Philip Gulley, Peterson, and Sweet Miche share their personal journeys of unlearning traditional theological concepts and reflect on what makes Quakerism a meaningful path to a more authentic faith. Gulley highlights fear as a significant motivator for religious beliefs and a tool for control and how the current political moment is a masterfully evil manipulation of human fears. Gulley also offers his perspective on the continued usefulness of organized religion, emphasizing the importance of bringing people together, respecting personal autonomy, and aligning its social efforts with the ethos of Jesus and radical love. Philip Gulley is a Quaker pastor, writer, and speaker from Danville, Indiana. Gulley has written 22 books, including the Harmony series recounting life in the eccentric Quaker community of Harmony, Indiana, and the best-selling Porch Talk essay series. Gulley's memoir, I Love You, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood, was a finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Hor. In addition, Gulley, with co-author James Mulholland, shared their progressive spirituality in the books If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, followed by Gulley's books If the Church Were Christian and The Evolution of Faith. In Living the Quaker Way: Timeless Wisdom For a Better Life Today, Gulley offers the opportunity to participate in a world where the values of the Quaker way bring equity, peace, healing, and hope. In his most recently published non-fiction work, Unlearning God: How Unbelieving Helped Me Believe, Gulley describes the process of spiritual growth, especially the re-interpretation of the earliest principles we learned about God. Resources Here are some resources for friends in the process of unlearning and seeking spiritual growth: Therapy Therapy and spiritual growth can be deeply complementary. While therapy doesn't typically provide spiritual direction, it creates fertile ground for unlearning and spiritual development. You can use online therapist directories to find a therapist by location, insurance, specialty, cost, and more at Psychology Today, TherapyDen, or Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Poets and Authors Audre Lorde is a profoundly influential Black lesbian feminist writer, poet, theorist, and civil rights activist. Her work powerfully explores the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability. You can read her essays in Sister Outsider and her "biomythography" Zami: A New Spelling of My Name. Federico Garcia Lorca is one of Spain's most important poets and playwrights of the 20th century. His work is celebrated for its intense lyricism, surreal imagery, and passionate exploration of themes like love, death, desire, oppression, and Andalusian culture, particularly in works like Gypsy Ballads and plays such as Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba. Walt Whitman is a central figure in American poetry, often called the "Bard of Democracy." Whitman revolutionized poetry with his use of free verse and expansive lines. His lifelong work, Leaves of Grass, celebrates the individual, democracy, nature, the body, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all life, aiming to capture the diverse spirit of America. Mary Oliver is an American poet who focuses on the natural world, particularly the landscapes of New England. Her work finds wonder, spirituality, and profound insight in quiet observation and moments of attention to nature, inviting readers to connect more deeply with the world around them. Christian Wiman is a contemporary American poet and essayist known for his unflinching honesty and intellectual rigor in exploring themes of faith, doubt, suffering (often drawing on his own experience with chronic illness), mortality, and love. Joy Harjo is a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and served as the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate. Her work weaves together Indigenous history, spirituality, myth, social justice, resilience, and a deep connection to the land, often infused with the rhythms of music and prayer. Akwake Emezi is a non-binary Nigerian writer and artist known for their powerful, innovative, and often genre-bending work. Their novels (like Freshwater and The Death of Vivek Oji) explore complex themes of identity, spirituality (often drawing on Igbo cosmology), gender, mental health, trauma, and the body, challenging conventional Western frameworks of selfhood. Elaine Pagels is a renowned historian of religion, particularly noted for her scholarship on early Christianity and Gnosticism. Her groundbreaking book, The Gnostic Gospels, brought non-canonical early Christian texts to wider attention, revealing the diversity of early Christian thought and exploring how political and social contexts shaped religious history and scripture. LGBTQ+ film festivals are events dedicated to showcasing films by, for, or about queer individuals and communities. They serve as vital platforms for representation, providing visibility for filmmakers and stories often marginalized in mainstream media. These festivals (like Frameline, Outfest, NewFest, and countless others globally) are also important spaces for community building and celebrating queer culture. Quaker Voluntary Service is a year-long program rooted in Quaker values. It brings young adults together to live in an intentional community, work full-time in social justice-focused non-profit organizations, and engage in spiritual exploration and leadership development, putting faith into action. Listener Responses We hear directly from Roxanne, who unlearned the idea that any single group holds the definitive spiritual answer, instead discovering valuable truths across diverse practices and traditions through their continuous seeking. On Facebook, friends shared their experience wrestling with the traditional ideas about God they grew up with. Many people mentioned letting go of a harsh or judgmental image of God, questioning core doctrines, and letting go of feelings of unworthiness.

Lo zorongo Gitano non è esattamente un palo flamenco, ma una canzone che viene dal repertorio popolare andaluso. Ha una melodia popolare semplice. Si suona por medio in modalità flamenca, quindi è facile da afflamencare. Abbiamo una sola forma di letra e un estribillo, e questo indica che non si è sviluppato molto. Non si sa gran che delle sue origini, forse le sue radici antiche sono da ricercarsi in balli africani provenienti dal Congo. Non è una follia, dato che nel porto di Cadice e nel porto di fiume di Siviglia passavano tutti i commerci dalle indie e dall'Africa, inclusi gli schiavi diretti alle Americhe.In effetti la parola stessa non suona molto europea!Che fosse un ballo di schiavi africani lo dicevano i pliegos de cordel, antichi libretti che venivano venduti in una sorta di edicola ante litteram: fogli stampati, piegati appesi su una cordicella in vendita. Raccontavano storie, poesie, aneddoti. Probabilmente lo zorongo era un baile gitano, sulla scia della zarabanda, della quale era una versione meno volgare, più morigerata. Si ballava a coppie, nelle zambras del Sacromonte di Granada. Ce ne parla Faustino Nuñez, il flamencologo di cui sempre ti parlo, nel suo libro "Guia comentada de musica y baile preflamencos (1750-1808)", come una parte importante del folklore spagnolo. Ci parla di una letra antica: "!Ay, zorongo, zorongo, zorongo! Que lo que mi madre me compra me pongo, que si me compraba una camisita que llena de encajes que por las manguitas que toma zorongo" Ahi zorongo, che quello che mi compra mia madre io me lo metto, che se mi avesse comprato una camicetta con le maniche di pizzo, que toma (espressione intraducibile, che significa qualcosa come "ecco!"). Comunque anche con questa strofa non si capisce il significato della parola! Probabilmente è un suono divertente. La parola stessa indica un fazzoletto triangolare usato come bandana.All'inizio del 900 viene praticato dai gitani del Sacromonte soprattutto come danza. Il ritmo era ternaio, come tutto il folklore spagnolo. Le strofe parlano di amore non corrisposto, di cui però si è molto fieri. Importantissimo a riguardo il lavoro di Federico Garcia Lorca. Il sommo poeta raccolse le strofe di canti popolari antichi spagnoli, e li incise in una collezione di 5 dischi per il grammofono, per l'etichetta "La voz de su Amo" (La Voce del Padrone) nel 1931, arrangiandone la musica, e suonandola al piano personalmente. Ad accompagnarlo, al canto, nacchere e zapateo, La Argentinita. Ogni disco conteneva due brani, uno su ogni lato, e uno di questi era proprio lo zorongo.La collezione ebbe un enorme successo e salvò dall'oblio molte canzoni popolari antiche. Lo zorongo in effetti come tale venne dimenticato, ma venne da lì in poi ricordata la versione del poeta, che ne compose anche qualche strofa, oltre a ricostruirne di popolari: se ascolti le strofe di zorongo gitano, ti rendi conto che non possono essere di tradizione popolare, perché contengono parole troppo ricercate e immagini non banali. Ad esempio la strofa famosa: "las manos de mi cariño estan bordando una capa con nagréman de alhelies y con esclavinas de agua" (le mani del mio amore stanno ricamando un mantello con passamanerie di violacchiocche e con mantelline di acqua)... non è propriamente linguaggio popolare!Esistono parecchie strofe poetiche por zorongo, ma la melodia è sempre la stessa. Inoltre c'è un ritornello. Che nella versione del 1931 non viene neppure cantato ma soltanto suonato al piano e ripetuto ritmicamente dal zapateo de la Argentinita. Il poeta però scrisse le parole del ritornello. La voce di Argentinita ci fa capire che nel flamenco ognuno canta.. con la voce che ha! E che non esiste una estetica della voce! Antonio el bailarin, Antonio Ruiz Soler, nel 1964 lo ballò con Marisol, Pepa Flores, sul canto della stessa Marisol, nel film "La nueva cenicienta". Il film era stato fatto con il proposito di lanciare Marisol sul mercato cinematografico internazionale, e infatti fu diretto da un regista americano che era solito produrre film western. Non ebbe molto successo, forse anche perché Marisol non era più la bambina prodigio dei tempi in cui divenne famosa. Però il fatto che sia stato registrato lo zorongo in questo film ci dice che il brano era molto noto, e forse anche questo intervento di Antonio el bailarin lo rese ancor più famoso. Nel modo di cantare di Marisol si sente molto il gusto di canto che c'è nella storia della copla spagnola. Il ritmo è il solito ritmo 123 123 12 12 12, tipico del folklore spagnolo, e che chi conosce il flamenco sa che è molto diffuso. Nelle orecchie questo ritmo ce l'hai già: ascolta la colonna sonora di West Side Story! Leonard Bernstein ha preso questo ritmo proprio dal folklore spagnolo!Un ritmo ternario di amalgama, suonato in modo flamenco, in tono di la minore... suona molto flamenco! Ed è molto facilmente afflamencabile!Ti faccio ascoltare l'introduzione con gli "y" tipica por Caña o Policaña o Polo (che sono altri palos del flamenco), per la voce di José de La Tomasa, che è praticamente la stessa melodia del ritornello dello zorongo. Comunque questa sequenza di suoni è basata sulla cadenza andalusa, che è proprio la atmosfera tipica delle sonorità musicali spagnole. Ascoltiamolo insieme al ritornello di zorongo!Ti faccio sentire una registrazione di uno Zorongo cantato da Teodoro Perez Villanueva un cantaor sivigliano storico, che raccoglie in sé la storia del flamenco. Classe 1912, è l'esempio di un'epoca. Per la chitarra di El Pucherete. Questo audio viene da una trasmissione televisiva del 1973, emessa dalla televisione spagnola Tve, dallo storico tablao Torre Bermeja di Madrid. Voce forte potente e chiara. La sua versione dello zorongo è molto bella e personale. Parlando dello zorongo non ci possiamo dimenticare della versione che mne fece nel 1993 Carmen Linares, con il disco Canciones populares antiguas, con la collaborazione di musicisti eccezionali (Miguel Angel e Paco Cortes alla chitarra, Javier Colina al contrabbasso, Bernardo Parrilla al violino, Juan Parrilla al flauto). La grande particolarità è che Carmen lo canta il 4/4 come se fosse un tango, e la sua versione ha fatto scuola. Sono Sabina Todaro, mi occupo di flamenco e danze e musiche del mondo arabo dal 1985. Dal 1990 insegno baile flamenco e Lyrical Arab Dance, un lavoro sull'espressione delle emozioni attraverso le danze e le musiche del mondo arabo al Mosaico Danza di Milano. Mi sono più volte cimentata con lo zorongo insegnando, e il tema è davvero facile da ricordare. Interessante è il ritornello che può essere cantato molto lentamente come introduzione, ed è molto espressivo! La danza può far riferimento alla danza spagnola, se viene fatto in 12 tempi con il ritmo ternario originale, o si assimila ad un tango flamenco. Ha una identità non particolarmente individuata, proprio perché non ci sono tante melodie: infatti non si tratta di un vero e proprio palo flamenco ma di una canzone afflamencata.Ascoltalo e.. formati il tuo gusto personale!
Prima di ascoltare questo podcast ti consiglio di andare ad ascoltare i due precedenti, in cui ho parlato delle origini e dell'evoluzione della Petenera in tempi più antichi.Questo podcast parla di come la Petenera si è evoluta fino ai nostri giorni.Ascoltiamo diversi esempi, partendo dalla petenera più antica mai incisa, del Mochuelo, edita da Gramophone nel 1899. La registrazione viene dall'archivio della Sociedad Pizarras, che fa un lavoro incredibile di recupero dei dischi antichi che vengono messi on line a disposiizone di tutti su youtube invece che buttati in discarica. Fra l'altro io sono socia, e tu puoi associarti, o per lo meno sostenere la Sociedad seguendo il canale youtube.Ascoltare dischi antichi pieni di click e fruscii non è facile ma sono dei gioielli incredibili, ed è molto prezioso ascoltarli.La petenera più antica era quella di Medina el Viejo, che però non ha inciso nulla ma possiamo ascoltare una registrazione fatta da suo figlio, El Nino Medina, accompagnato dal chitarrista Ramon Montoya, un mito della storia del flamenco.Ascoltiamo anche un esempio della bellissima voce di Juan Breva, che aveva imparato a cantare la petenera dal Nino Medina, collega di spettacolo nei locali. Juan Breva, classe 1844 o forse 1846, era bravissimo e molto famoso, nacque a Velez Malaga, ed ebbe grande successo a Malaga e poi a Madrid. Personalizzò il cante di Medina el Viejo, e probabilmente fu lui a rendere famosa questa melodia, La seconda strofa cantata dal Mochuelo nella registrazione del 1899 è proprio la petenera di Juan Breva, in una versione più rapida e leggera, "commerciale". Come mai ci fu questa evoluzione da allora ad oggi? La petenera di quell'epoca a cavallo fra 800 e 900 era molto diversa. Grande responsabilità fu quella di Pastora Pavon la Nina de los Peines, che imparò il cante por petenera di Medina attraverso el Nino Medina, grazie a suo fratello, Arturo Pavon, che non divenne un cantaor famoso perché non amava esibirsi in pubblico. Tutto ciò che Pastora cantava diventava meravigliosamente flamenco e molto artitico e profondo. Petenera inclusa! Ascoltiamo un esempio di una letra dello stile che viene attribuio proprio a lei. Il suo cante era molto più lento e molto meno ritmico. Anche Antonio Chacon fece molto per la storia della petenera. Cantava due letras di petenera di Medina el Viejo e una di propria creazione (qualche flamencologo dice che non fu lui a creare questa forma specifica, ma fatto sta che la cantava lui). Non possiamo ascoltare Chacon che canta Petenera perché purtroppo non ci sono registrazioni sue, ma possiamo ascoltare il suo stile cantato da Alfredo Arrebola. Per fortuna il flamenco cita spesso se stesso!Il modo di cantare di Chacon è stato tramandato tantissimo non solo da Chacon stesso ma dal suo chitarrista, Perico el Del Lunar, che fra l'altro ha gestito la famosissima antologia del Cante Flamenco edita da Hispavox negli anni 50 che è stata una pietra miliare del cante flamenco, punto di riferimento per tutti i cantaores a venire. Ascoltiamo anche Rafael Romero El Gallina accompagnato da Perico, che canta allo stile di Chacon. El Gallina ha educato altri cantaores a cantare allo stile di Chacon, come Bernardo de los Lobitos, Pericon de Cadiz o Pepe de la Matrona.Ci sono anche creazioni personali di Petenera, interessanti. C'è quella suonata da Federico Garcia Lorca al piano e cantata da la Argentinita, ripresa da Carmen Linares. TI faccio ascoltare entrambe le versioni, ma prima di quella di Carmen Linares nel disco "Canciones populares antiguas", ti faccio ascoltare la stessa Carmen che canta El Pano Moruno, che molti vedono come un predecessore della petenera. Sentirai gli elementi in comune.La stessa Carmen Linares ci regala un'altra strofa incredibile di petenera, bellissima, nel Cd La Luna y el Rio. La letra parla di tema ebraico. Spendiamo due parole per la salida del cante. Anticamente si faceva, ed era molto breve (forse perché il tempo a disposizione per le registrazioni era cortissimo), soltanto prendere la nota. Oggi in pratica non si fa più. Altra cosa su cui riflettere è il fatto che la petenera ha fama di portare sfortuna. Questa superstizione nacque probabilmente a metà del 900, quando nell'opera teatrale La Cabalgata durante la tournee a Londra dello spettacolo, mentre veniva cantata la Petenera, la ballerina Mari Paz doveva interpretare una donna di nome petenera, morta e in corteo funebre, ma la ballerina morì davvero e lo spettacolo venne interrotto. Forse i cantaores hanno questa superstizione a causa del legame fra questo cante e la tradizione ebraica, per pregiudizio.In realtà i cantaores gitani, che sono anche superstiziosi, l'hanno cantata, come la Nina de los peines o lo stesso Camaron de la Isla.Probabilmente la questione è che il cante por petenera è molto difficile sia emozionalmente che tecnicamente E non tutti riescono a cantarlo!Sono Sabina Todaro, mi occupo di flamenco e di danze e musiche del mondo arabo dal 1985 e dal 1990 insegno a Milano baile flamenco e Lyrical Arab Dance, un lavoro sull'espressione delle emozioni attraverso le danze del mondo arabo.Insegnando amo tantissimo montare beiles por petenera e anche usare questo palo per fare esercizi. Per un bailaor, è di grande ispirazione per lavorare sulla danza in modo espressivo. Consiglio assolutamente di ascoltare il meraviglioso lavoro di Carmen de la Jara, che forse è l'unica cantaora che nel suo repertorio oggi conserva tutte le melodie della storia della petenera.

Federico Garcia Lorca, l'un des plus grands poètes espagnols du XXe siècle, est exécuté le 19 août 1936 par des phalangistes près de Grenade, dans le contexte de la guerre civile espagnole. Né en Andalousie dans une famille bourgeoise, il développe une sensibilité artistique inspirée par le folklore local et les minorités discriminées, comme les gitans. Proche de Salvador Dalí et Luis Buñuel, Lorca participe à un renouveau artistique audacieux à Madrid dans les années 1920. Engagé politiquement, il soutient la Seconde République espagnole et dirige La Barraca, un théâtre itinérant promouvant la culture dans les zones rurales. Son œuvre, marquée par la défense des opprimés, le place au cœur de la scène intellectuelle. Cependant, son homosexualité et son engagement républicain en font une cible des franquistes lors de la guerre civile. Son assassinat reste un symbole tragique de l'oppression et son héritage artistique perdure comme un pilier de la culture espagnole.

Eigentlich spielten Kinder in der Lebensplanung des beruflich erfolgreichen und wohlsituierten Paares bislang keine Rolle. Doch jetzt möchte SIE das Projekt Kind angehen. Er hat auch nichts dagegen. So weit so gut. Doch mit jedem Monat, in dem SIE wieder nicht schwanger geworden ist, arbeitet SIE verbissener an dem Plan und richtet das ganze Leben danach aus. Ihr Kinderwunsch wird zur alles zerstörenden Obsession. Simon Stone hat »Yerma« nach Motiven von Federico Garcia Lorca geschrieben. Im Zentrum steht das Drama der ungewollt kinderlos bleibenden Frau. War es bei Lorca eine Bäuerin im katholischen Spanien der 30er Jahre, deren Frau-Sein untrennbar an das Gebären von Kindern gebunden war, ist es bei Stone eine erfolgsverwöhnte Großstädterin, die ein Scheitern nicht akzeptiert, wenn SIE sich einmal etwas in den Kopf gesetzt hat. Die Geschichte geht unter die Haut, soviel sei schon verraten. Hören Sie in unserem Podcast in einzelne Szenen hinein. Außerdem hat sich Podcasterin Katja Schlonski mit Regisseur Elias Perrig, Hauptdarstellerin Juliane Schwabe und Schauspieler Nils Brück unterhalten. Die beiden spielen ein Paar, das sich durch den unerfüllten Kinderwunsch in einem Albtraum wiederfindet.
durée : 00:07:28 - L'Instant poésie - Clara Ysé a choisi de nous faire entendre le poème "Complainte de la peine sombre', de Federico Garcia Lorca, un auteur et un compositeur qu'elle adore.

In the '80s and '90s, many Puerto Rican poets who lived in the contiguous United States wrote within a fixed aya and aca/mainland vs. island story. The island was home. Jane Alberdeston Coralin and other contemporary Puerto Rican poets approach their selves, memories and bodies as home. And: Latin American literature of the 60's was complex and required active readers. By the 70s and 80s, the literature had conformed to the demands of the marketplace: it was localist, exotic and saturated with magical realism. Tomás Regalado-López says that the 1996 Crack Movement transformed the marketplace for Latin American writers. It shifted things from a narrow stereotype to a land of endless possibilities. Plus: In the 1950s, a Californian poet named Jack Spicer did something wonky. He wrote the introduction to his book in the voice of long deceased poet Federico Garcia Lorca. And he took liberty to translate Lorca's work as he wished. Scott Challener says that this inspired a generation of poets to approach translation as correspondence.
La Llave de oro del cante flamenco è un riconoscimento particolare che è stato consegnato soltanto a 5 cantaores nella storia. Non si sa chi lo abbia progettato e forse è il più antico premio flamenco. La storia del flamecno è costellata di cantaores bravissimi, ma soltanto 5 sono stati premiati con la LLave. In teoria sarebbe un premio legato alla diffusione dei valori tradizionali del cante, ma non è mai esistito un canone preciso per attribuirlo.La prima llave del cante è stata data a Tomas el Nitri, un cantaor gitano gaditano, del Puerto de Santa Maria, parente del famosissimo cantaor delle origini El Fillo. Era un personaggio molto nervoso, e probabilmente di sfogava cantando, quindi apportò molto alla siguiriya, che appunto per lui era un urlo. El Nitri era molto in disaccordo con l'operato del famosissimo Silverio Franconetti, il cantaor che professionalizzò per primo il cante, creando locali in cui ci si potesse esibire appunto professionalmente: i Cafés Cantantes. El Nitri non amava che il flamenco uscisse dall'ambito originario del cante gitano. Probabilmente la chiave era copia della chiave del recinto dei tori dell'arena di Malaga, e la vediamo nell'unica immagine che esist del Nitri, che posa seduto, appunto con la chiave in mano. Il premio gli fu consegnato forse nel 1868, forse a Malaga, o a Carmona o a Jeréz... la storia è avvolta dal mistero. E sembra probabile che gli sia stata data dai suoi stessi ammiratori,e non da una autorità. Nella storia del flamenco questa attribuzione di un riconoscimento ad un cantaor gitano è stata una maniera di sottolineare la maggiore valenza del cante gitano su quello payo. Diatriba che esiste ancora oggi, nonostante non si possa certo più parlare ufficialmente di questioni razziali nell'arte, per essere politically correct!El Nitri morì nel 1977, e la Llave de oro non venne attribuita a nessuno per quasi 50 anni. Ti racconto come andò: la storia è interessante!Nel 1922 a Granada diverse autorità, capitanate dal Comune di Granada e da due illustri artisti, Federico Garcia Lorca e Manuel De Falla, poeta l'uno e musicista l'altro, ambedue molto appassionati al flamenco, istituirono un primo Concorso di cante jondo. L'appoggio musicale tecnico del flamenco fu richiesto a Manuel Torre e ad Antonio Chacon, due giganti del flamenco dell'epoca (e non solo!).Nel 1925 gli impresari che gestivano il teatro Pavon a Madrid decisero di cavalcare l'onda del successo del concorso di Granada e crearono la Copa Pavon, un concorso di cante flamenco al quale dsi presentarono cantaorres illustri dell'epoca: El Mochuelo, El Niño Escacena, Pepe Marchena, El Cojo de Malaga, Manuel Vallejo. Manuel Vallejo vinse di gran lunga su tutti. Si può certamente riconoscere che sia stato uno dei migliori cantaores della storia del flamenco. Ha cantato benissimo qualsiasi cosa! Puoi cercare le sue registrazioni sul canale Flamendro della Sociedad Pizarras!L'anno successivo, nella seconda edizione il premio venne dato a Manuel Centeno, un cantaor sicuramente non di primo rilievo, per le sue saetas. Probabilmente questa scelta fu fatta per motivi politici. Antonio Chacon, cantaor che aveva un potere molto forte riguardo alla ufficializzazione del flaemnco e alla sua relazione con le autorità pubbliche, capitanò un gruppo di altri artisti per ribellarsi contro questa scelta non flamenca, e decisero di insignire Manuel Vallejo di un premio importante. Qualcuno pensò alla Llave de oro. Nel 1926 Manuel Vallejo venne insignito del premio, per la gioia dei suoi ammiratori, del flamenco, ma anche degli impresari del teatro Pavon, dato che questo creò un gran fermeto e una grossa pubblicità verso il teatro. Antonio Mairena, di cui ti parlerò fra qualche secondo, giudicò questa scelta dicendo che c'erano molti interessi politici e anche interessi personali di Manuel Torre e di Chacon, forse perché Vallejo non era gitano (e neanche Chacon!), mentre Mairena lo era ed era molto orgoglioso di esserlo, difendendo il cante gitano a spada tratta. In pratica mise in discussione l'autorità di Manuel Vallejo. Manuel Vallejo morì nel 1960 e gli organizzatori del Concorso Nazionale di Cordova decisero di fare una gara per attribuire la chiave ad un altro cantaor meritevole. Era il 1962. I partecipanti a questa gara furono nomi di enorme importanza: Fosforito, El Chocolate, Juan Varea, Pericón de Cádiz, Platero de Alcalá e Antonio Mairena. Antonio Mairena viene insignito del premio, non solo per i suoi cantes ma anche per il valore che aveva questo cantaor nella diffusione del cante e alla cultura del flamenco. Ne parleremo in un podcast dedicato, perché Antonio Mairena è un gigante della storia del flamenco. Molti dissero che il concorso sia stato pilotato proprio per far vincere Antonio Mairena e dar valore alla sua posizione riguardo alla storia del flamecno, al modo di cantare, sostenendo quindi iil mairenismo, una corrente artistica nel flamenco che si basò sulle opinioni di Antonio come unica verità. Fino ad oggi la sua influenza nel cante è enorme. Cantaores cone Manolo Caracol o Pastora Pavon, la Niña de los Peines erano stati esclusi, nonostante la loro indiscutibile bravura.Antonio Mairena morì nel 1983, e da allora il premio non venne attribuito a nessuno fino al 2000, anno in cui si decide di destinarlo postumo a José Monge Cruz, Camaron de la Isla. N3el 2000 Camaron avrebbe compiuto 50 anni e la giunta della provincia di Cadice (Camaron era di San Fernando, in provincia di Cadice) volle dargli un riconoscimento, e venne quindi attribuita a lui la Llave de oro del cante, con consegna nelle mani de La Chispa, Dolores Montoya, la moglie del cantaor. Questa attribuzione è stata molto criticata perché il cantaor era morto, e non era l'unico cantaor importante ad essere morto! Inoltre era un profondo conoscitore del cante tradizionale ma nella sua produzione artistica se ne distaccò a piacere! La Llave del cante successiva, l'ultima, venne attribuita nel 2005 a Antonio Fernandez Diaz Fosforito, cantaor cordobese, di Puente Genil, importante anche per l'impulso che ha dato allo sviluppo di alcuni palos, come la Bambera, la Solea Apola e lo Zangano, che è il fandango abandolao della sua città, Puente Genil, e ha sostenuto lo sviluppo del flamenco.E' un cantaor che ha messo in pace tutti! Il premio è stato attribuito a Fosforito dal Ministero della cultura e su suggerimento dell'associazione delle peñas de Andalucia. Un premio così importante,così legato alle tradizioni, attribuito in modo così discontinuo e con litigi e vantaggi personali, politici... è incredibile! D'altra parte il flamenco ha tanto a che fare con l'emozionalità ma anche con la politica ed il potere.Sono Sabina TodaroRifletto sempre sulla storia del flamenco e rifletto molto su musica, storia, psicoogia, espressione, cutura... e lego tutto al flamenco. Questo è un podcast molto "storico", ma mi faccio comunque delle domande: come mai un premio tanto importante è stato attribuito in modo discontinuo, persino ad un cantante deceduto, escludendone tantissimi super importanti, da Enrique Morente a Antonio Chacon alla Niña de los Peines, a Manolo Caracol... E il criterio di attribuzione è assolutamente misterioso!E' chiaro che ad un certo punto, dato che Fosforito sta per per compiere 92 anni e non potrà mantenere il premio nelle sue mani ancora molto a lungo, il premio andrà attribuito a qualcun altro. E io credo che la prossima artista potrebbe essere Carmen Linares, anche perché la Spagna, cheè stata per tatno tempo machista e maschilista, potrebbe così colmare l'ingiustizia di non aver attribuito il premio a nessuna donna finora e Carmen se lo meriterebbe pienamente.

Playwright Oliver Mayer joined us before the premiere of his new play Ghost Waltz. Oliver shares his experience writing operas, the medium's influence on his playwriting and the musicality of English as well as the intimacy of theatre and creative control, the after affects of "crashing into the wall. We also explore writing rituals, interruptions, reframing your story, breaking bad habits and the dangers of wit, where to start a scene and "when the mask falls," and wrap things up with dialogue and stage directions, the rules of twos and threes, the use of music, translating works, and saving (L.A.) theatre and nontraditional venues. It was certainly another page in the lesson books for me. I hope you walk away with something insightful. Enjoy.Oliver Mayer is a playwright, poet, essayist and librettist, whose newest opera 3 Paderewskis, composed by Jenni Brandon, received its world premiere at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center in 2019.

Hey kids, you wanna get mad about the shitty injustices of the world? You wanna hear the story of a brilliant poet whose life had to end because of how he was born? Wanna hear our perfect pronunciations of Spanish words? Then join us this episode as we delve into the short, sporadic life of one of Spain's most famous poets, Federico Garcia Lorca!
Bei Granada im Süden Spaniens denkt man vor allem an die Alhambra, eine von den Mauren erbaute Stadtburg. Die Alhambra thront auf einem Hügel oberhalb von Granada. Sie ist seit 1984 Weltkulturerbe und eine der meistbesuchten Touristenattraktionen der Welt. Granada war aber auch die Heimat von Federico García Lorca, dem großen spanischen Dichter und Dramatiker. In seinen Gedichten und Dramen hat er der Stadt ein Denkmal gesetzt. Und darüber hinaus dem von Traditionen und einem erdrückenden Katholizismus geprägten Leben im Andalusien zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Viele Gedichte Lorcas wurden vertont. Als Cante Jondos, gesungene Flamencos. Tom Noga über eine Stadt, einen Literaten und einen typisch andalusischen Musikstil, den die Welt fälschlicherweise mit ganz Spanien verbindet.
Episode 073: The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Maria Delgado Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Federico Garcia Lorca's unsparing drama The House of Bernarda Alba is not only a tragic family drama, but its portrait of oppression and social conformity also reflects the dangerous political landscape in which it was written. Lorca finished the play in June 1936, two months before he was murdered during the first days of the Spanish Civil War. As we record this episode a new adaptation of the play is on stage at the National Theatre in London. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to explore this inescapably powerful play, and its author, with an expert on both, Professor Maria Delgado.

Marcel Dzama has an immediately recognizable style as a visual artist, but his energy has far exceeded the realm of visual art. Born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1974, Dzama got his start with the Royal Art Lodge, a group of students at the University of Manitoba who banded together in the mid-1990s. Their collaborative working method, where one artist would start a work and others finish it, recalled the "Exquisite Corpse," a parlor game associated with the Surrealists. As Dzama developed his own independent practice, moving to New York in 2004, he continued to explore the surreal in watercolor and ink. His work is replete with dancers and masked figures, whimsical animals, groovy monsters, human-plant hybrids, and grinning moons, all in an intricate but deliberately naive style. Dzama has permuted these offbeat interests into a variety of other media as well, from zines to dioramas to films. He's done album art for They Might Be Giants and Beck, made films starring Kim Gordon and Amy Sedaris, and created costumes for both a Bob Dylan music video and the New York City Ballet. Now, he's expanding his list of collaborations even further. New York's performance art biennial, PERFORMA, is returning, with a roster of artists commissioned to do new work in experimental performance of various types. Marcel Dzama's piece, titled To live on the Moon (For Lorca), is among the highlights promised by the 2023 program. In it, the artist fuses multiple threads of his practice, blending costume, dance, drawing, and film. And he also returns to his surrealist inspirations. Specifically, this work is Dzama's tribute to the life and work of Spanish Surrealist poet Federico Garcia Lorca. It incorporates both Lorca's tragic life story and an obscure, unproduced, Surrealist screenplay called A Trip to the Moon, which Lorca wrote while he was living in New York in 1929. It's fascinating material to dig into on many levels. Ahead of the opening of his show at the Abrons Art Center, Dzama came into the Art Angle studio to talk with critic Ben Davis about his work and interests, the impact of Federico Garcia Lorca, and about what surrealism does and doesn't mean today. "Marcel Dzama: To live on the Moon (For Lorca)" is on view at the Abrons Art Center from November 11–14, 2023.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007), interviewed by Richard Wolinsky in February 1983, recorded in a car in the Santa Cruz mountains during a rainstorm. Digitized, remastered and edited in May, 2023. Robert Anton Wilson had a remarkable career. Starting as a writer of comic science fiction based on historical stories of conspiracy, his work soon turned in the direction of physics, psychology, and futurism, and described himself as an agnostic mystic. In the religion or philosophy known as discordianism, he is considered both pope and saint. A journalist in his early career, he co-edited the Playboy Magazine forum, and covered the work of both Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, later known as Ram Dass. Most of his best known works were written in the 1970s and 1980s, though he continued to write non-fiction into the 21st century. These include The Illuminati Trilogy, co-written with Robert Shea, The Schrodinger's Cat and Cosmic Trigger trilogies, and Prometheus Rising. His early works were published by large commercial presses; his later by small presses. Most, of not all, of his books still remain in print. The three books mentioned toward the end of the interview were all published and are all available. Complete 32-minute interview. Bookwaves Fay Weldon (1931-2023) who died on January 4th, 2023 at the age of 91, published 31 novels during her lifetime, including The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, one of four novels which later became films. She was also a playwright, short story writer, television writer and non-fiction author. Richard A. Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky interviewed her twice in the KPFA studios. This second interview was recorded on January 21, 1992 while she was on tour for two novels, Darcy's Utopia and Life Force Fay Weldon's career continued for the next thirty years after the interview with several novels, including a sequel to She-Devil, more plays, more short stories and several works of non-fiction. This interview was digitized, remastered, and edited in June, 2023 by Richard Wolinsky. First time on the air in over thirty years. Complete 34-minute Interview.

Federico Garcia Lorca war in den 1930er Jahren der berühmteste spanischsprachige Autor Europas, ein Linker, der Francos Faschisten unbedingt verhindern wollte. 1936 wird er ermordet, sein Leichnam verscharrt. Francis Poulencs widmet ihm seine Geigensonate, deren Uraufführung ein Akt von résistance war. Tianwa Yang und Nicholas Rimmer nehmen sich Poulencs Violinsonate vor.
Synopsis As the season begins, we offer you this “Autumn Music” — a woodwind quintet by American composer Jennifer Higdon. Higdon says she wanted to write a companion piece to another famous woodwind quintet titled “Summer Music” by Samuel Barber. Higdon's “Autumn Music” was commissioned by Pi Kappa Lambda, the national music honorary society, and premiered at their 1994 national convention in Pittsburgh. “Autumn Music,” says Higdon, “is a sonic picture of the season of brilliant colors. The music of the first part represents the explosion of leaves and the crispness of the air of fall. As the music progresses, it becomes more spare and introspective, moving into a more melancholy and resigned feeling.” Jennifer Higdon was born in Brooklyn in 1962, and teaches at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Her chamber and orchestral pieces have been performed by ensembles coast to coast. She's also active as a performer and, as she explains, as an enthusiastic member of the audience: “I love exploring new works — my own pieces and the music of others — in a general audience setting, just to feel a communal reaction to new sounds. Music speaks to all age levels and all kinds of experiences in our lives. I think it can express anything and everything.” Music Played in Today's Program Jennifer Higdon (b. 1962): Autumn Music –Moran Woodwind Quintet (Crystal 754) On This Day Births 1875 - Lithuanian composer Mikolajus Ciurlionis, in Varena (then the Kaunas province of the Russian Empire; Julian date: Sept. 10); 1933 - Spanish composer Leonardo Balada, in Barcelona; 1961 - American composer Michael Torke, in Milwaukee, Wisc.; Deaths 1989 - American song composer Irving Berlin, age 101, in New York City; Premieres 1869 - Wagner: opera, "Das Rheingold," in Munich at the Hoftheater, Franz Wüllner conducting; The opera was performed at the Bavarian emperor Ludwig II's request, but against the composer's wishes; 1938 - Webern: String Quartet, Op. 28, at South Mountain, Pittsfield, Mass., during the Berkshire Chamber Music Festival; This work was commissioned for $750 by the American music patron, Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge; 1964 - Jerry Bock: musical "Fiddler On the Roof" opens on Broadway: It would run for 3,242 performances before closing; 1971 - Barber: "The Lovers" for solo voice and chorus (after a poem by Pablo Neruda), in Philadelphia; 1989 - Bernstein: "Arias and Barcarolles" (orchestrated version prepared by Bright Sheng), at the Tilles Center of Long Island University with the New York Chamber Symphony conducted by Gerard Schwarz and featuring vocalists Susan Graham and Kurt Ollmann; The first version of this work, for soloists and piano four-hands, premiered on May 9, 1988, at Equitable Center Auditorium in New York City; 1990 - James MacMillan: "The Beserking" (Piano Concerto), at Henry Wood Hall in Glasgow by pianist Peter Donohoue and the Royal Scottish Orchestra, Matthias Bamert conducting; 1990 - Christopher Rouse: "Jagannath" for orchestra, by the Houston Symphony Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach conducting; 2000 - Philip Glass: “Tirol Concerto” for piano and orchestra, by Dennis Russell Davies (piano and conductor) with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, at the 7th annual Klangspuren Festival in Schwaz, Tirol (Austria); 2000 - Zwilich: "Millennium Fantasy" for piano and orchestra, by the Cincinnati Symphony, Jesús Lopez-Cobos conducting with soloist Jeffrey Biegel; Others 1937 - During the Spanish Civil War, Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas conducts his 1935 composition “Homage to Federico Garcia Lorca” in Madrid while the city was under siege by Spanish fascist forces; The Spanish poet Lorca had been killed by the Falangists; Links and Resources On Jennifer Higdon On Barber's "Summer Music"

Film director/screenwriter Justin Trefgarne talks about Dylan, but also about fathers, sons, archetypes and coincidence. “Bob has been the guardian angel and surrogate father for my entire adult existence,” he tells us. From his first encounter with Like A Rolling Stone (which he played for five hours straight), “everything was up for grabs”. Hear how young Justin paid off a bouncer in Seattle to get seats to his first Dylan concert. How he won a Dylan soundalike contest in Las Vegas. And that time he and Bob had a close encounter in the doorway of the Grateful Dead Tattoo Parlour on Venice Beach.For the first time on this podcast, we tackle Robert Bly (author of Iron John), Joseph Campbell (author of The Hero's Journey) and Federico Garcia Lorca's concept of duende. Oh and - Justin's pilot father flew three of the Beatles to see Dylan perform at the Isle of Wight Festival (probably).Justin's debut feature film as writer-director was the 2015 sci-fi thriller NARCOPOLIS, starring Jonathan Pryce (with a cameo from Kerry Shale). The film spawned a successful graphic novel spin-off. He was head writer on the Nickelodeon reboot of children's classic PETER RABBIT, for which he was nominated for an Emmy.

Film director/screenwriter Justin Trefgarne talks about Dylan, but also about fathers, sons, archetypes and coincidence. “Bob has been the guardian angel and surrogate father for my entire adult existence,” he tells us. From his first encounter with Like A Rolling Stone (which he played for five hours straight), “everything was up for grabs”. Hear how young Justin paid off a bouncer in Seattle to get seats to his first Dylan concert. How he won a Dylan soundalike contest in Las Vegas. And that time he and Bob had a close encounter in the doorway of the Grateful Dead Tattoo Parlour on Venice Beach.For the first time on this podcast, we tackle Robert Bly (author of Iron John), Joseph Campbell (author of The Hero's Journey) and Federico Garcia Lorca's concept of duende. Oh and - Justin's pilot father flew three of the Beatles to see Dylan perform at the Isle of Wight Festival (probably).Justin's debut feature film as writer-director was the 2015 sci-fi thriller NARCOPOLIS, starring Jonathan Pryce (with a cameo from Kerry Shale). The film spawned a successful graphic novel spin-off. He was head writer on the Nickelodeon reboot of children's classic PETER RABBIT, for which he was nominated for an Emmy.

I'm Tammi, and with me is of course Olivia... OLIVIA Hello everyone! TAMMI So excited to take over again! OLIVIA (laughs) I'm glad you are! I couldn't do this on top of everything else. TAMMI Happy to. So, a lot has been happening in the voicemails lately. OLIVIA Oh yes. TAMMI How do you feel about it all? OLIVIA I feel... relieved that I am not trying to keep so many secrets anymore. (beat) And awful about Kat's miscarriage, of course. TAMMI Yes. Did you know that would happen? OLIVIA No! I mean, I knew she doesn't have a kid my age, but I knew nothing about the miscarriage. Not really the sort of thing she would talk to a child about, I suppose. And by the time I was grown up, it was so long ago. TAMMI But that means you knew something would happen. OLIVIA I did. And I was waiting for it – dreading it. But I couldn't know when it would happen. And of course I *did* think she could have had a child and then put them up for adoption, too. TAMMI Oh... Didn't think of that. So you were surprised when Kat announced she was pregnant in the voicemails? OLIVIA More like shocked. I was waiting for my mama – Rachel – to start talking about being pregnant, and sort of mentally preparing for telling the listeners, and then all of a sudden Kat is pregnant instead. TAMMI I can imagine. So, you call Rachel your mama- OLIVIA And Jess my mum, yeah. I don't know if my parents planned that or if it just happened, but it's handy for keeping them straight. TAMMI (raucous laughter) Straight? OLIVIA (joins in the laughter) Oh dear. *That* came out wrong. TAMMI (still laughing) Came out? OLIVIA (laughs again) Stop it! TAMMI (laughter winding down) OK. Fine. Where were we? OLIVIA (still a little giggly) I don't know. TAMMI (slight laughter left) Guess it's my job to... take over and check what we are supposed to be talking about... (paper rustling, deep breath) Right. Yes. We talked about this last episode, you found something special for us to include today, right Olivia? OLIVIA I did! In a different folder of my mum's old computer I found some recordings of Kat and Jess from drama school. They start off serious but it's a rehearsal so I think there's some silly stuff too. TAMMI Fun! What are they rehearsing? OLIVIA A play called House of Bernarda Alba by a Spanish playwright (paper rustles) Federico Garcia Lorca. I'd never heard of it – googled and it seems to be a pretty depressing story about a group of sisters in 1930's Spain. But it's all women which is pretty cool. TAMMI Yeah – that must be unusual for the time. All right, let's listen! Scene B2:2 (click, dramatic music?) DIRECTOR (claps hands twice) Right, everyone, we're doing the scene with Amelia and Martirio, everyone else can take 30, you lucky bastards. (sound of group of actors leaving, low chatting (all female), doors closing) Right. So where are you when this scene begins? KAT Um... (script rustles) I'm at the table, doing some mending. JESS Me too. DIRECTOR All right, all right, good. Places. (sound of movement, wooden chairs, sitting down) Whenever you're ready, you can... start. KAT (as AMELIA) (sighs) I no longer know if it's better to have a fiancé or not. JESS (as MARTIRIO) It makes no difference. KAT (as AMELIA) It's all the gossip that's to blame, they won't let you live. Adelaida must have had a bad time of it. JESS (as MARTIRIO) (uncertain) They're afraid of mother. She's the only one who knows the truth about Adelaida's father and how he got his land. Whenever she comes here, mother sticks the knife in. Her father killed his first wife's husband, in Cuba, to marry- DIRECTOR Right. Thank you. All right. Um. You know. It sounds like you're reading a grocery list, Jess, and it's not a good one, y'know? ‘S... just full of oranges. Just... C'mon! JESS (frustrated sound) All right. DIRECTOR This is one of those lines that you have to (makes grunting noise), you have to (makes grunting noise), yes, you see? You have to inject some interest into it, because it's all exposition. Right? You got that? JESS (scribbles on script) Right. DIRECTOR And you know it's a, it's a dramatic story, it's not a... you know, it's not a introverts festival- It's just... Look, do we have a hat anywhere? (rummages around) Do we have a hat? Do we have a hat somewhere? Yes! Here! (throws it at JESS, she catches it) Right. OK. So- Put that on. Right. Now do the scene from the top, but stand over here. Kat, your job, right, if you're willing to accept it, is to grab the hat. KAT (smiles) OK. DIRECTOR Right. And Jess, right, you, you cannot let her grab it. JESS (smiles) Got it. DIRECTOR Whenever you're ready. (sound of tussle and slight giggles, also scripts being waved around, throughout scene, BOTH much quicker and more energetic) KAT (as AMELIA) I no longer know if it's better to have a fiancé or not. JESS (as MARTIRIO) It makes no difference. KAT (as AMELIA) It's all the gossip that's to blame, they won't let you live. Adelaida must have had a bad time of it. JESS (as MARTIRIO) They're afraid of mother. She's the only one who knows the truth about Adelaida's father and how he got his land. Whenever she comes here, mother sticks the knife in. Her father killed his first wife's husband, in Cuba, to marry the wife. Then he abandoned her here, and went off with another woman who had a daughter, and *then* had an affair with the daughter, Adelaida's mother, and married *her* when the second wife died insane. DIRECTOR Thank you! Better. Right. Jess, Jess, Jess, Jess, come here, come here, could you feel the difference, yes? JESS Yes! DIRECTOR Yes, good. Good, good, good. Right. Now you need to keep that energy, both of you, OK, but now get into the emotions of the scenes, right. Now, can't have you sitting down. Um... (script pages rustling) Jess, you stand up, right, and you go down stage left on “It makes no difference”. OK, do that. JESS Yep. (scribbles on script) DIRECTOR OK, good. Aah, and Kat, um, can you follow her on “It's all the gossip...” so you end up here. (sounds of moving around) Like this. OK? No... That's right, good. More hip. Good, lovely. KAT OK. (scribbles on script) DIRECTOR Take it from “And why is the wretch...”, Kat. KAT Where? (script pages rustling) Oh. OK. DIRECTOR Whenever you're ready. (pause) OK, come on. Whenever you're ready. KAT (as AMELIA) And why is that wretch not in jail? JESS (as MARTIRIO) Because men cover up things like that among themselves, and no one's willing to speak out. KAT (as AMELIA) But Adelaida's not to blame for all that. JESS (as MARTIRIO) No, but stories are repeated. And to me it all seems one dreadful repetition. Her fate is the same as her mother's and her grandmother's, both wives of the man who engendered her. (stops) Wait, “engendered”? (beat) Oh, gross! Three generations of women forced into incest. (sound of disgust from KAT) DIRECTOR Yes! Yes, exactly. Save your disgust for Martirio, OK? From, c'mon let's go from “Her fate is...” JESS Sorry. (clears throat) Her fate is the same as her mother's and her grandmother's, both wives of the man who engendered her. KAT (as AMELIA) What a terrible thing! JESS (as MARTIRIO) It's better never to see a man. Since childhood they make me afraid. I'd see them in the yard yoking the oxen and lifting the sacks of wheat, shouting and stamping, and I was always afraid of growing up and suddenly finding myself in their arms. God has made me weak and ugly and has kept them away from me. KAT (as AMELIA) Don't say such things! Enrique Humanes was after you and he liked you. JESS (as MARTIRIO) People invent things! Once I stood by the window in my nightgown till dawn, because his farmhand's daughter told me he was going to stop by, but he never came. It was all talk. Then he married another girl with more money than I. KAT (as AMELIA) And she, as ugly as the devil! JESS (as MARTIRIO) What does beauty matter to them? What matters are land, oxen, and a submissive bitch to fetch them their food. KAT (as AMELIA) Ay! DIRECTOR Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you- Lovely. Right. Hm... (script pages rustling) JESS (laughs, to KAT) I love Amelia - “Ay”! KAT (laughs, to JESS) Yes! And Martirio – “submissive bitch”. JESS Yeah – you think I'm typecast? “Better never to see a man”? KAT (smiles) Probably. Hang on. You feeling “ugly and weak”? JESS (laughs) Well... DIRECTOR All right, OK, from the top. Kat, I want you to really think about Amelia's objective here – OK, what does she want? Right, and Jess, a little... (fades out) (dramatic music?, click) Scene B2:3 TAMMI That was fun! OLIVIA Yes! Though seems like an awful story. TAMMI It does. Though – in that horrible line about the father killing the wives and marrying the daughters... I've been listening to this podcast called My Dad Wrote a Porno lately – have you heard it? OLIVIA Yes – it's huge – millions of listeners. TAMMI And SO funny! OLIVIA Mm. Not quite my cup of tea, but sure. TAMMI I love it. Anyway, I kept hearing that line read as part of the confusing narrative of Belinda Blinked – “Her father killed his first wife in Cuba and married the daughter and abandoned her and then his second wives first cousin's uncle...” (BOTH laugh) OLIVIA Not *quite* as much sex in this play, though. TAMMI No. At least not in the scene we heard! OLIVIA True! TAMMI All right, better wrap this up. Anything you want to say before we go? OLIVIA Thank you, Patreon supporters, again and always. You support means so much. TAMMI Yes. Thank you! I will take over again in about three months! Bye! OLIVIA Bye! (OUTRO) (BLOOPERS) (OUTRO MUSIC)
