Dues visions del fet cinematogràfic: Juan Gil-Albert i Francisco Ayala
Article
Estudis escènics: quaderns de l'Institut del Teatre. 1984, Núm. 25
Open Access
<p>In the year 1955 the writer Juan Gil-Albert published a brief text entitled Contra el cine in which, as a mature man and author, he approaches the subject of cinematography. Francisco Ayala had already written on the theme in a series of articles published in 1929. In Ayala's texts the confrontation of the young and the adult reveals divergent perspectives in relation to a common centre of interest.</p>
<p>Ayala and Gil-Albert share only the subject to be realt with and both of them, despite the fact that they were born in the same year (1906), differ as to the mood of the work published as well as in their points of view, approaches and conclusions. It is precisely in the approach to the same subject that the difference between the two writers is evident. While Ayala appears as a lover of cinema, an enthusiastic fan of the movie theatre show since his childhood, Gil-Albert rebels against the passive condition of the spectator.</p>...

<p>This article is a compilation of the conclusions of a seminar where the contents of the direction notebook which Stanislavsky wrote up in Nice in 1929 were analysed in order to direct the group Art's Theatre of Moscow in its play Othello by Shakespeare. After the issue of the notebook' s French edition (Mise en Scene d'Othello. Éditions du Seuil. Paris, 1973), the seminar tried to take out from it the most interesting aspects related to the theatre. Thanks to the accurate instructions given by the master to his group Art's Treatre, the seminar was able to dissect the essential and constant elements of Stanislavsky's work from the text by Shakespeare. The first part of that article, entitled “Directing actors is a dramatic art”, explains the formal keys of the notebook and analyses its dramatic deal, the criterion followed to omit certain parts of the original text, the scenographic conception and the way to deal with the characters. That analysis reveals Stanislavsky's way of adapting Shakespeare to his method of directing actors, which, in short, is equivalent to bringing tragedy to the drama's field. The second part, entitled “Advices given by the master”, emphasizes sorne fragments of the direction notebook of Othello, which can be considered excellent and practical lessons in the field of the self-control of the actor's energy in the performance.</p>...
El risc d'investigar

<p>This is an interview with the self-taught dancer and choreographer Cesc Gelabert. While we accompany him through his choreographies he shows us the loneliness of a long distance runner, the discoveries during the long process of creation, the collaborations and encounters with other people.</p>
<p>It is a continuous voyage in the present and the past, from his first casual contact with the world of dance (1969) to the premiere of Alhambra (1983); from the moment when, for the first time, he found himself dancing alone in front of an empty auditorium until the moment when, also for the first time, he danced with another star, Lydia Azzopardi; from his search for reference points, looking around in a thousand and one courses in Catalonia and abroad which he paid for with money saved up during a whole year's word, until the time when he taught his discoveries at La Fábrica-Espai de Dansa. We go through the period of his «youth», of learning to walk, of collaborations with other performers, such as Frederic Amat, Lewis Richter, Rafael Subirachs: Acció-0, Acció-1 (Action-0, Action-1); of solitude, of running away to New York Mi viejo traje de pana (My Old Corduroy Suit), where he met Carles Santos (Cesc Gelabert & Dancers) and Perico Pastor; the return, two years later, to «motionless» Barcelona; loneliness again plata i Or (Silver and Gold); the chance meeting with Lydia Azzopardi, Danzas para interiores (Dances for Interiors); the reencounter with Carles Santos, Concert per a veu, piano i dansa (Concert for Voice, Piano and Dance); the beginning of an understanding (Alhambra, Five to Two).</p>
<p>The Risk of Investigating is basically a way of understanding life: investigating outside and inside oneself; it is a way of understanding dance: an archive of experiences, a reflection of life; it is an encounter with solitude.</p>...
El teatre de Carme Montoriol i Puig

<p>Carme Montoriol Puig was born in Barcelona in 1893 and died there in 1966. A self-taught woman, she studied music and foreign languages. She acquired a thorough knowledge of French, Italian, German and English. From the latter language, she translated the complete sonnets of Shakespeare into Catalan, which she also handled perfectly, in their correlatively equivalent meter. She also translated plays by Shakespeare: Cymbeline and Twelfth Night of What You Will, both edited by Publicacions La Revista, and works by Pirandello, Barrie and Leona Stravis. In the field of narrative prose, she translated novels by Rudyard Kipling, Osear Wilde and Maurice Baring into Catalan, as well as No pasarán (story of the siege of Madrid) by Upton Sinclair. She wrote and published her own novels, Terese, o la vida amorosa d'una dona (Terese, or Laves of a Worman) and Diumenge de julio[ (Sunday in July). She was also prominent as a lecturer and devoted president of the Lyceum Club.</p>
<p>As a playwright she produced the following works: L'abisme (The Abyss) (1936), L'huracà (The Hurricane) (1935), Avarícia (Greed) (1936) and Tempesta esvaïda (Quelled Storm) (1956). The last of these was an operette with music by J Joaquim Serra. The first three belong to the realm of bourgeois drama. They are realistic works with one foot on the threshold of naturalism. One decognizes the influence of Ibsen, whose works she knew well. The theories of Freud also run through the works, especially L'huracà (The Hurricane). This work was received as scandalous by the society of her day, because it dealt with the theme of son in love with mother/woman. The critics vehemently disagreed, some in favor of her, some against her, but they all had to admit that this work, like the other two, possessed unquestionable literary merit.</p>
<p>In 1939 she went into exile, but soon returned homesick to Catalonia; notwithstanding, her pen, like that of many other writers of her time, remained inactive for the rest of her life.</p>...
