Transcript:Da: Under de brostenbelagte gader i København lå en glemt verden, mørk og stille.En: Beneath the cobblestone streets of København lay a forgotten world, dark and silent.Da: Freja, Mikkel og Jens kiggede rundt i den støvede bunker.En: Freja, Mikkel, and Jens looked around the dusty bunker.Da: Freja huskede med et stød af ængstelse sine barndomsminder om tordenvejr — den gang, da lynet havde slået ned i deres nabos hus og alt blev mørkt.En: Freja remembered with a jolt of anxiety her childhood memories of thunderstorms — the time when lightning had struck their neighbor's house, and everything went dark.Da: "Vi skal gøre klar," sagde Freja fast.En: "We need to get ready," Freja said firmly.Da: Den forestående sommerstorm truede over byen, og bunkerens stand var forfærdelig.En: The impending summer storm loomed over the city, and the bunker's condition was dreadful.Da: Malingen skallede af væggene, og den svage lugt af indelukket luft fyldte rummet.En: Paint was peeling off the walls, and the faint smell of stale air filled the room.Da: I hjørnet stod nogle få gamle feltsenge og en bunke af støvede konservesdåser.En: In the corner stood a few old canvas cots and a pile of dusty canned goods.Da: En enkelt glødende pære gav et flakkende lys, der kastede skygger over de forladte hylder.En: A single glowing bulb gave flickering light that cast shadows over the abandoned shelves.Da: Mikkel, altid ivrig efter et eventyr, råbte: "Jeg kan finde flere forsyninger!En: Mikkel, always eager for an adventure, shouted, "I can find more supplies!Da: Vi har brug for mad, vand og lys."En: We need food, water, and light."Da: Han smilte, trods det alvorlige arbejde foran dem.En: He smiled, despite the serious task ahead.Da: "Jens," begyndte Freja med en roligere tone, "kan du hjælpe med at sikre dørene og vinduerne?En: "Jens," Freja began in a calmer tone, "can you help secure the doors and windows?Da: Vi kan ikke være for forsigtige."En: We can't be too careful."Da: Jens nikkede med sin varme pålidelighed, der uden ord beroligede Frejas indre uro.En: Jens nodded with a warmth and reliability that wordlessly calmed Freja's inner turmoil.Da: De tre satte sig i gang med beslutsomhed.En: The three set to work with determination.Da: Mikkel forlod bunkeren for at finde forsyninger i den nærliggende købmand.En: Mikkel left the bunker to find supplies at the nearby store.Da: Jens brugte hverdagens genstande for at forstærke de gamle døre og sikre, at intet uventet kom snigende ind.En: Jens used everyday objects to reinforce the old doors and ensure that nothing unexpected could sneak in.Da: Inden længe begyndte regnen at tromme mod overfladen.En: Before long, the rain began to drum against the surface.Da: Vindens hyl blæste gennem ventilationssystemet, og Frejas hjerte slog hurtigere.En: The howling wind blew through the ventilation system, and Freja's heart beat faster.Da: Hun fortalte sig selv, at alt var under kontrol — de havde Jens' ro og Mikkels optimisme.En: She told herself that everything was under control — they had Jens' calmness and Mikkel's optimism.Da: Pludselig, midt i stormens rasen udenfor, slog et lyn ned tæt ved.En: Suddenly, in the midst of the storm's raging outside, a lightning bolt struck nearby.Da: Et øjeblik brød Annas værste frygt fri.En: For a moment, Freja's worst fear broke free.Da: Bunkeren blev kastet i dybt mørke.En: The bunker was plunged into deep darkness.Da: Panik skyllede ind over hende, men før den kunne overtage, tog hun en dyb indånding.En: Panic washed over her, but before it could take over, she took a deep breath.Da: Hun huskede Jens' beroligende stemme og Mikkels barnlige tillid.En: She remembered Jens' soothing voice and Mikkel's childlike confidence.Da: De var her for hende.En: They were there for her.Da: "Vi gør det sammen," sagde Jens roligt og strakte hånden ud.En: "We'll do it together," said Jens calmly, reaching out his hand.Da: Mikkel tændte en lommelygte, hans smil endnu bredt i det dansende skær.En: Mikkel turned on a flashlight, his smile still wide in the dancing beam.Da: "Intet problem!En: "No problem!Da: Vi har lanterner."En: We have lanterns."Da: Freja var hurtigt med dem, satte de små nødlys rundt omkring.En: Freja quickly joined them, setting up small emergency lights all around.Da: Mørket bøjede sig for lysets lette flakker, og som rummet blev oplyst, opløstes også Frejas frygt.En: The darkness bowed to the soft flicker of light, and as the room lit up, Freja's fear also dissolved.Da: Sammen sad de omkring det svage skær af lanternerne, lyttede til regnen og stormens dalende rasen udenfor.En: Together, they sat around the faint glow of the lanterns, listening to the rain and the storm's waning rage outside.Da: I det øjeblik fandt Freja en ny styrke indeni.En: In that moment, Freja found a new strength within.Da: Hun vidste, at hun ikke længere var alene, at frygten ikke kunne styre hende.En: She knew she was no longer alone, that fear could not control her.Da: Da stormen langsomt døde ud, sad de stadig sammen, nærmere hinanden end nogensinde.En: As the storm slowly died down, they still sat together, closer to each other than ever.Da: Freja så på sine venner og tænkte, at disse stunder og deres skæve lys gjorde den gamle bunker mere hjemlig end nogensinde før.En: Freja looked at her friends and thought that these moments and their skewed light made the old bunker feel more like home than ever before.Da: I stilheden efter stormen havde de fundet fred.En: In the silence after the storm, they had found peace.

As sombras poéticas de Regina Pessoa estreiam-se no teatro. Aquela que é uma das mais célebres figuras do cinema de animação contemporâneo português e europeu desenhou um carnaval de animais para o espectáculo musical "Sports et Divertissements” [“Desportos e diversões”] que está no Festival Off Avignon. A obra foi criada por Erik Satie há mais de um século e era composta por peças musicais com textos surrealistas. Agora, Regina Pessoa desenhou um bestiário inquieto e radical, inspirada pelo impacto das alterações climáticas. "Sports et Divertissements” [“Desportos e diversões”] é apresentada como uma ֶópera de bolso visual e é feita a partir de um trabalho de 1914 do compositor e pianista francês Erik Satie. Mais de um século depois, chega ao Festival Off Avignon uma adaptação encenada por Hervé Tougeron, com composição musical de Catherine Verhelst e ilustrações de Regina Pessoa. Erik Satie desenhava com notas musicais, Regina Pessoa desenha com sombras inquietas. Originalmente, as peças falavam, de forma surrealista, de actividades de lazer da burguesia do início do século XX, como, por exemplo, a caça, o golfe, o ténis e o jogo da cabra-cega. Agora, Regina Pessoa partiu de uma das maiores preocupações do século XXI, as alterações climáticas, para imaginar e desenhar animais em poses e planos inesperados, que adoptam “um certo radicalismo nas suas atitudes porque já não têm nada a perder”. RFI: Como é que descreve esta obra “Sports et Divertissements”? Regina Pessoa, Realizadora de cinema de animação: “Foi algo que eu quis mais surpreendente, fresco e, de certa forma, reinventar o meu trabalho porque já tenho uma carreira, estou nos 56 anos e, às vezes, uma pessoa precisa de dar uma mexida, sobretudo, porque eu tive uma doença grave, recente, e senti essa necessidade de me reinventar, até para reganhar confiança porque essa doença abalou a minha autoconfiança.” Reconhecemos que é a Regina Pessoa quem fez estes desenhos porque tem um estilo quase inconfundível no mundo da animação. É a primeira vez que trabalha, entre aspas, para o teatro? “É a primeira vez. A proposta surgiu... Como eu disse, eu tive uma doença grave e é claro que isso abala fisicamente e psicologicamente. Eu tinha um projecto, e tenho, de fôlego, mas achei que iria exigir de mim uma energia e uma força emocional que eu ainda não tinha restabelecido e, por coincidência, recebi várias encomendas de trabalho de curta duração. Isso permitiu manter-me artisticamente activa e permitiu-me também algo importante que era um desapego, de certa forma, emocional com o projecto. Um desses projectos foi precisamente ‘Sports et Divertissements'. Foi uma companhia francesa dedicada ao ‘spectacle vivant' que me pedia uma série de ilustrações sobre as peças ‘Sports et Divertissements' de Erik Satie, que são 19 peças com canto lírico - porque no ano passado foi o centenário da morte do Erik Satie e eles queriam essas ilustrações para projectar durante a sua actuação musical. Eu gostei muito do projecto. Era um projecto mais leve, era um projecto engraçado. As peças do Erik Satie têm letras, para o tal canto lírico, para serem cantadas e as letras são pequenas histórias completamente absurdas e ‘Dada'. O projecto era mal pago e, normalmente eu diria que não, mas era muito interessante e as pessoas eram muito simpáticas e eu resolvi aceitar e pensei: eu posso fazer o que me apetecer e apeteceu-me fazer animais como personagens.” As peças de Erik Satie, esses poemas breves, não falam em animais. Como é que se lembrou dos animais e como é que escolheu os animais para cada poema? “Foi algo que me veio à cabeça ao assumir essa liberdade. Não sei porquê, vá-se lá saber, a inspiração tem dessas coisas. Apeteceu-me usar animais e acho que veio, talvez, de uma das peças que é ‘collin-maillard', que é ‘a cabra-cega'. Eu resolvi fazer esse jogo de palavras e imagem, porque em português esse jogo é a cabra-cega e eu apeteceu-me fazer uma cabra com uma venda nos olhos. Acho que foi esse, aliás, o primeiro desenho que eu fiz. Foi esse. Foi a partir daí que resolvi fazer todos com animais.” Há uma qualquer memória folclórica do mundo rural português neste carnaval dos animais da Regina Pessoa? “Eu não o conheço a não ser pelo nome dos jogos e das lengalengas. Um dos jogos, brincadeiras de criança é precisamente a cabra-cega. Mas eu lembro-me de outra, de algumas lengalengas, daquela quando se tem que escolher alguém num grupo. Havia uma que era: ‘Meu rim, meu rato, não tens bota nem sapato. Quem morreu foi o meu rato.' Há muitas lengalengas que falam de animais e é, se calhar, isso que também influenciou.” Lengalengas portuguesas? “Portuguesas.” Os desenhos voltam a um estilo de gravura expressionista, com contrastes, sombras, uma dimensão quase psicológica nos animais, mas também muita irreverência. Reconhecemos a sua linha, o seu estilo. Como é que se inspirou para estes desenhos antropomórficos? “Neste momento, a minha grande preocupação existencial são as alterações climáticas. Eu acho que era isso que deveria estar no centro da reflexão colectiva e não estas distracções que temos porque é tão flagrante as alterações climáticas cada ano mais acentuadas. Isso deveria ocupar-nos, unir-nos nesse combate e não é o que está a acontecer. No entanto, as maiores vítimas são os animais que não têm culpa nenhuma. São vítimas inocentes. Então, também talvez seja uma das razões que eu resolvi usar animais como personagens e usá-los numa atitude que a minha sensação era que os animais estão a dizer: ‘Eu não tenho nada a perder'. Daí essa atitude radical porque os animais são assim, não é? São honestos na sua crueldade e na sua fidelidade, também na lealdade. Eu explorei essa atitude de honestidade animal ao máximo que eu podia, um certo radicalismo nas suas atitudes de que eles não têm nada a perder como o mundo está. E depois, além disso, este colectivo, o que eles gostariam que eu tivesse feito era animações, mas não tinham orçamento para isso. O orçamento que eles tinham daria para meia dúzia no máximo de ilustrações e não para 19 como eu fiz. Como eles gostariam de animações, eu tentei transmitir movimento aos animais e eles estão como um ‘snapshot' do movimento. Eles estão implicitamente em movimento.” É diferente desenhar para o cinema e desenhar para uma projecção que vai interagir com actores e com músicos ao vivo? “Não faço ideia porque não vi o espectáculo, portanto não sei. Não faço ideia como é que funciona. Apenas posso confiar no relato da equipa de músicos que me encomendou o trabalho, que funcionou muito bem e que as pessoas gostaram muito das ilustrações que eu fiz, que mesmo estando paradas, parecia que estavam a mexer. E depois ponho-me a pensar se não será melhor assim porque se houvesse movimento, se houvesse animação, penso que a atenção do espectador iria perder-se entre a projecção em movimento e a actuação dos músicos que é o centro de interesse, não é? Portanto, se calhar é melhor que sejam ilustrações e não animações para potenciar a atenção na música, que é o centro da peça ou das peças, não é?” Mas a sua ilustração também está no centro da peça. Em 1914, quando a obra foi foi feita por Erik Satie, a obra associava a música e os desenhos de Charles Martin e o autor falava, de forma poética e irónica, em “publicação constituída por dois elementos artísticos: o desenho e a música. A parte do desenho é figurada por traços. A parte da música por pontos, pontos negros.” Ora, o desenho é tão importante quanto a música, não é? “Num filme é isso que acontece. Muitas vezes, esquecemos a banda sonora que está presente, é invisível, mas está tão presente como a imagem. Calculo que na visão deste colectivo que me encomendou os trabalhos, isso também seja assim. Será como um filme ao vivo, digamos, composto pela imagem e pela música, embora eu ache que, neste caso, como eles estão a actuar ao vivo, a música será o factor mais importante. Mas é como um filme, é composto pela parte sonora e pela parte visual.” Um espectáculo de teatro é, por definição, efémero, mas aqui há uma parte que fica que são os seus desenhos. As suas ilustrações estão feitas e vão ficar, não é? “Sim e de tal forma que, quando eu acabei a encomenda, gostei muito dos meus animais e estou a desenvolver um outro projecto. Gostei de trabalhar e de desenvolver este bestiário e estou a desenvolver agora um projecto meu de filme, não tem nada a ver com a encomenda que recebi, é algo novo, mas os personagens são animais e as alterações climáticas estão implícitas. O pesadelo vivo que é o mundo neste momento a nível das alterações climáticas em que vivemos e que os animais são as principais vítimas foi o que me motivou a fazer todo este trabalho.” Nesse pesadelo de que fala no que toca às alterações climáticas, a arte, a ilustração, o teatro podem ter um papel com mais impacto do que o trabalho propriamente político? “Não sei se com mais impacto. Eu não tenho qualquer perfil panfletário político. Não tenho esse perfil, gostaria de ter, mas não tenho. O que eu sei fazer é desenhar, tentar transmitir conteúdos ou mensagens através dos meus desenhos, das minhas composições. Portanto, essas são as minhas armas que eu sei usar, se eu soubesse usar outras, usaria outras. Mas como sei usar isto e só sei usar isto, é isso que eu estou a tentar. Eu penso que esse é o papel da arte ou de qualquer meio: usar com honestidade as armas que se possui para alertar ou denunciar ou chamar a atenção para a urgência deste momento em que vivemos. Antes, a arte e a cultura eram reservadas a um nicho elitista e, neste momento, está muito mais democratizado, portanto, tem possibilidades de alcançar um espectro mais largo de público. Penso que a arte e a cultura podem alertar, podem ser úteis na denúncia e no alertar desta emergência, tal como outras áreas, mas nós somos artistas, é isto que sabemos fazer e acho que devemos reflectir sobre isto através dos nossos trabalhos, das nossas criações.” A Regina Pessoa está habituada aos festivais de animação, nomeadamente o Festival de Annecy, em França. Recentemente também esteve no Festival de La Rochelle, mas o Festival de de Avignon é algo novo? “É a primeira vez que trabalhos meus estão num festival de teatro de artes performativas. Eu e o Aby [Feijó] somos um duo, uma parceria, uma parelha criativa e nós sempre tentámos, com o nosso trabalho, cruzar públicos. Um dos exemplos é que sempre que acabamos um filme, organizamos uma exposição, como nós fazemos curtas-metragens e as curtas-metragens têm um mercado muito limitado, fazendo uma exposição, alargamos o espectro do público. Por outro lado, para tirar o filme do ecrã, porque o público vai ver uma exposição, não é o mesmo necessariamente que ver um filme. É a primeira vez que trabalhos meus estão no Festival de Avignon, mas não é a primeira vez que temos esse tipo de atitude de cruzar públicos e gostava que isso acontecesse mais vezes.”

Jaume Segalés y su equipo analizan los temas de actualidad y comentan la agenda cultural. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos:Bloqueo de leyes antiocupas La vivienda es una de las cuestiones que más preocupa a los españoles. La inseguridad jurídica juega un papel clave en esta problemática. Algo que conocen bien los propietarios que son víctimas de la okupación. La Plataforma de Afectados por la Ocupación e Inquiocupación continúa su labor, en este caso exigiendo el desbloqueo de las leyes antiocupas. Denuncia el "secuestro parlamentario" de dos medidas urgentes contra la ocupación cuyo debate se ha visto congelado tras acumular un total de 139 prórrogas. En concreto, se refiere a la parálisis de la ley antiocupas aprobada en el Senado (por el PP) y a la proposición de ley de principios de 2025 (de Junts), cuyos plazos de enmiendas han sido programados de antemano para continuar bloqueados hasta septiembre de este año 2026. Dada esta situación y para hacer frente común, la Plataforma de Afectados por la Ocupación e Inquiocupación ha formalizado su incorporación oficial al Frente Cívico por la Calidad Democrática, uniendo su voz a la de otras entidades civiles para denunciar de forma coordinada el "uso desproporcionado y sistemático" de las prórrogas semanales de enmiendas en la Mesa del Congreso de los Diputados. Entrevistamos al portavoz de la Plataforma de Afectados por la Ocupación e Inquiocupación, Ricardo Bravo. Suelta de cigüeñas blancas en Alcalá La Huerta del Obispo del Palacio Arzobispal ha acogido este martes una nueva edición de la tradicional suelta de cigüeñas blancas recuperadas por GREFA (Grupo de Rehabilitación de la Fauna Autóctona y su Hábitat), una cita ya consolidada en el calendario ambiental de Alcalá de Henares que simboliza el compromiso de la ciudad con la conservación de una de sus especies más emblemáticas. Al acto han asistido la alcaldesa, Judith Piquet, y miembros del Gobierno municipal. También han participado 95 escolares del colegio Cardenal Cisneros. Los niños han conocido de cerca el trabajo de recuperación de fauna silvestre. Además, han aprendido la importancia de proteger la cigüeña blanca. Esta temporada, 88 parejas de cigüeñas han ocupado nidos en la ciudad. 68 han logrado sacar adelante a sus crías. En total han nacido 104 cigoñinos. Algunos pollos cayeron de los nidos o sufrieron otras incidencias. Fueron atendidos en el Hospital de Fauna Salvaje de GREFA. Tras su recuperación, hoy han regresado a su entorno natural.

From ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY person ❤️

In 1916, Zurich was a beacon for refugees. Fleeing the death and destruction of World War I, artists and free-thinkers from all over Europe fled to the neutral Swiss city.And it was here that the people who would start the art movement Dada came together. In a rare interview from 1959, held in the BBC archive, Richard Huelsenbeck describes how the group of young artists and pacifists shared a despair about the war and a disgust for bourgeois values.At the Cabaret Voltaire, he and the Romanian-born poet Tristan Tzara, the French sculptor Jean Arp and Romanian-born artist Marcel Janco experimented. Performances were known for their spontaneity, chance and absurdity - a departure from the conventional which confronted audiences. It was the beginning of an aesthetic which would spread across Europe and to New York City, eventually influencing Surrealism and later punk. This episode is produced and presented by Josephine McDermott.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by and curious about the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more.Recent episodes explore everything from how the Excel spreadsheet was developed, the creation of cartoon rabbit Miffy and how the sound barrier was broken.We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: the moment Reagan and Gorbachev met in Geneva, Haitian singer Emerante de Pradines' life and Omar Sharif's legendary movie entrance in Lawrence of Arabia.You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, like the invention of a stent which has saved lives around the world; the birth of the G7; and the meeting of Maldives' ministers underwater. We cover everything from World War Two and Cold War stories to Black History Month and our journeys into space.(Photo: Scene from the Dadaist film Ballet Mécanique, 1924 from the Collection of Musée national d'art moderne, Paris.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-07-09-07-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Mikkel gik ad skovstien og lyttede til fuglenes sang.En: Mikkel walked along the forest path and listened to the birds' song.Da: Sollyset sivede gennem de tætte grene, og skovbunden var dækket af en farverig mosaik af blomster og mos.En: Sunlight seeped through the dense branches, and the forest floor was covered with a colorful mosaic of flowers and moss.Da: Som botaniker var han ofte ude i naturen, men i dag følte han sig lidt adskilt fra det hele.En: As a botanist, he was often out in nature, but today he felt a bit disconnected from it all.Da: Han havde en vigtig opgave: at finde en sjælden blomst, som kunne bringe hans forskning frem i lyset.En: He had an important task: to find a rare flower that could bring his research to light.Da: Det var sommer, og skoven var frodig og levende.En: It was summer, and the forest was lush and alive.Da: Men det gjorde det også svært at finde, hvad han ledte efter.En: But this also made it difficult to find what he was looking for.Da: Stierne var næsten skjult af det høje græs, og han tænkte på, hvor meget tid han allerede havde mistet.En: The paths were almost hidden by the tall grass, and he thought about how much time he had already lost.Da: Mikkel kunne ikke finde blomsten og vidste, at han snart måtte tage en beslutning.En: Mikkel couldn't find the flower and knew he would soon have to make a decision.Da: Han standsede et øjeblik og kiggede op mod de svajende grene.En: He stopped for a moment and looked up at the swaying branches.Da: Måske var det tid til at forlade den trygge sti.En: Perhaps it was time to leave the familiar path.Da: Hans indre stemme hviskede om risikoen ved at fare vild, men hans nysgerrighed og behovet for resultater tvang ham til at tage chancen.En: His inner voice whispered about the risk of getting lost, but his curiosity and need for results forced him to take a chance.Da: Forsigtigt trak han sig væk fra stien, ind i de tætte buskadser.En: Cautiously, he stepped away from the path into the dense thickets.Da: Da han gik dybere ind i skoven, mærkede han en ro sænke sig over ham.En: As he went deeper into the forest, he felt a calmness settle over him.Da: Skovens lyde indhyllede ham, og han blev en del af sin omgivelse.En: The sounds of the forest enveloped him, and he became a part of his surroundings.Da: Han hørte et lille vandløb i nærheden og fulgte lyden.En: He heard a small stream nearby and followed the sound.Da: Pludselig åbnede skoven sig ind til en lysning, hvor solen badede jorden i gyldent lys.En: Suddenly, the forest opened up into a clearing where the sun bathed the ground in golden light.Da: Der, midt i lysningen, voksede den blomsterhan havde søgt.En: There, in the middle of the clearing, grew the flower he had been seeking.Da: Blomstens sarte, blå kronblade bøjede sig yndefuldt i vinden.En: The flower's delicate blue petals bent gracefully in the wind.Da: Mikkel gik langsomt hen til den og smilede ved synet.En: Mikkel walked slowly up to it and smiled at the sight.Da: Han begyndte at tage sine prøver forsigtigt, mens han fyldtes med en pludselig stolthed over sit fund.En: He began to take his samples carefully, filled with a sudden pride over his discovery.Da: Men pludselig hørte han en bevægelse i buskene bagved.En: But suddenly he heard movement in the bushes behind him.Da: Han frøs.En: He froze.Da: Tankerne fløj gennem hans hoved.En: Thoughts raced through his head.Da: Hvad kunne det være?En: What could it be?Da: Han forblev stille og ventede.En: He remained still and waited.Da: Efter lidt tid skilte buskene sig, og ud trådte en lille familie af rådyr.En: After a while, the bushes parted, and out stepped a small family of deer.Da: Mikkel åndede lettet op og betragtede, hvordan de forsigtigt bevægede sig gennem lysningen, uvidende om hans tilstedeværelse.En: Mikkel sighed in relief and watched as they cautiously moved through the clearing, unaware of his presence.Da: Dette øjeblik, så fyldt med liv og skønhed, rørte ham dybt.En: This moment, so full of life and beauty, touched him deeply.Da: Han indså, at hans arbejde var mere end bare anerkendelse.En: He realized that his work was about more than just recognition.Da: Det handlede om at forstå og bevare skovens skønhed.En: It was about understanding and preserving the forest's beauty.Da: Da han gik tilbage, havde han en ny forståelse af, hvad det betød at være botaniker.En: As he walked back, he had a new understanding of what it meant to be a botanist.Da: Med en rolig sind vendte Mikkel tilbage gennem skoven.En: With a calm mind, Mikkel returned through the forest.Da: Blomsten var sikret, men vigtigere, han havde fornyet sin forbindelse til naturen.En: The flower was secured, but more importantly, he had renewed his connection to nature.Da: Han vidste nu, at hans livsværk skulle handle om mere end blot forskning: det skulle være om at beskytte og bevare alt, hvad denne smukke skov repræsenterede.En: He now knew that his life's work should be about more than just research: it should be about protecting and preserving everything this beautiful forest represented.

kunstner.En: No one in the neighborhood knew that Mikkel dreamt of being an artist.Da: "Kom nu, Mikkel," mumlede han til sig selv og løftede skitsebogen fra sofabordet.En: "Come on, Mikkel," he muttered to himself, lifting the sketchbook from the coffee table.Da: Barbecuen var en mulighed for at komme tættere på sine naboer, for at vise en del af ham, de aldrig havde set.En: The barbecue was an opportunity to get closer to his neighbors, to show a part of himself they had never seen.Da: Men hvad hvis de ikke kunne lide hans tegninger?En: But what if they didn't like his drawings?Da: Tanken bekymrede ham, men han vidste, han måtte tage chancen for at bryde ensomheden.En: The thought worried him, but he knew he had to take the chance to break the loneliness.Da: Mikkel ankom til

others," she encouraged.Da: Det var øjeblikket.En: This was the moment.Da: Mikkel følte en varm bølge af mod.En: Mikkel felt a warm wave of courage.Da: Maksimal beslutsomhed i sit sind, gik han hen

tegninger.En: She introduced his book to the others, and soon they were all looking through his drawings.Da: Deres ansigter lyste op af beundring og undren.En: Their faces lit up with admiration and wonder.Da: "Wow, du har talent!"En: "Wow, you have talent!"Da: sagde Jens med et bredt smil.En: said Jens with a broad smile.Da: "Det vidste vi ikke."En: "We didn't know that."Da: Kommentarerne

shoulders.Da: For første gang følte han sig virkelig set og accepteret.En: For the first time, he felt truly seen and accepted.Da: Hen mod slutningen af aftenen sad Mikkel blandt sine naboer, mere indlevende i samtalerne end nogensinde før.En: Towards the end of the evening, Mikkel sat among his neighbors, more engaged in the conversations than ever before.Da: Han indså, at ved at dele sit indre univers havde han åbnet døren til en ny forbindelse med dem omkring sig.En: He realized that by sharing his inner world, he had opened the door to a new connection with those around him.Da: En skælvende start blev en fortrolig aften, fyldt med latter og nyvunden venskaber.En: A trembling start became a familiar evening, filled with laughter and newfound friendships.Da: Da han senere gik hjem, vidste Mikkel, at han ikke længere behøvede at skjule den del af ham, der længtes efter farve og form.En: As he walked home later, Mikkel knew he no longer needed to hide the part of him that longed for color and form.Da: Han havde fundet sin plads i nabolaget.En: He had found his place in the neighborhood.Da: Farvel, generthed – velkommen, selvsikkerhed.En: Goodbye, shyness – welcome, confidence.

With The Art of Living in Avant-Garde Paris: Ethics and Self-Making in Dada, Simultanism, and Surrealism (University of Chicago Press, 2026), Rachel Silveri takes a fresh look at the desire to unify art and life, an ambition long regarded as foundational to the European historical avant-gardes. She reveals how many early twentieth-century artists saw their own everyday lives—their bodies, identities, and relationships—as a type of creative material and a central component to their avant-garde practice. These artists abandoned traditional forms of artmaking and venues of art viewing, instead aspiring to integrate art with everyday life, creating an “art of living.”  Considering Tristan Tzara's performances of Dadaist identity, Sonia Delaunay's simultaneous fashions and self-branding, and the collective endeavor to open and operate the Surrealist Research Bureau, Silveri offers a new narrative about how the artists of interwar Paris developed experiential life practices that resisted dominant forms of “lifestyle” and normative discourses surrounding gender, ethnicity, and office work. This book argues that ethical questions of “How should I live?” and “How should I relate to others?” were as important to the avant-garde as politics, and that aspirations to change the world played out in daily practices of self-making. Hannah Freed-Thall is Professor of French Literature, Thought and Culture at NYU. She is the author, most recently, of Modernism at the Beach: Queer Ecologies and the Coastal Commons.

latter, var nu stille og gav et spøgelsesagtigt indtryk.En: Tivoli, once filled with life and laughter, was now quiet and gave off a ghostly impression.Da: Freja, med et glimt i øjet, betragtede parkens ruiner fra skolens samlingssted.En: Freja, with a glint in her eye, gazed at the park's ruins from the school's gathering place.Da: Hun var på opdagelse.En: She was on an adventure.Da: Det var Sankthansaften, midsommerens store aften, men der var ingen bål eller festivas i den gamle forlystelsespark.En: It was Sankthansaften, the great midsummer evening, but there were no bonfires or festivities in the old amusement park.Da: Fordums glæde var kun en svag erindring.En: The joy of days gone by was only a faint memory.Da: Mikkel og Soren var som skygger følgesyge efter deres nysgerrige veninde, nysgerrige og opsatte på en ny mission.En: Mikkel and Soren were like shadows, faithfully following their curious friend, inquisitive and intent on a new mission.Da: “Kom nu,” hviskede Freja med en eventyrlignende iver.En: "Come on," whispered Freja with a fairy-tale-like eagerness.Da: Hun havde hørt om stedet fra sin bedstefar.En: She had heard about the place from her grandfather.Da: Hvordan det før var et sted for glæde og magi.En: How it was once a place of joy and magic.Da: Mikkel, en dygtig byggekunstdesigner i sin egen ret, pegede på en rodet planche, der lå på jorden: “Jeg tror, vi kan finde gamle kort herinde.En: Mikkel, a skilled architectural designer in his own right, pointed to a messy board lying on the ground: "I think we can find old maps in here.Da: Måske kan de lede os til det, vi søger.” De tre venner sneg sig væk fra gruppen og ind i parkens dybder.En: Maybe they can lead us to what we're searching for."Da: Vegetationen havde taget magten.En: The three friends sneaked away from the group and into the depths of the park.Da: Græs og blomster kravlede over berg- og dalbaner, som blev formummet af tidens greb.En: Vegetation had taken over.Da: Freja førte an, og hendes øjne skinnede mere og mere, som de trængte længere ind i parken.En: Grass and flowers crawled over roller coasters, which were disguised by the grip of time.Da: Hun havde hørt om en hemmelig underjordisk passsage under den gamle rutsjebane.En: Freja led the way, and her eyes shone more and more as they delved deeper into the park.Da: I dag ville hun finde den.En: She had heard of a secret underground passage beneath the old roller coaster.Da: Ikke længe efter opdagede de en falmet dør, halvt skjult af kaprifolier.En: Today, she intended to find it.Da: Freja bøjede sig ned og trak døren op med en smule kamp.En: Not long after, they discovered a faded door, half-hidden by honeysuckles.Da: Det knagede og bragede, men gav til sidst efter.En: Freja bent down and pulled the door open with some struggle.Da: Mikkel og Soren trak efter.En: It creaked and groaned but eventually gave way.Da: Pustet af luft duftede af gammel sten og fugtig jord.En: Mikkel and Soren followed.Da: Inde i kammeret fandt de et arkiv af papirer og gamle filmruller.En: The burst of air smelled of old stone and damp earth.Da: Freja greb fat i en ristet spool og en håndfuld papirer.En: Inside the chamber, they found an archive of papers and old film reels.Da: Dokumenter om det gamle Tivoli, fyldt med oplysninger om den store ulykke, der havde forvandlet haven til det, den nu var.En: Freja grabbed a rusted spool and a handful of papers—documents about the old Tivoli, filled with information about the great accident that had transformed the garden into what it now was.Da: Pludselig hørtes lyde.En: Suddenly, noises were heard.Da: Parkens mystiske vogtere, de der vogter over hemmelighederne, nærmede sig.En: The park's mysterious guardians, those who watched over its secrets, were approaching.Da: Hurtigt begyndte Freja og hendes venner at lede efter en udgang.En: Quickly, Freja and her friends began to search for an exit.Da: Deres hjerter bankede hastigt, men Freja var ikke bange.En: Their hearts raced, but Freja was unafraid.Da: De fandt en skjult tunnel, der førte dem tilbage mod skolens område.En: They found a hidden tunnel that led them back towards the school's area.Da: Da de endelig slap ud i frisk luft, var det med en opdagelse rigere.En: When they finally emerged into the fresh air, they did so with a newfound discovery.Da: De havde fundet en del af fortidens historie, som nu var blevet deres.En: They had uncovered a piece of history, which was now theirs.Da: Da klassen samlede sig igen, delte Freja, Mikkel og Soren deres fund.En: As the class gathered again, Freja, Mikkel, and Soren shared their findings.Da: De fortalte om deres oplevelse, og klassekammeraterne lyttede stumme til eventyret.En: They recounted their experience, and their classmates listened in silence to the adventure.Da: Tilsidst, vendte de hjem fra ekskursionen, vidende at de havde fundet noget, der var større end dem selv.En: Ultimately, they returned home from the excursion, knowing they had discovered something bigger than themselves.Da: Frejas mod havde afsløret mere end blot en gammel hemmelighed.En: Freja's courage had revealed more than just an old secret.Da: Hun havde opdaget en del af sig selv, en spirit der kærlede for eventyr og sandhed.En: She had discovered a part of herself, a spirit that yearned for adventure and truth.Da: En næsten glemt stemme sang fra en af filmrullerne, og lyden af gamle tider blandede sig med sommervinden.En: An almost forgotten voice sang from one of the film reels, and the sound of times past mingled with the summer wind.Da: Midsommer var aldrig mere fuld af magi.En: Midsummer was never more filled with magic.

When our youngest son was just learning to walk and talk, my wife always knew when I walked in the door from work. She said she would just hear this loud, one-syllable announcement from our son, "DA!" No, not "Daddy"…not "Da-Da," just "DA"! And that's how he would greet me as I walked in. My wife said he actually would go to the door late in the afternoon and begin looking for me. And when I finally arrived—say it with me now—"DA!" I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Looking For Daddy.” My son went to the door looking for his father, and he found one. Tragically, a lot of people have gone looking for a father in their life and there was no one there. In fact, maybe for you the word "father" is a hurting word. In one way or another, your father wasn't there for you—physically, financially, emotionally, or supportively. You went to the door, but there was no one there. That leaves an emotional deficit. It makes you feel incomplete, cheated, unexplainably lonely, trying to compensate for the lack of a father's love in countless ways…some that leave you even more scarred. I call it a Daddy deficit. In our word for today from the Word of God there is hope for someone who has never had the father they needed. Galatians 4:4-6, God's Word, "When the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." God is showing us here this incredible possibility of actually belonging to our Creator in a deeply personal way—as a child in His family, with God Himself as your Father. Not like your earthly father. No, God is like the father we always wished we had, not the father we had. And God goes on to say here, "Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.'" Now, in the Greek language this part of the Bible was written in, that "Abba" is a deeply affectionate word for Father; it's like "Daddy" or "DA!" See, God literally offers you, not a religion, not a rulebook, but a love-relationship with Him—the Creator God—as your Daddy. Even if you've had a wonderful earth-father, there's still that sense of incompleteness, that sense of someone's missing. That's because someone is. See, there's a hole in your heart that can only be filled by this One who wants to be your Heavenly Father. He's always fair, always loving, always understanding what you're feeling, always dependable, always stronger than anything you're facing—always there for you. We're missing our ultimate Father, not because He's left us, but because we left Him. The Bible says, "Each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6). We're separated from God by all the sins of our life--every time we've done it our way instead of His way. That's why, in the Scripture we read, "God sent His Son... to redeem" us. I'll tell you this; God removed all doubt about whether or not He really loves you when He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to pay your death penalty for your sin on His cross. I don't know how you picture God, whether He's waving a condemning finger at you, or His arms are folded, staring at you, or He's just too busy for you. That might have been your earthly father. It's not the Heavenly Father. His arms are wide open. He's so waiting for you to come to Him. The Father you've wanted your whole life becomes your Father when you put your trust in His Son, Jesus, to forgive all your sin. The Bible says, “To all those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become the children of God.” When you open up to God's Son, He makes you a daughter or a son of God. If you've never begun a relationship with Him, I would encourage you today to let your heavenly Daddy come into your life and love you as you were always meant to be loved, with a love that Jesus came for you to have. Tell Him, “Jesus, I'm yours beginning today.” Our website will give you more information on how to be sure you belong to Him. Check it out - It's ANewStory.com.
