A bit of culture

2009-02-21 @ 17:22:42

This month I was in the theatre twice. First play, ‘Klątwa’ of Wyspiański, was very disappointing. Never once during the whole spectacle was I particularly interested. It was long and monotonous. Long moments of silence and lack of any greater action made me concentrate on my thoughts rather than the play. I don’t recommend.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

Second one was ‘Śmierć człowieka-wiewiórki’. The play was something new, something I have never came across before. It was also hard to understand. I am not an expert on the post-war reality nor do I know much about the story of Ulrike Meinhof and Andreas Baader who fought for New Germany. I admit I didn’t understand the play. However, I did enjoy it on some level.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

In March I am going to watch ‘Three Sisters’ by Czechow. But unlike other times, this one I am going to read the book before seeing the play. I do not plan on trying to understand what is going on through the whole spectacle, but simply enjoy and think about a message the author wanted us, spectators, to receive.

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

I have to say that theatre does not excite me as much as philharmonic does. I was only once on a musical spectacle and it really impressed me. The music, the sheer power coming out of the players – it’s incredible! You have to experience it yourself! This first time I shed tears. Too much emotions invaded me and I just cracked. Never before the theatre did that to me. It must be because I’m more open to music than words.

I like go to the theatre but unfortunetly I rarely go there...too far away from my willage:( Only school trip.

I think you will cope with our polish Matura:) I see that your english is great so you must be really good student! Next year I will be pass and I have no idea what...How about you? What are you going to pass.

sylvier
I don't know...I think of sociology and pedagogika (It havn't this word in english? I can't find). I like children and it would be funny but sociology is something really interesting. Now I consider what I should pass. Advanced english is propably difficult...

@sylvier WoW I was surprised that you don`t know word pedagogy. Well now you do xD

I admire you.I've never been in the theatre.I think it would be so boring for me.

sylvier
Yes I was thinking about it...I mean that it really hard to find job after this. I know it but I have no idea what else I will be able to study. I'm typical humanist. I also conidered english but I heard it's hard to get there.

Instead of writing "Now I consider what I should pass" you should write: "Now I consider what I should take/ what exams I should take",
"pass" is when you did well on your exams,
you can say: "Exams I would like to pass are: eg advanced English."

Advanced English is not very hard. I think the most difficult part is grammar, but if you practice and do lots of exercises you will manage it.

I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunnèd it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine, And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole: In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. .
