Al-Kindi Ensemble

O Concerto/Dança desta noite foi hipnótico, inebriante os dançarinos derviches dançam rodopiando.

Chegam a estar 45 minutos a rodopiar sobre si sem parar. ( o ultimo tema "transcendance pour marie" foi exemplo disso.

Durante a dança, entram em transe ligando-se aos seus guias espirituais e a Deus.

Há alturas que temos que desviar o olhar, não vamos nos cair em desequilíbrio pela trip visual que nos é dado.

Um concerto para recordar...

aqui fica um exemplo desta magnifica dança :

Biutiful

[Uxbal] has to go through a journey,” Bardem says. “He has to struggle and evolve in himself as a human being, and see the best and the worst of himself—and in him, we see ourselves. If you are not ready to see that, then well you’re not and that’s okay, but… [when I experience a film] I want to see something that explains the complexity of ourselves on screen.”

To prepare for the role, Bardem returned to the acting school he’s been attending for over 20 years. After meeting with his coach, he realized he was going to have to live the pain of his character in order to achieve the emotional veracity demanded by the role. “I didn’t perform in this one,” he confessed. “There was no way to perform it rather than be it.”

Guillermo del Toro has called Bardem’s performance ‘monumental’; Sean Penn said it’s the best thing he’s seen since Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris. ‘When I saw King’s Speech, I thought Colin Firth gave the best performance I’d seen in a couple of years,’ Ben Affleck told me at a party for The Town a couple of weeks ago. ‘Then I saw Biutiful.’ He shook his head. ‘Javier is on another level from the rest of us.’

A lei do silêncio é inútil. Quando algo nos persegue na nossa memória ou na nossa imaginação, as leis do silêncio são inúteis, é como fechar uma porta à chave numa casa em chamas na esperança de nos esquecermos que ela está a arder. Mas fugir do incêndio não o apaga. O silêncio em relação a uma coisa só lhe aumenta o tamanho. Cresce e apodrece em silêncio, torna-se maligno.

Great Expectations

"Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before—more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."

— Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

Bluebird

"There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?"

—

Charles Buskowski, from “Bluebird”

Lately

"I love the silent hour of night,

For blissful dreams may then arise,

Revealing to my charmed sight,

What may not bless my waking eyes."

— Anne Brontë, “Night”
