Durch den teils massiven Publikumsschwund nach der Pandemie stellt sich die Frage, ob diese als Brandbeschleuniger gewirkt hat für bereits vorhandene Trends. Der Autor geht dem nach anhand der Besuchszahlen bis zur letzten vollständigen vorpandemischen Spielzeit 2018/19. Er zeigt historische Zeitreihen zu Sparten- und Personalentwicklung, Vertriebskanälen und den Einnahmen. Die Theaterstatistik des Bühnenvereins dient vielen Entscheidungsträgern als Grundlage für z.B. kulturpolitische Steuerungen, obwohl sie nicht die komplette deutsche Theaterlandschaft abbildet. Deshalb beleuchtet der Autor weitere Anbieter. Da die Theaterstatistik große kulturpolitische Bedeutung hat, gibt es zum Schluss einige Vorschläge für die Zukunft.

They are reprinted substantially as they appeared in Gilbert & Sullivan Austin newsletters and programs from 2010 to 2020 and were designed to create interest in playgoers new to Gilbert & Sullivan as well as to engage seasoned Savoyards. President Emerita Libby Weed provides a foreword, and Ralph MacPhail, Jr., adds an introduction with acknowledgments, notes on the texts for which there was no room in their original, ephemeral publication, and an extensive list of references and suggestions for further reading. "Everyone will learn something new from the apparently ephemeral pieces in this book. They are full of insight and understanding and, above all, joy." --Andrew Crowther, author of "Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan" and "Contradiction Contradicted"; Secretary, The W. S. Gilbert Society "An enjoyable read, 'Only Idle Chatter' is an interesting and above all affectionate insight into the art of effectively, and with honesty, producing a Gilbert script.

Este ensayo trata de profundizar en la presencia de la mujer en diferentes manifestaciones artísticas (literatura y cine, fundamentalmente) durante los siglos XX y XXI desde una perspectiva transatlántica, para valorar en qué medida la evolución sobre los roles de género transmitidos por la literatura y el cine dan cuenta de los procesos de cambio social respecto a la mujer contemporánea. El proyecto ha contribuido así a empezar a elaborar una cartografía de la imagen de la mujer de los siglos XX y XXI en la literatura y el cine del ámbito hispánico y avanzar, por tanto, en la recuperación de las voces artísticas de mujeres contemporáneas. Después de seleccionar un corpus de cincuenta obras literarias escritas en los siglos XX y XXI que tienen como protagonista a un personaje femenino o consideran a la mujer como eje temático principal, se han estudiado los diferentes modelos femeninos presentes en diez obras literarias y sus adaptaciones audiovisuales, junto con los criterios que determinan la presencia de dichos modelos.

One of the renowned playwrights of Odisha, Shankar Prasad Tripathy's Nabakalebara is a historical play. It's so vast that all other cultures can confluence in its perennial streams of human values. Its universality and all-embracing approach appeal to people worldwide forever. 'Why we celebrate Nabakalebar' is foregrounded and well-substantiated thematically in the play. The ideas mapped in this work of art can be critically analyzed as follows: (1) the human desire for territorial expansion as in the character of Akbar, the Great and Mukunda Deva, to some extent because of his alliance with Rudranarayan of Bhurishrestha of the 'Land of Banga' to fight against Suleiman Karrani, the King of 'Gouda Land' (2) The primal instinct of love obliterating social boundaries persists between Kalapahada, commander-in-Chief of the combined force of the King of Kalinga and Bhurishrestha and Gulnaz, the daughter of Suleiman Karrani, of 'Land of Gouda' (3) the traumatic experiences of the protagonist lacking spiritual bliss, after fulfilling his love-marriage with Gulnaz and his subsequent revengeful acts against the deities and the people of Odisha, (4) Reinstallation of Brahmas in the idols and their mounting on the bejewelled throne (Ratnasinghashana) at the Jagannatha Temple, Puri reaffirms and rejuvenates faith in the people again that Brahma (Supreme Soul) is One and only One, eternal and can't be destroyed by anybody and anything in the material world. That's why, Kalapahada, at last broke apart, while trying to burn in fire. Jagannatha is the root cause of everything happening in the world. His blessing helps the people move forward in day-to-day life.The Nabakalebara festival is deeply rooted in the psyches of the people who love the Jagannatha cult. It's similar to the demise and rebirth of life in all religions of the world. It happens every twelve years. Anything that comes out of this earth is subject to decay and change. The external bodily forms of the idols are buried under the soil in Koilibaikuntha, Puri, whereas the Brahma remains intact and installed again in the newly made wooden idols. There is one and only one Brahma in the world. That can't be drowned in water, burnt in fire; that can't be severed or split and will remain unaltered for ages. Once the idols are half-burnt and thrown into the sea, they can't be worshipped. The new idols (Darubrahmas) are installed and mounted on the (Ratnasinghasana) bejewelled throne at Jagannatha Temple, Puri. Selection of Darus as per the order of Goddess Mangala, and its felling after chanting the mantras, and performing Yajna, transferring the Darus loaded on bullock carts to Jagannatha Temple, Puri, and replacing older idols by the newer ones, and lastly the installing Brahmas in the newer Darus are the processes related to Nabakalebara ceremony.

Die Standard-Bildfrequenz für Kinofilme liegt bei 24 Bildern in der Sekunde. Diese technologisch manifestierte Aneinanderreihung von Bildern im Gegensatz zum Einzelbild prägt das Werk von David Krippendorff (geb. 1967 in Berlin, lebt und arbeitet ebenda), das sich zwischen Malerei, Zeichnung, Video und Film bewegt. Krippendorff entwickelt Arbeiten, die von seiner Herkunft gekennzeichnet sind - als Deutsch-Amerikaner wuchs er in Rom auf - und sich mit Themen wie Zugehörigkeit, kultureller Assimilation und Zuständen des Dazwischen- und Andersseins auseinandersetzen. Die Publikation Interpretations konzentriert sich auf Krippendorffs letzte fünf Filme und die in diesem Zusammenhang entstandenen verwandten Arbeiten. Im Mittelpunkt der Monografie steht die von Musik inspirierte Trilogie Lament, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der palästinensischen Schauspielerin Hiam Abbass entstand. Neben einem umfangreichen Bildteil enthält das Buch ein Interview mit Krippendorff von Kathrin Becker sowie Essays zu seinem Werk von David Elliott, Mark Gisbourne, Matthias Reichelt, Andrea Scrima und Chiara Valci Mazzara.   Between Pop Culture, Performance, and Cinema The standard frame rate for theatrical motion pictures is 24 images per second. This technologically manifest concatenation of pictures and its contrast with the individual image informs the oeuvre of David Krippendorff (b. Berlin, 1967; lives and works in Berlin), which spans painting, drawing, video, and film. Krippendorff develops works that are shaped by his background-a dual German-American citizen, who grew up in Rome-and wrestle with subjects such as belonging, cultural assimilation, and states of being in-between and different. The publication Interpretations focuses on Krippendorff's five most recent films and works he produced in connection with them. At the center of the monograph stands the trilogy Lament, which was inspired by music and created in close collaboration with the Palestinian actor Hiam Abbass. In addition to illustrations related to the works, the book contains an interview with Krippendorff by Kathrin Becker and essays on his art by David Elliott, Mark Gisbourne, Matthias Reichelt, Andrea Scrima, and Chiara Valci Mazzara.
