and on exhibition. The first stop was the Play exhibition at Manes from Petr Nikl and other 40 czech and international designers. I supposed it is very nice idea for parents coming here with children but as I come there with an adult instead of child I didn´t enjoy it as I though. All the noise, running children, parents screaming their names because they were gettiong lost ... I guess I am not child anymore.

Les fleurs bleues

"Les fleurs bleues" from French experimental writter Raymond Queneau presents another basis for stage play of Slovacké divadlo. I have to admit that understanding to story was pretty difficult as it is an experimentl drama which changing reality and dream so you don´t know what is real at the end. I think half of the audiance was thinking that it is the most stupied play they have seen while others tought the story and all art expretion was amazing.

The most amazing part for me were the costume. All was done in the most simple way, almost in geometrical shapes. The most amazing shape was worn by two actres playing hourses. Have you ever think about person dressing as hourse but only with use of real clothes?

Unfortunatly this is the only picture of the horse costume. Doesn´t look so fabulous here, but it was great on the stage.

Interesting cafes I have found searching on the internet.
