Matěj RANDÁR

editor in chief

Dear readers,They say that ‘where the devil can’t go he sends a woman’. Most people have no idea that this saying developed as an alternation of even more truthful one – ‘where the devil can’t go he sends a printer’. As much as Richard III did not exclaimed ‘My kingdom for a horse!’, but of course everyone knows that. I’m considering that after the end of Encounter I’ll discontinue my studies at JAMU, learn how to fix printers and bring peace to the souls of its users.

Enough with the whining. The festival has made its official start, the first productions have been performed, the first Encounter night is success-fully behind us. Or more specifically behind you (the editorial teamhails, but does not envy!). It was very lively in front of the faculty, under our win-dows. The heat drove pale students out from Dali-bar, where they could meet arriving ensembles. Encounter is happening, everything is going well.Just like yesterday , I will not spare some of you a personal contrast that is (apparently) not to the point.

I smoke one packet of cigarettes a day. Twenty cigarettes a day. If I take away one each week, that makes nineteen in one week, eighteen in two weeks, in three seventeen cigarettes and so on. If I can keep it up, I could stop smoking in five months. Isn’t that fast? What if I get nervous and cannot stick to the plan? Hmm. That did not occur to me...I won’t bother with that. I’ll cut back and will not count precise numbers.

I run three kilometres a day. Twenty circles in a park. If I add one kilometre each week I will run six next week, in two seven and so on. If I can keep up I could run a half marathon in about five mon-ths. But isn’t that too fast? What if I fell sick or couldn‘t keep up with the plan? That did not occur to me...I won’t bother with that. I’ll just stretch it out and will not count it pedantically.

And so.I wish you a pleasant day.

A Profitable Position

length: 150 minlanguage: Slovakdirector: Lukáš Brutovskýscript editor: Miro Dachoset: Zuzana Hudákovácostumes: Laura Štorcelová, Veronika Ďurišoválights and sound: Jozef Miklós, Michal Čamajproduction: Adriána Balázsová, Veronika Poláková

cast:

It Is Your Conscience as WellNikola Boková

The entrances alone are already indicative of the nature of the various characters, which reflect the Russian society of the 1960s. The corrupt mil-lionaire Vishnevsky bows dramatically with the knowledge of his own importance. His wife Anna shuns him, but accepts his money. The head of the office, Yusov, fawns over his superior and looks down on the office clerk, Belogubov, who can do nothing but kowtow to his superiors and hope for a better post. Finally, the protagonist, Zha-dov, enters. His being last in the line of characters mirrors his position in society. He is scorned by all, since he tries to uphold his ideals of incorruptibi-lity and justice. He proudly refuses a post offered by his uncle Vishnevsky and marries young Polina.

He fantasizes that they will live lovingly together and earn a living by honest work. His wife, however, has different ideas about married life. She wants to be rich, beautifully dressed and she

refuses to work. Zhadov, who wants to save his marriage, succumbs to the pressure from his wife and goes to ask his uncle for a profitable, albeit dishonest, job. He finds out, however, that his uncle

is being investigated for fraud. His faith in his ideals returns, as does his belief that society can yet be rectified. A Profitable Position not only lays bare the topicality and gravity of the issue of corruption, but, using satire and the power of pure despair, it highlights the conspicuous nature thereof. The audience is forced to think about the words spoken on the stage. They also realize their own individual relationship to money. The creators show that even by clothes alone we judge the financial means of others, and we are rarely wrong. Even though the costumes are black and white and very simple, we can easily tell who is who just by the type and glitter of their shoes. Overall the set is very sim-ple. There is nothing but chairs, a number of micro-phones and two pianos. The audience nevertheless knows exactly in what environment they find themselves at any given moment, thanks to the very original reading out of the stage directions. The microphones are used to accentuate key ideas of the text. To immerse the viewer in the story, the creators use singing and live piano music, embe-llishing the atmosphere with occasional snippets of Russian as well. As a result, the performance comes across as truly impressive and particularly topical.

It Is Your Conscience as WellPatrik Boušek

Space, time and money in particu-lar played the main role without obscu-ring the theatrical performances of individual actors.The director Lukáš Brutovský and the dramaturge Miro Dacho selected very wisely a text which offered the central theme itself and this theme was very accurately accentuated and brought up to date.Neither the burden of props, nor verbal explicitness

was necessary. On the contrary, means of expre-ssion were often lacking (in those parts where the stage directions were being read). However, their exaggeration in other instances added new levels to the text, which probably do not exist in the origi-nal (for example when Belogugov wooed Julinka).The handling of the scene and timing was very pre-cise, which was manifested in escalating the gags on the one hand and in individual interactions on the other. With the exception of the occasional mild mis-step, the interactions were extremely accu-rate and thanks to this fluency the performance did not lose speed where it was not supposed to.The cogged wheels of this accurate machine in the form of a two-hour long play were hindered only in the moments when the technical aspects of the performance (microphones used especially to emphasize certain key phrases and words) failed. Every time the microphone broke down, it created an impression of a hammer smashing a whole into a carefully designed construction plan. Fortunately, the theatrical performances (namely that of Daniel Fischer in the role of Žadov, whose naïveté and determination were totally credible) managed to compensate for these minor defects and the audience could still enjoy an impressive and directorially very neat play.

Brutovský or The Brutal Fight for Honour

Matěj Nyrta

Could the very first performance of the festival be a candidate for awards? The rendition of the long forgotten text A Profitable Position by Russian great A. N. Ostrovsky performed by The Academy of Performing Arts Bratislava leaves no doubt about its qualities. Persuasive punch lines, reso-nating theme and the undercurrent of moralizing satire that we all fear so much, and if we don’t – we should! Honestly, who isn´t sometimes tempted by the path of selfish opportunism and feels more like the unrepentant victim of his (and our) time, Vasilij Žadov? If there is someone, please, walk on the stage and drown out the voices of the decep-tively innocent song getting louder. Bang! Bang…!

The script is perfectly and energetically brought to life. It benefits from the playful, precise and bold direction of the rising star of the Slovak theatre, director Lukáš Brutovský, who was justly nomina-

ted for the Dosky, annual Slovak Theatre awards, for this performance. His both alienating and highly dramatic style is overflowing with unexpec-ted peculiarities and varied solutions, it works with precise timing, all while remaining in the relaxingly minimalistic settings.

Brutovský’s style is free of any alluring decorati-veness of the drama (the stage directions are only spoken, provided by the character of the servant, who acts as a guide throughout the play.). The bri-ght stage is occupied only by two pianos, plus ele-ven chairs that are used by the protagonists and sometimes hurled away in fascinating choreogra-phies. The view and the genre of respective scenes transforms with incredible ease from the psycho-logically charged drama to the hints of irony and even farce. Gradation and capsule moments are provided by musical and dance numbers.

This play is a fine example of impressive, effective and extraordinarily pure theatre.

review

Opening ceremony

The Opening Ceremonial of the 23rd year of the SETKÁNÍ/Encounter festival took place at the musical-dramatic laboratory at Jamu in Orlí. The whole program was started by students of drama acting who embodied single characters from pro-ductions of every visiting ensemble. This entrée, performed in shadow play, was so impressive I forgot to take notes for this article.

The Presenter then introduced, in both the Czech and English languages , all the performing ensem-bles, schools and the judges of the production, who will award the Marta prize at the end of the festival in various categories – directing, actor performance, scenic music etc. The main theme of this year’s festival is contrasts – whether it be contrasts of individual productions, countries the ensembles are from, contrasts of people and their perception, not only regarding the theatre.

The chancellor of JAMU, prof. Ing. MgA. Ivo Medek, PhD., was the first to speak and reminded us of our school years, while talking about a different level of contrasts. These are mathematical and physical contrasts, such as the plus and the minus and also opposite polarity. These types of contrasts usually don’t cross the artist’s mind.

Coordinator of the festival Tereza Koudelová wel-comed everyone and thanked her colleagues, with whom she has been preparing the festival for a whole year. According to her, she spent many days and nights putting together the festival. This work is evident at the festival, as I can judge from the first day of Encounter and the publicity preceding the festival.

Encounter is about chances to meet various peo-ple, encountering of different environments, dra-wing of inspiration and creativity, and it is a place for experiments, as the dean of the faculty of the-atre of the JAMU, doc. MgA. Zbyněk Srba, PhD., stated himself in his welcoming speech.

The leader of the festival, prof. Petr Oslzlý, took a creative approach by introducing every ensemble in their native language. The only exception was China, where he opted for English. But we can’t blame him for that. At the same time he introdu-ced three new ensembles, who join the festival for the first time; those areKazakhstan, Mexico and China (which I already mentioned).

All the JAMU actors came on stage at the end of the programme and welcomed everyone in the language of every character. The festival has star-ted and five days of encounters and contrasts may begin.

Pisum Sativum

length: 50 min

director: Karine Pontieschoreography: Karine Pontiessound: David Monceauproduction: France Morin, Martin Novotný, Monika Bársonyoválights: Guillaume Fromentin, Zuzana Režná

cast:

Pisum Sativum is presented as a celebration of absurd metamorphosis. I must admit that, at first, I was hesitant as to how to imagine what some-thing like that should look like. Ten minutes into the play and the whole mystery is clear to me. Three clusters of human bodies intertwine in elaborate and uniform creations. It may seem tedious but it is very important to the rest of the story. There is a classic story being played out in front of our eyes, and this story disrupts the social status quo. Pisum Sativum is, in fact, a game of Eeny, meeny, miny, mo , however this time, there are no words and there is a lot of choreographically and physica-lly demanding performances. The advantage and, simultaneously, the disadvatage of similar avant--garde pieces is the fact that everybody will find in them whatever they like. Some will be captivated by the idea that they reflect into it, while others will be disappointed by the apparent transparency of the plot. Personally, I belong to the latter group of people. This might seem to be a triviality, a one--time hit, which will catch one’s attention only by the unique cast of young actors and actresses. Without their wonderful enthusiasm, this would be a tale of how the revolution devours its children that one forgets the moment one walks out of the door.

coverage

Pub Night

Wee small hours of the morning. Euphoria over winning the table-football tournament. Yay, we beat the Bulgarians! And the rest as well…the big finale…the suspense is killing us! And the Poles lost! Oh, have the Slovakians left already? They-’re missing the best part; the Urband’s concert is brilliant!

“Will you get me a beer, madam?”

“Of course I will. But in return, you must play the Ach, neviníte song for me!”

“Err…what’s that?”

“It’s one of your songs!”

“Oh, well, we don’t know that one.”

Okay, it seems that the fans know the playlist better than the band itself, but apart from that, everything is perfect. If there had been at least three microphones instead of just one, the whole event would have been close to an eargasm.

“Are you writing a report from the party? That’s awesome! What are you going to write? Write about me!”

So, I am writing. Do you recognize yourself? We are dancing, me, you, they… Everybody is dan-cing, regardless of nationality or age; let’s enjoy Russian, German and English lyrics! Whatever you wish; if the band knows your song, a beer is enough to make it happen.

A wonderful evening with a loud, but regal atmo-sphere!

Did you miss it? You should cry, examine your con-science, and grieve because you should have been here, even though there are plenty of things to come!

Contrasts(Theatrical sketch for two)

- We really need to sit down and talk about us…

- I’ll be standing.

- No, sit down. If you stand you’ll be looking down on me and you’ll always have the upper hand…

- That’s the point.

- See what you’re like?

- I do.

- Alright, as you wish, stand. I will stand too. So. Do you want to begin?

- No, you begin, I will finish after.

- Why are you sitting down? Now I’ll have the upper hand! As you wish, keep sitting… There. First of all, after one year it’s obvious to me, blatantly even, that the two of us are so different from each other that it makes me ask myself whether there’s any point.

- Different?

- Yes, but you only take care of the hop patch. You only ever hoe there. On the top of it, last time you trampled my hydrangeas. And the rhododendron that you always pissed on has withered.

- Wait. I like the garden too a little.

- Yes, but you only take care of the hop patch. You only ever hoe there. On the top of it, last time you trampled my hydrangeas. And the rhododendron that you always pissed on has withered.

- So what? It hasn’t blossomed in a while anyway.

- Because it’s January! It blossoms in May! But that doesn’t matter now. There are other things too…

- Well, go on! What things?

- The way we dress! You just wear shell suits, brogans and T-shirts stretched out of shape! I’m interested in the latest fashion, I always have beautiful dresses, try on new blouses; I even have a jacket… That’s a sharp contrast whenever we go anywhere together.

- Screw fashion. It’s full of fags!

- Yes, of course. But if you would just put on a shirt every once in a while…

- I did! On old Činžiak’s wedding!

- Yeah, and you tore it to pieces when you started playing rugby with the wedding cake!

- Hahahahaha!

- You find it funny!

- I totally forgot about that already, that was great. I have to see that again on the VCR.

- See, that’s another thing! Things that I don’t find funny at all, you find hilarious. And when I laugh at something during a movie or a show, you look at me wondering what’s there to laugh at… Do you understand? We laugh at completely different things! It’s terrible!

- I know something else that makes us different!

- And what is that?

- I don’t cook at all, but your cooking is terrible! That’s the contrast!

- What?! You gobble it up anyway! You even lick the plates clean!

- Well, I don’t have a choice, do I?

- So my cooking’s terrible! Let me tell you some-thing! You smell like dung! I wash daily, subtly per-fume myself, and you’re constantly sweaty and stinky!

- You didn’t mind up till now!

- I always did, do and will mind!

- So we’re different in this too…

- In what “this”?!

- That you mind the way I stink, and I don’t mind the way you stink! I respect all those little cheap perfumes of yours! You don’t! That’s the contrast!

- You’re really a… I don’t even want to say what…

- Come on, say it!

- This is probably the biggest difference between you and me…

- What?

- That…

- What?!

-That you are an illiterate asshole, who doesn’t know how to dress, stares at his stupid football, stinks like a skunk and knows nothing!

- Now you’ve gone too far! (he strangles her, she screams until she dies) There… See?! I live and you don’t! That’s the contrast!

Rapidly and Cheaply

When all big corporations realize that every place they set foot in has a decently high standard of living and it’s not to their advantage to branch out and bloodsuck there anymore, they’ll transfer their activities to the Moon. Considering the fact that their travel costs will shoot up (not to men-tion colonization), they’ll have to invade Mars in order to guarantee themselves an adequate work-force. The latter won’t even mind the uncomforta-ble working conditions and environment. One-sixth gravity, lack of air, relatively high pollen count in dust form and zero pay won’t be a problem on the Moon. It’s thus possible to save on so many trifles such as air ventilation and public transport (after all, the spoils of war are something like a gift of love). However, the whole project is quite funda-mentally threatened by the mere question of the existence of life on Mars. Nevertheless, evidence is cropping up indicating that life on Mars is being kept hidden. It’s imperative to take action before it evolves. The better and cheaper project for surface take-over wins. Mars is a quiet place and wolves (and peace activists) prefer howling at the Moon.

It’s peace activists (and wolves) who howl at the Moon the most often, and therefore we want it to be a quiet place, like (for example) Mars. Logica-lly, the winner was the cheapest project, which, however, has to be implemented before any spies on the Red Planet find out about it. If that happe-ned, Mars could endanger our pure existence and sovereignty. Therefore we forbid transpic publort and wars in the name of love, since we have to save on everything, because no one knows what triviality may fall prey to their curiosity. On Mars, they consider zero pay, dustiness and minimal gravity to be huge problems. They envy us our environment and comfortable working conditions, and that bothers us sometimes. With an adequate workforce, we can invade Earth in order to colo-nize it and thus ease the transport costs. When all big corporations realize that there’s nowhere left to drain and branch out into, they should consider the Czech Republic, where the standard of living is low and life is cheap.
