Here are some nice things @rosamundhodge said about the book when she was beta reading it earlier this year. Get it today, anywhere ebooks are sold!
-
From the demon-infested shadows of an enchanted house, a sorcerer plots the downfall of the crusader kingdom…and his greatest act of vengeance.
Jerusalem, 1186: They call her the White Watcher, the warrior saint guarding the beleaguered kingdom of Jerusalem with her invincible lance. But Marta Bessarion doubts she’s anything special – and all signs warn of a coming disaster.
Now allied with the demon Lilith, the cunning and ruthless Countess Sibylla is poised to seize the throne. In Damascus, Saladin has sworn to conquer the crusader kingdom. And at his side, the sorcerer Khalil plans to take his revenge on the Bessarion family once and for all.
War promises Marta a long-awaited chance to confront Khalil, but in order to defeat him, she must first uncover his darkest secrets…and venture to the heart of his power.

Halloweek was nutso for me so I didn’t post this in a timely manner but!! Here are GWTwober Days 24-28:
Arturas and Dace look out over Lake Viathin, ready for an Adventure
While he may not look it these days, Dusk actually grew up as a street urchin, a Pirate and a thief. He’s grown a lot since then!
A Hero who needs no introduction. We miss you, Norn Mom.
I was excited for the Water prompt since I’ve never drawn Draceadeus, whose creation was inspired by the elder sea dragon from MH:Tri.
Best Spirit? Owl. Always.
I have no idea what happened to Dusk when I drew him (???), and there are issues, but I’m pretty happy overall with how these turned out!

ST. BESSARION THE GREAT, WONDERWORKER OF EGYPT (466)
Tumblr media
Saint Bessarion, Wonderworker of Egypt was an Egyptian. He was baptized while still in his youth, and he led a strict life, striving to preserve the grace given him during Baptism. Seeking to become more closely acquainted with the monastic life, he journeyed to the holy places. He was in Jerusalem, he visited Saint Gerasimus (March 4) in the Jordanian wilderness, he viewed other desert monasteries, and assimilated all the rules of monastic life.
Upon his return, he received monastic tonsure and became a disciple of Saint Isidore of Pelusium (February 4). Saint Bessarion took a vow of silence, and partook of food only once a week. Sometimes he remained without food or drink for forty days. Once, the saint stood motionless for forty days and forty nights without food or sleep, immersed in prayer.
Saint Bessarion received from God the gift of wonderworking. When his disciple was very thirsty, he sweetened bitter water. By his prayer the Lord sent rain upon the earth, and he could cross a river as if on dry land. With a single word he cast out devils, but he did this privately to avoid glory.
His humility was so great that once, when a priest ordered someone from the skete to leave church for having fallen into sin, Bessarion also went with him saying, “I am a sinner, too.” Saint Bessarion slept only while standing or sitting. A large portion of his life was spent under the open sky in prayerful solitude. He peacefully departed to the Lord in his old age.

1 JOHN 2:18-3:10
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised us-eternal life. 26These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
MARK 11:1-11
1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here. 4 So they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing, loosing the colt?" 6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:"Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David That comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" 11 And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Today we celebrate the Holy New Martyr Luke of Mytilene. Saint Luke was born in Adrianople. At six years of age he lost his father, and his mother, unable to handle the difficulties in raising the small Luke, entrusted him to a merchant from Zagora of Peliou, who traveled with him to Russia and Constantinople. Thus Luke was able to visit far awat lands. At a young age, he fought with a Turkish boy, and because of this he was seized by the Turks and forced him to become a muslim. He fled from the house of the Turk where he was staying, and met with his adopted father, who sent him to Smyrna. There near a spiritual father he confessed his passion and with tears in his eyes, he was told to go to the Holy Mountain to flee from further dangers. In the Garden of the Panagia, he met righteous elders, such as Fr. Ananias of St. Anna and Elder Bessarion, who strengthened him in faith and love towards Christ, His desire to cleanse the weight of his sin of denying Christ, caused him to seek a way to leave the Holy Mountain [with the blessing and spiritual preparation of his spiritual father for martyrdom], which occurred when a friend of Elder Bessarion was preparing to leave Mount Athos and head to Tenedo and Mytilene. In Pamphila where the righteous Luke arrived, he came to know the priests at the church of St. Barbara, Frs. Gregory and Parthenios. After fervent supplications and meditation on the martyrdom of St. Theodore, who had been martyred seven years before in Mytilene, St. Luke appeared before Nazer the Aga of Mytilene, and with bravery of soul sought to bear witness as a Christian. He was imprisoned and martyred by hanging on March 23rd 1802. May he intercede for us always + Source: http://full-of-grace-and-truth.blogspot.com/2010/03/st-luke-new-righteous-martyr-of.html?m=1 (at Mitilini, Lesbos Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGzGdUjly7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon of the Mother of God
Commemorated on November 19
The exact origin of the “Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon of the Mother of God is unknown, but the lettering on the Icon indicates that it is very ancient. There is a tradition that the Icon belonged to the holy Patriarch Athanasios III of Constantinople (May 2). This Icon accompanied him in all his travels, and so he brought the Icon to Russia with him in the year 1653. After the repose of Saint Athanasios in 1654, the Icon was brought to the Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, remaining there until October 11,1849, when the Russian Skete of Saint Andrew was founded.
Metropolitan Gregory, who was living alone at Vatopedi, gave the Icon to the newly-founded Skete as a blessing from his monastery. The Icon was kept in the cell of Hieroschema-monk Bessarion (Vavilov), the founder of the Skete. Father Bessarion blessed the brotherhood with the Icon saying, “May this icon bring you joy, and console you in afflictions and sorrows.”
The glorification of the Icon took place in Russia, in 1863, when Hieromonk Paisios arrived in the town of Sloboda (Vyatka Province) from Mount Athos, bringing with him the “Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon of the Mother of God. This image was decorated with rich silver and a gilded riza. Father Paisios placed the Icon in the women’s Monastery of the Nativity of the Lord, in the church of the Nativity.
When Father Paisios was about to return to the Holy Mountain, the eighteen-year-old son of a local priest, Father Vladimir Nevolin, who had been unable to speak for six years, was healed by the Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. Following a Moleben, he touched her lips and began to speak. After this, people began to make pilgrimages to the Icon, and many suffering pilgrims received healing and comfort in their sorrows from the holy Icon in those days.
The holy Icon was transferred to the women’s Monastery of the Transfiguration in the city of Vyatka with great reverence. At Slobodsky, an exact list of the Icon’s miracles was compiled by the same eighteen-year old young man who had been healed. The spiritual uplifting of the inhabitants of Vyatka was so great that on the eve of a Great Cross procession, the “Vyatka Provincial Gazette” compared the religious fervor to that when the holy Icon from Mount Athos first arrived.
When Father Paisios was leaving for Mount Athos, he left the list of the Icon’s miracles at the Monastery of the Transfiguration. At Vyatka, on June 26, 1871, the foundation of a church in honor of the “Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon was laid. It was built over a period of eleven years.
On August 31, 1882, on the Feast of the Placing of the Honorable Belt of the Most Holy Theotokos, Archbishop Appolos consecrated the church, and every Saturday an Akathist was read before the Icon. Every two years, in remembrance of the holy Icon’s stay in the Vyatka region and the miraculous healings which took place, solemn processions were held throughout the entire diocese.
On November 19, 1866 at Sloboda’s Monastery of the Nativity of the Lord, a gilded riza was added to the “Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon of the Mother of God from Mount Athos; and in remembrance of the Icon’s first healing (of the young man who could not speak), a particularly solemn service took place in the monastery. That day was established as the Feast Day of the wonderworking Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos.
On March 27, 1890, an exact copy of the Icon was delivered to Russia and placed in the Annunciation Cathedral at St. Petersburg, the representation church of Saint Andrew’s Skete on Mount Athos. Day and night, crowds of people came to venerate the wonderworking Icon. By the grace of God, this icon of the Mother of God was also glorified by numerous miracles.
Now the Icon is at the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in St. Petersburg, and a list of miracles is with the holy Icons in the suburban Cathedral of Saint Katherine. In 1999, the altar of one of the churches of the former Monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the town of Sloboda was consecrated in honor of the wonderworking Icon.
In the Aleksievo-Akatov women’s monastery in Voronezh, there is also a list of the Athos shrine, which says: “This icon was painted and blessed on the Holy Mountain in the Russian Monastery of Saint John Chrysostom under the rector Hieroschema-monk Cyril in 1905.” The Icon was restored in 1999.
The “Consolation in Afflictions and Sorrows” Icon is in the form of a triptych. In addition to the Most Holy Theotokos, the following saints are depicted: The Great Martyrs George and Demetrios of Thessaloniki on horseback; Saint John the Forerunner and Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian, the monastic saints Anthony, Euthymios, Onuphrios the Great and Savva the Sanctified; Saints Spyridon of Trimythontos and Nicholas the Wonderworker. The Icon is adorned with several rizas, one of which is gold.
Although the Feast Day of the Icon is on November 19, it does not have its own Service; so the Troparion, Kontakion, and Akathist for the Assuage my Sorrows Icon (January 25 and October 9) are also used for this Icon.
Assuage the sickness of my much-sighing soul, you who wipe away every tear from the face of the earth: For you drive away the sickness of mankind, and destroy the despondency of sinners. Through you, O All-Holy Virgin Mother, all acquire hope and confirmation of faith. Do not entrust me to human protection, O All-Holy Lady, but accept the prayers of your servant, for I am fettered by sorrow, and I cannot endure the arrows fired by demons; I have no shelter and there is nowhere to run. I am wretched and my enemies are on every side, and I have no consolation except you. O Mistress of the world, hope and protection of the faithful. Do not despise my prayers, but do what is beneficial for me.

They brought forward passages not only of the western teachers but quite as many of the eastern, to which we had no reply whatsoever to make except that they were corrupt and corrupted by the Latins. They brought forward our own Epiphanius as in many places clearly declaring that the Spirit is from the Father and the Son: corrupt we said they were. They read the text mentioned earlier in Basil's work against Eunomius: in our judgment it was interpolated. They adduced the words of the Saints of the West: the whole of our answer was 'corrupt' and nothing more. We consider and consult among ourselves for several days as to what answer we shall make, but find no other defence at all but that We had no books that would prove the Latin texts to be corrupt, no Saints who spoke differently from those put forward. We found ourselves deprived of a just case in every direction. So we kept silent.

Anastasia wasn't the first woman to dress up as a man to live in the desert. Abba Bessarion writes that one day, while traveling across the desert, him and his disciple met a monk living in a cave; this desert father refused to speak with them. They respected his silence and left him, but when they went back from their trip they found him dead. While preparing his body to bury him properly, they noticed he was actually a woman. Bessarion wasn't shocked in the slightest by that strange discovery, in fact he commented: "See how women, too, prevail against Satan, meanwhile us [men] in the city are cutting quite the poor figure!"

Da: SGUARDI SULL’ARTE LIBRO TERZO - di Gianpiero Menniti 
L’UMANO POTENZIALE
Il “Rinascimento” mi ha sempre colpito per le immagini ispirate al mito antico, pagano, politeista. Non dovrebbe sorprendere: il Cristianesimo ha sempre tratto a piene mani dalle rappresentazioni sacre precedenti all’età “volgare”, piegandole, adattandole, assorbendole. Eppure, tra il ‘400 e il ‘500, il recupero dell’antico tende a sfrondarsi da escrescenze e stratificazioni, libero persino di ritornare sulle tracce di Ovidio e delle sue “metamorfosi”. Questo è un tema irrisolto, una questione che si prolunga fino agli anni del Barocco.  E oltre. Tollerata dalle gerarchie ecclesiastiche perché salda nella convinzione della “catena aurea” propugnata dalla scuola neoplatonica di Marsilio Ficino, nella cosmopolita Firenze medicea? Non fino in fondo: la reazione di Savonarola e dei suoi seguaci rompe fragorosamente l’idillio e manifesta un riflesso intransigente, non certo privo di una logica di fede che si riannoda al sentimento popolare. E la Roma “scandalosa” agli occhi dei luterani del nord Europa, rafforza la domanda: perché, nel cuore della cristianità, riferimenti così evidenti all’età pagana, anche indirettamente, affollano delle loro immagini le rappresentazioni artistiche? Una risposta possibile la si rintraccia nella “necessità” di un’estetica slegata dai vincoli della tradizione medievale. E’ una traccia. Ma non è sufficiente. Troppo debole. Anche se, quell’acutezza estetica, trova riverbero nelle rappresentazioni sacre del cristianesimo trionfante, proponendosi come modello di compiuta classicità. Guardando meglio, si osservano rivoli intrecciati intorno ai temi umanisti e poi rinascimentali: tra questi, l’apologetica curiale intorno al potere della Chiesa; in questo filone, ma con una visione più intensa nella ricerca teologico-filosofica, si affermò il “neoplatonismo” di Giovanni Bessarione e Niccolò Cusano; ancora, un altro modello di riferimento fa capo al classicismo dell’Accademia romana di Giulio Pomponio Leto, piuttosto estrema, dichiarata eretica e infine sciolta da Papa Paolo II.  Un altro Papa, Pio II, reagì male all’elevazione del cosiddetto “Tempio Malatestiano” di Rimini al quale lavorarono Leon Battista Alberti, Agostino di Duccio e Matteo de’ Pasti. Ma la pluralità del pensiero umanista non è estranea a sommovimenti politici che, nella Roma e nelle capitali italiane del XV e XVI secolo, sono tutt’uno con le espressioni letterarie, architettoniche e artistiche. La chiesa cattolica non è un monolite: ospita la varietà intellettuale. Tratto tipico del potere. A differenza del “fanatismo” che è proprio della visione protestante. Oltre che di correnti filo-riformiste radicali in seno alla stessa Chiesa. Così, in un solco che non è mai lineare e uniforme, quelle immagini prendono vita. Tuttavia nulla mi potrà convincere che il primo cenno di quello sguardo al passato non sia il frutto di una suggestione antropologica molto profonda: gli Dei pagani rappresentano la potenza inespressa dell’umano. E sono anelito e simbolo di una possibilità: il sogno di uomini che possano farsi divini, superare i limiti del tempo e la fragilità dell’esistenza. Proiezione di mondi che oscillano tra un reale mondano e un “reale” ultraterreno, dove non solo le figure ma anche le architetture sono scenario di un “Olimpo” reinterpretato in chiave cristiana. Così, la bellezza e la forza della classicità, “rinascono” come segno ancestrale di superiorità tornato alla luce.

Here’s another update on my progress on The Specters. :)
#
Emma’s chapter after her argument with Anaher was a difficult one, and I may have blocked on it a little. She’s chaotic, unpredictable and right now she’s really not in a good place emotionally. She needs guidance and that’s what Anaher was for her for...pfff, many, many years.
I accidentally realized one thing -- the only time he was not near her, since they first met, when she was twelve, was when he went away to take care about his little brother Troy, for about half a year, when she was seventeen. Back then she was really upset about this, she felt he abandoned her, and it caused a huge rift between them for longer than that half-a-year. And here, he’s not paying attention to her and her problems, again because of Troy. Important thing is that she realizes that.
See, Emma is a very self-aware person. There’s her emotions and there is her logical thinking, and they are not aligned. In fact, they often tell her opposite things, and it’s tough being her when she’s caught in between. Anaher and Nersan usually help her navigate that, but at this moment Anaher is focused on his brother and Nersan lost her trust, because of all the secrets he kept from her (which weren’t as serious. it was more a “lie of omission”, than a deliberate, malicious action).
But she came on top, sort of. At least, she made the right decision under the circumstances -- to come back with Anaher to Majid and take Troy with them, because he really needs help. However, that was a logical decision. Her emotions weren’t dealt with at all. They are still in there and she will have to address them at some point.
#
Then there was Nersan’s chapter -- two, actually -- and those were surprisingly easy. I had a dialogue for one of them written already, so it was about adding some reactions and thoughts. The other one dealt with a situation I thought so much about before, it almost wrote itself.
Nersan stayed in the Extremists camp with the youngsters, Danel and Jan-Rei, because Danel asked him for help. He’s going to keep an eye on them, and together they have Things(tm) to discover.
He’s also under the influence of his former friends, Wendi and Willem, and Wendi is such a bad seed. Ohhh. I like how I wrote her in this chapter and how I wrote Nersan’s reaction to her. The dread, the creeps. Yeah. Sweet (in a “sour” sense).
#
Emma, Anaher and Neve are back in Majid now and Danel and Jan-Rei’s parents, the Bessarions, demand answers. Why didn’t you bring our children back? Huh? HUH?!?!
Emma and Neve are summonned to their boss’s Agatha Itra’s office, by Aneshka Bessarion, and it’s Neve who explains that Danel is an adult and Jan-Rei is an almost adult. And they are protected by Nersan. Aneshka isn’t exactly satisfied by that answer, but then Emma, in her rude manner, tells her to suck it. Well, Emma will Emma. *shrug*
After that, Emma expects Neve to tell Agatha about her encounter with Leanor Bessarion (the relationship to other Bessarions is distant) and what Leanor had told her. As a result, Emma and Neve get a name of a guy they’d met briefly before, who is a University scholar, and who will not, never, ever help them access the documents at the University, that they want to access. Agatha advises them to not ask. To not even try.
Yeah. Like they will listen.
#
And that’s where I’m at. It’s a wrap on Chapter #36
@echo-bleu you’re tagged. ;)

Viaggio alle origini del Vinsanto
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Le origini del Vinsanto sono leggendarie, e varie sono le versioni che, di luogo in luogo, si narrano. Si racconta che, agli inizi del Cristianesimo, questo vino sia stato ritenuto particolarmente puro, tanto da rivelarsi adatto al rito della Messa e, pertanto, Santo. Nel senese invece si narra che, nel 1348, quando scoppiò in città un’epidemia di peste, un frate somministrasse questo vino da messa ai moribondi che trovavano sollievo nel berlo; da questo si diffuse la convinzione che questo vino avesse proprietà miracolose e venne chiamato vinsanto. Ancora, a Firenze si dice che nel 1439, durante il Concilio indetto da Eugenio IV per discutere dell’unione tra la chiesa occidentale e quella orientale, fosse presente il vescovo di Nicea, il Cardinal Bessarione che, assaggiando questo vino, esclamò: "Ma questo è Xantos!", intendendo che si trattava di un vino prodotto nell’isola di Xantos. Ma a Firenze, si sa, storpiare le parole è un vero e proprio mestiere: da Xantos a Santus e poi a Santo passò meno del tempo che il Cardinale aveva impiegato a pronunciare quelle parole.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ancora, il ciclo produttivo del vinsanto era basato attorno alle feste religiose più importanti: chi lo faceva per i Santi, chi per Natale, chi per Pasqua, ma sempre comunque in odor di santità. L’origine meno curiosa è forse quella più probabile: questo vino veniva usato per la messa.
Tumblr media
Il vinsanto veniva prodotto utilizzando i migliori grappoli, che venivano fatti appassire su delle stuoie o appesi a dei ganci. Una volta che le uve erano appassite, venivano pigiate ed il mosto veniva trasferito nei caratelli di legno, da cui si era appena tolto il vinsanto prodotto l’anno precedente. In questo modo i sentori presenti nel caratello enfatizzavano il profumo del vinsanto che si stava per produrre. I caratelli venivano poi sigillati e collocati in un luogo soggetto a forti escursioni termiche, che si riteneva giovassero alla fermentazione del vino; l’invecchiamento era di circa tre anni, ma in alcuni casi il caratello veniva aperto anche dopo dieci anni. Ogni 100 kg. di uva raccolta si ricavano circa 25 litri di vinsanto.
Tumblr media
La lunga e complessa lavorazione delle uve per ottenere il Vinsanto era all’epoca estremamente onerosa; per questo era un vino destinato alle classi più agiate, che desideravano prodotti esclusivi che si distinguessero dai vini “garbi”, come venivano definiti nel Cinquecento i vini asciutti e di diffusione popolare. Il Vinsanto è un tipo di vino da dessert, può essere sia del tipo amabile che secco; gli abbinamenti suggeriti sono con la pasticceria secca, con la pasta frolla e, ovviamente, con i cantuccini.

Tra le novità di questo Tour Milano Primavera 2023, prima fra tutte la scelta dei locali: i grandi protagonisti dei drammi shakespeariani che appariranno come per magia all’interno di bar e luoghi della quotidianità viaggeranno tra bar storici e ormai fidelizzati e nuove location. In tal senso è da sottolineare il coinvolgimento di emergenti hub culturali e sociali come Redo di Merezzate Food Hub e Mosso Milano, luoghi per lo sviluppo di nuove relazioni di partecipazione culturale nelle periferie della città. TDB con il suo progetto si inserisce a pieno all’interno della rete degli spazi ibridi. Una mappa che ha l’obiettivo di mettere in rete le realtà che rigenerano i diversi quartieri della città coniugando il commercio con l’innovazione sociale, azioni culturali e nuove forme socialità e aggregazione. Anche in questa nuova Tournée si è cercato di privilegiare i quartieri e le zone non centrali della città, a dimostrare la volontà di TDB di rivolgersi a un pubblico sempre nuovo e di portare questa operazione di giocosa divulgazione culturale nei luoghi periferici. Altra importante novità riguarda la proposta artistica: per la primissima volta lo spettacolo AMLETO viene proposto all’interno dei luoghi della quotidianità in una versione totalmente rinnovata e resa accessibile anche al non pubblico. Inoltre si è deciso di ampliare i nuclei artistici inserendo un nuovo cast di giovani composto dagli attori Elisabetta Raimondi e Stefano Iagulli e dal musicista Luigi Napolitano; una scelta artistica che conferma la volontà di TDB di ampliare sempre più i propri orizzonti e di espandere i propri nuclei artistici formando giovani attori e musicisti nell’ottica di una sempre maggiore scalabilità e replicabilità del progetto. AMLETO (in scena dal 9 al 14 maggio) Con Davide Lorenzo Palla Musiche e accompagnamento dal vivo Tiziano Cannas Aghedu Regia Riccardo Mallus Produzione TDB s.r.l. Impresa Sociale Un viaggio indietro nel tempo per indagare gli intrighi che si celano dietro ad uno dei più grandi classici teatrali di tutti i tempi. Riscoprire Amleto e i suoi dubbi esistenziali per domandarsi quali conseguenze si nascondano - oggi come ieri - dietro alla “non azione” e quanto essa possa paradossalmente finire per essere la più pericolosa delle azioni. Un capocomico e un musicista accompagnano il pubblico dentro la tragica ma avventurosa storia del principe di Danimarca, una storia fatta di dubbi, morte, tradimenti, amore, vendetta, fantasmi, follia, sogni, utopie e soprattutto di tanto teatro. Lo spettacolo è narrato, recitato e in parte improvvisato; il pubblico è attivo e partecipe all'interno di una messa in scena dinamica che porta l'immaginazione dello spettatore a visualizzare frammenti di testo, pezzi di storia e immagini concrete che compongono il puzzle mentale di un uomo in conflitto con se stesso e con il mondo che lo circonda. Le musiche, originali e composte dal polistrumentista Tiziano Cannas Aghedu, fungono da vero e proprio elemento narrativo accompagnando lo spettatore all’interno della vicenda e sottolineando i momenti salienti in un crescendo carico di pathos, incertezza e tensione. Le note musicali, come un costume cucito su misura, amplificano il viaggio del pubblico all’interno del regno dell’immaginazione, portando lo spettatore ad immergersi totalmente nel “marcio mondo di Danimarca”. - Mar 09/05 - h.21.30 @ Cascina Nascosta / Viale Emilio Alemagna 14 / preno: WhApp. 3406755196 - Mer 10/05 - h.21 @ Oh.la.la / Via Bessarione 46 / preno: tel. 0249794188 - Gio 11/05 - h.21 @ mosso / Via Angelo Mosso 3/ ingresso libero fino ad esaurimento posti - Ven 12/05 – h.21 @ Bar Doria / via Plinio 50 / preno: 02 29400871 - Sab 13/05 - h.21 @ Redo Merezzate Food Hub / via Euguenio Colorni 3 / preno: 0221079165 - Dom 14/05 - h.21 @ U/N locale palco cucina / Piazza Napoli 30/2 / preno: WhApp. 3534507193 MACBETH (in scena a Milano dal 16 al 21 maggio) con Davide Lorenzo Palla e Irene Timpanaro Musiche e accompagnamento dal vivo Tiziano Cannas Aghedu scenografie Michele Ciardulli costumi Anna Coluccia regia Riccardo Mallus una produzione TDB Impresa Sociale In questo dramma, chiamato dai teatranti “la tragedia scozzese” a causa delle superstizioni che lo accompagnano, viene evocato un mondo magico al confine tra il fantasy, l’horror e la black comedy. La storia ruota attorno alla follia e la solitudine di un uomo che riceve una premonizione che ha tutto il suono dell’anatema ed al suo turpe viaggio verso il raggiungimento del trono, e si conclude con la sua solitaria lotta contro la maledizione della magia che sembrava illuminarlo ed invece lo ha accecato. Uno spettacolo che alterna momenti comici, lirici e drammatici in cui il pubblico è coinvolto direttamente e accompagnato dagli attori all’interno dei segreti che si nascondono tra le righe di questo grande classico shakespeariano. Le vicende narrate, agite e raccontate da due moderni menestrelli, portano lo spettatore a riflettere su quanto la brama di potere possa portare alla follia, e su come anche la più alta carica possa rappresentare una condizione di nefasta sciagura se per raggiungerla ci si sporca le mani di sangue. La musica accompagna lo spettacolo e funge da vero e proprio elemento drammaturgico e di racconto, spaziando tra le sonorità dei film horror, tappeti sonori da incubo e strambe ninne nanne notturne che tolgono il sonno. - Mar 16/05 - h.21.30 @ Cascina Nascosta / Viale Emilio Alemagna 14 / preno: WhApp. 3406755196 - Mer 17/05 - h.21 @ Oh.la.la / Via Bessarione 46 / preno: tel. 0249794188 (dalle 16 in poi) - Gio 18/05 – h.20.30 @ Spirit de Milan / Via Bovisasca 57/59 / preno: tel. 3667215569 - Ven 19/05 - h.21 @ mosso / Via Angelo Mosso 3/ ingresso libero fino ad esaurimento posti - Sab 20/05 - h.21 @ Redo Merezzate Food Hub / via Euguenio Colorni 3 / preno: 0221079165 - Dom 21/05 - h.21 @ U/N locale palco cucina / Piazza Napoli 30/2 / preno: WhApp. 3534507193 ROMEO&GIULIETTA (in scena a Milano dal 23 al 28 maggio) con Elisabetta Raimondi e Stefano Iagulli accompagnamento musicale dal vivo Luigi Napolitano consulenza scene Fabrizio Palla costumi Margherita Baldoni una produzione TDB Impresa Sociale Uno spettacolo in puro stile Shakespeariano: un percorso in cui si accompagna il pubblico a riscoprire la storia di Romeo e Giulietta tra narrazione, azione, coinvolgimento diretto degli spettatori e brani originali. Uno spettacolo-concerto, con in scena due attori e un musicista, che ricrea all’interno di bar e circoli l’atmosfera popolare tipica del teatro ai tempi di Shakespeare, un’atmosfera che permette di riscoprire la forza e l'efficacia del testo per come lo aveva pensato il Bardo. Uno spettacolo che riesce a rapire anche le platee caotiche dei bar ed è capace di catapultarle all’interno della storia dei due amanti veronesi, di commuoverle e divertirle in un crescendo mozzafiato. - Mar 23/05 - h.21.30 @ Cascina Nascosta / Viale Emilio Alemagna 14 / preno: WhApp. 3406755196 - Mer 24/05 - h.21 @ Oh.la.la / Via Bessarione 46 / preno: tel. 0249794188 (dalle 16 in poi) - Gio 25/05 - h.21 @ mosso / Via Angelo Mosso 3/ ingresso libero fino ad esaurimento posti - Ven 26/05 – h.21 @ Arci Pessina / Via S.
