Pecha Kucha Berlin Vol. 8.1 meets DMY MaypmMon, 19 May 2008 23:15:25 +0000c11 28, 2008

Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global – as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world. Find a location and join the conversation.

Pecha Kucha nights always start at 20.20h in changing location.

This week is very special when Pecha Kucha Berlin meets DMY International Design Festival at Glashaus Arena (Kreuzberg) at 21.20h.

Napoleon D - A show about men, the internet, politics, sex. Oh, and dance. MaypmFri, 09 May 2008 15:59:46 +0000c03 28, 2008

The US movie “Napoleon D” narrates a story of outcasts at a provincial American highschool. The protagonist Napoleon Dynamite is a nerd. Normally the incarnation of “uncool” one day he manages to surprise his entire school: at an election rally for student representative Napoleon dances for the minority candidate to support him. This dance scene enchants with its bizarre sexyness. For whatever reason this scene became one of the most often watched dance sequences on the internet. More than 8 million people watched it on YouTube alone.

post theater has invited 5 choreographers to research this pop-cultural phenomenon and interprete Napoleon’s dance. The rules are as easy as they are strict: every choreographer has exactly 10 minutes performance time, not more than two performers and very limited light and stage design options. The scenes will deal with the topics at hand: masculinity, sexuality and the power of pop. And of course: how are pop-choreographies transmitted via film, video and the internet? The choreographers that will join the project all have their specific signatures and different approaches to pop-culture. Every dance segment is a re-mix of the same source material Napoleon’s dance.

Inspired by the movie-narrative and just like the YouTube conventions the performances will be not just put on stage but put up for voting. The audience will vote over their favorite piece. In addition this is an ironic spin on TV formats that vote for stars and the Berlin art scene where arts are in competition for recognition.


Promotion clips and the actual works of the collaborating choreographers have been uploaded on the internet

Ashes of Time Redux - Wong Kar Wai’s final version in Cannes MaypmWed, 07 May 2008 18:05:08 +0000c06 28, 2008

En la próxima edición del Festival de Cannes se estrenará una versión definitiva de la película más ambiciosa y hasta ahora desconocida de Wong Kar Wai, ASHES OF TIME REDUX (Orig. DUNG CHE SAI DUK). Para esta definitiva versión, el director ha vuelto a rodar escenas, ha replanteado la estructura de la historia, ha añadido nuevos efectos y una nueva banda sonora.

La pelicula tiene lugar en la antigua China. Ouyang Feng es un decaído armador de katanas conducido por la envidia hacia su amigo y adversario. Tiene miedo al amor después de que un equivocado romance le rompiera el corazón. Feng es un solitario a perpetuidad pero el cazador de recompensas que trabaja para él como “ciego espadachín” y otro de sus mejores guerreros descubren el infatigable secreto de amor verdadero que guarda Feng mientras resguarda su actitud hacia sus guerreros y la valiosa lección que ellos le han enseñado.

Rodada en 1994, Wong Kar Wai nunca estuvo de acuerdo con la versión que finalmente se estrenó, pero como en tantos casos tuvo que ceder a las exigencias de una costosa y prolongada producción. Sin embargo, tras alcanzar fama y reconocimiento internacional, Wong Kar Wai nos ofrece finalmente su visión definitiva de esta obra maestra del cine de artes marciales.

La presentación oficial del film tendrá lugar el DOMINGO 18 DE MAYO en el y contará con la presencia del propio Wong Kar Wai, el director de fotografía Chris Doyle y los actores Tony Leung, Carina Lau y Charlie Young.

 

L.A.B. - Latigazo, Azote y Bofetón con un terror musical MaypmTue, 06 May 2008 18:05:52 +0000c06 28, 2008

Latigazo, Azote y Bofetón nos ofrecen una aproximativa velada de terror musical.

Ante un estado de excepción del panorama musical nuestros tres super-héroes surcan los cielos pautados para destruir al malhechor, un super-villano cuya misión es hacer desaparecer toda emoción en el ser humano. Con sus superpoderes : el baile, la ranchera-satie, chistes de cámara, el humor concreto y la bossa contemporánea, L.A.B. le harán saltar a una dimensión desconocida donde, por fin, la risa y la desmitificación de las vacas sagradas se hacen realidad.
Debido a que el enemigo se hace cada vez más fuerte, en esta ocasión la descarga será eléctrica, las guitarras españolas y ukelele fueron regurgitadas en sus sangrantes mandíbulas industriales, es por ello que las armas han cambiado, pero no las intenciones.
Aqui un video de la Rocky Horror Picture Show fusionado con los Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin y Francoise Hardy.
Por razones de higiene se ruega decoro en el vestir y fluidez en el pensar.

El despegue tendrá lugar en LA MOE MALEVAR sita en la calle SANTISIMA TRINIDAD, 32, Madrid.
