Perhaps then, it’s no coincidence that it was created by Stravinsky, alongside writer Ramuz, in a Switzerland surrounded by the ravages of World War I.
First time I’ve listened to the Stravinsky’s music theatre piece, The Soldier’s Tale, was in Campos do Jordão Music Festival, in Brazil. It was in 2004. John Neschling was the music director and the Narrator. I have never seen anything as extraordinary as this - so far.
I’m very excited with the world of blogging memes. Thanks, Marina for the nomination! She tagged me.
I’m glad to know that my blog has enough thoughts!
According to the rules, I am tagging the following bloggers because They Make Me Think!
1. Le Bal Masqué by Marina Monzillo (ok, I’m tagging her back) - she’s a very talented journalist and has a fabulous blog named Le Bal Masqué. The name is very appropriate because it’s misterious, romantic and dreamy like Marina herself. On Le Bal Masqué you will find poetry, posts about cinema, music and books… reflections and tales - some based on real life experiences and others totally invented.
The blog is in portuguese.
It was quite usual to walk around the city alone, when I lived in London. Perhaps that was the most introspective experience of my entire life.
Besides walking along the river bank in the end of the day, one of my favourite places in London is Brick Lane street. At least once a week I took the tube towards Aldgate East station to visit the East End.
Brick Lane’s neighborhood is a very interesting place. The Spitalfields market, the Whitechapel gallery, many Bangladeshi restaurants, coffee shops, designers’ studios… they are all popping up in Brick Lane!
One special place is a second hand clothes store named Absolute Vintage.
I’m so glad to announce the new layout of my page, developed by my dear hubby Guilherme.
The name Far Down the Rabbit Hole is the name of the blog section, inspired in the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, wrote by an English author, mathematician, logician, photographer and Anglican clergyman, Lewis Carroll.
Like Alice struggling to find her way through a disconcerting world, the blog’s purpose is to go far down the rabbit hole and explore my own life experiences. To share my own world, never stable, always slipping into something else.
Alice - “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
The Cat - “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
At the doctor, in the waiting room, it’s early morning. A couple is seated on a sofa. The man is carrying their little, crying baby. Nurses are walking around and a cleaner that has entered the room, says “good morning” and puts more coffee in the cofee machine. A young lady is reading a book, next to the window. There is a door in the room.
An old man and his son are in the center of the room. The old man is seated on a two seat sofa and the son is standing besides him, in the left side. A wheelchair is right behind them.
The son - Father, you have to drink some water before doing the exam.
The movie is very beautiful. It is about Miss Helen Beatrix Potter, an English book author and illustrator, born in Kensington, London in 1866.
The best thing in this movie is that it captures the perfect atmosphere of Miss Potter’s world and the point of view of a child. I saw myself having some thoughts that I used to have when I was a child - giving names to all the animals, imagining them at their “homes” and “families” like they were humans.
