Un model de perfecțiune, clasic - nu vom greși dacă-l vom numi astfel pe actorul, regizorul și fost directorul Teatrului Republican de Păpuși „Licurici” din Chișinău. Opera sa de creație își păstrează importanța și va rămâne în patrimoniul cultural al teatrului național.
A creat un teatru pentru cel mai agreat și îndrăgit public - copiii. 👨👨👧👧
❗️La 21 martie am marcat Ziua Mondială a Actorului Păpușar.
Din labirintele creației lui Titus Jucov:
„Teatrul de păpuși este un gen deosebit de teatru, pentru că el pornește de la Sfânta copilărie... Misiunea supremă a actorului păpușar este de a găsi acea cheiță fermecată, prin care, cu ajutorul mijloacelor de expresie adecvate, al unei maniere flexibile a jocului, al unui limbaj accesibil să fim înțeleși de spectatorul nostru”. Titus Jucov. (din cartea „O poveste a poveștilor” de Gheorghe Cincilei)
Pentru mine farmecul și miracolul teatrului pe care îl profesez rezidă nu doar în păpușă, ci și în corelația dintre actor și păpușă. Teatrul de păpuși pur este depășit, m-am convins de lucrul acesta la numeroase festivaluri și alte manifestări. Asocierea păpușii cu actorul generează o gamă întreagă de efecte artistice. Titus Jucov (Jocul păpușarilor: La 50 de ani de la fondarea Teatrului Republican de Păpuși „Licurici”, 1995, Titus Jucov)
„Copilul trebuie învățat să viseze, pentru că de la vis până la realitate distanța e de un singur pas. Dacă-mi doresc ca teatrul să realizeze ceva, ca fiecare semință răsărită, să prindă colte, rădăcini, și să crească în sufletul copiilor. E mult, desigur. Dar pentru asta trăiesc și muncesc”. Titus Jucov. (din cartea „O poveste a poveștilor” de Gheorghe Cincilei)
„Deși nu întotdeauna spectacolul denotă valoarea efortului depus sde trupă, vreau să menționez, că spectacolul „Harap Alb”, așa cum a fost prezentat, e la nivelul posibilităților reale ale teatrului. Am spart găoacea dulcegăriilor, făcând astfel primul pas spre scena mare”. Titus Jucov (Jocul păpușarilor: La 50 de ani de la fondarea Teatrului Republican de Păpuși „Licurici”, 1995)
Spectacolul de păpuși, ca și basmul, este o vitamină pentru toate vârstele”. Titus Jucov.
„Fiind un artist talentat, Titus Jucov de fiecare dată scoate în evidență enormele posibilități ale scenei teatrului de păpuși. Cu fiecare spectacol nou Titus Jucov se afirmă ca un regizor-inovator, care e mereu în căutarea unor noi mijloace expresive. El continuă să dezvolte frumoasele tradiții ale unuia din cele mai vechi teatre de păpuși - cel din Leningrad (azi Sankt-Petersburg). Victoria Pasecnic. ((Jocul păpușarilor: La 50 de ani de la fondarea Teatrului Republican de Păpuși „Licurici”, 1995)
Pentru Titus Jucov Harap Alb (în spectacolul omonim) nu-i o simplă păpușă, ce învinge obstacolele apărute în calea spre Împăratul verde. Păpușa este o generalizare a calităților omenești și mișcarea lui Harap Alb prin spațiul scenic reprezintă nu altceva decât unul din nenumăratele „procedee! de perfecționare a omului, pornit pecalea desăvârșirii lăuntrice supreme”.

British postcard. Photo: Radio. Cedric Hardwicke in Becky Sharp (Rouben Mamoulian, 1935).
Sir Cedric Hardwicke (1893-1964) was an English stage and film actor whose career spanned nearly fifty years. His theatre work included notable performances in productions of the plays of Shakespeare and Shaw. From the late 1930s on, he was in great demand in Hollywood.
Cedric Webster Hardwicke was born in Lye, Worcestershire, in 1893, to Dr Edwin Webster Hardwicke and his wife, Jessie (née Masterson). He attended Bridgnorth Grammar School in Shropshire, after which he intended to train as a doctor but failed to pass the necessary examinations. He turned to the theatre and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). In 1912, Hardwicke made his first stage appearance in Frederick Melville's melodrama The Monk and the Woman at the Lyceum Theatre, London. In 1913 he joined Benson's Company and toured in the provinces, South Africa and Rhodesia. In 1914 he appeared at the Old Vic as Malcolm in Macbeth, Tranio in The Taming of the Shrew, and the gravedigger in Hamlet. WWI intervened in his career, and from 1914 to 1921 he served as an officer in the Judge Advocate's branch of the British Army in France. He was one of the last members of the British Expeditionary Force to leave France. Following his discharge, in January 1922 he joined the Birmingham Repertory Company, playing a range of parts from the drooping young lover Faulkland in The Rivals to the roistering Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night. He played many classical roles on stage, appearing at London's top theatres, making his name on the stage performing works by George Bernard Shaw, who said that Hardwicke was his fifth favourite actor after the four Marx Brothers. Hardwicke starred in such Shaw plays as Caesar and Cleopatra, Pygmalion, The Apple Cart, Candida, Too True to Be Good, and Don Juan in Hell. He also started to appear in film In 1926, he played Admiral Horatio Nelson in the silent biopic Nelson (Walter Summers, 1926) with Gertrude McCoy as Lady Hamilton. Five years later, he appeared as Capt. Alfred Dreyfus in a British film on the Dreyfus affair, Dreyfus (F.W. Kraemer, Milton Rosmer, 1931). He also appeared with Esther Ralston and Conrad Veidt in the thriller Rome Express (Walter Forde , 1932) and with Boris Karloff in the British horror film The Ghoul (T. Hayes Hunter , 1933). On stage and in the cinema, he made such an impression that at age 41 he became the youngest actor to be knighted in the 1934 New Year's Honours. Other stage successes included The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, Antigone and A Majority of One, winning a Tony Award nomination for his performance as a Japanese diplomat. In the cinema he had a hit with the historical drama Nell Gwynn ( Herbert Wilcox, 1934) which portrays the historical romance between Charles II of England (Hardwicke) and the actress Nell Gwynn (Anna Neagle). He played in such films as Jew Süss/ Power - Jew Suss (Lothar Mendes, 1934) based on Lion Feuchtwanger's novel Jud Süß, about Joseph Süß Oppenheimer played by Conrad Veidt), the American drama Les Misérables (Richard Boleslawski, 1935) and the British adventure film King Solomon's Mines (Robert Stevenson, 1937), starring Paul Roberson.
In the late 1930s, Cedric Hardwicke moved to the US, initially for film work. He was in great demand in Hollywood. He played David Livingstone opposite Spencer Tracy's Henry Morton Stanley in Stanley and Livingstone (Henry King, 1939), and also played Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (William Dieterle, 1939). Then he played Mr Jones in a screen version of Joseph Conrad's novel Victory (John Cromwell, 1940). He starred in The Ghost of Frankenstein (Erle C. Kenton, 1942), as the unfortunate Ludwig von Frankenstein, alongside Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi. In the early 1940s he also continued his stage career, touring and in New York. In 1944 Hardwicke returned to Britain, again touring, and reappeared on the London stage, at the Westminster Theatre, on 29 March 1945, as Richard Varwell in a revival of Eden and Adelaide Phillpotts' comedy, Yellow Sands, and subsequently toured in this on the continent. He returned to America late in 1945 and appeared with Ethel Barrymore in December in a revival of Shaw's Pygmalion, and continued on the New York stage the following year. In 1946, he starred opposite Katharine Cornell as King Creon in her production of Jean Anouilh's adaptation of the Greek tragedy Antigone. In 1948 he joined the Old Vic Company at the New Theatre to play Sir Toby Belch, Doctor Faustus, and Gaev in The Cherry Orchard. Then he moved permanently to the US. That year he also appeared in the British film The Winslow Boy (Anthony Asquith, 1948) and in Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948). He was featured as King Arthur in the comedy/musical, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Tay Garnett, 1949), singing Busy Doing Nothing in a trio with Bing Crosby and William Bendix. In 1951–1952, he appeared on Broadway in Shaw's Don Juan in Hell with Agnes Moorehead, Charles Boyer and Charles Laughton. Later, Hardwicke played in such films as Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955), and as the Pharaoh Seti I in Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956). On TV, he appeared in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents entitled Wet Saturday (1956). During the 1961–1962 television season, Hardwicke starred as Professor Crayton in Gertrude Berg's sitcom Mrs. G. Goes to College. His final acting role was in The Outer Limits in the episode The Forms of Things Unknown. In 1964, Cedric Hardwicke in New York from cancer. He was 71. He was married twice. In 1928, he married the English actress Helena Pickard. They divorced in 1948. Their son was actor Edward Hardwicke. His second marriage, which also produced one child and ended in divorce, was to Mary Scott, from 1950 to 1961.

[caption id="attachment_304216" align="alignright" width="300"] Callejón de Huaylas, en Perú, donde existen cerca de 400 lagunas de origen glaciar. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES[/caption]
No fueron uno ni dos aluviones los que asolaron el departamento de Ancash, en el norte de Perú, en el siglo XX. Fueron por lo menos cinco, importantes, que provocaron cientos de muertos. En algún caso fueron miles, como ocurrió en la ciudad de Yungay la tarde del 31 de mayo de 1970, hace 45 años, cuando millones de metros cúbicos de hielo provenientes del Huascarán, el monte más alto del Perú (6.768 metros) se desprendieron a raíz de un terremoto de 7,7 grados de magnitud.
El saldo fatal fue de cerca de 15.000 víctimas mortales que se sumaron a otras 50.000 más causadas por el mismo sismo, que devastó numerosos pueblos, ciudades y carreteras. Mark Carey, profesor de Historia de la Universidad de Oregón, norteamericano de origen, se ha internado por esta tormentosa ruta glaciar para, además de hacer su tesis doctoral, producir el libroGlaciares, cambio climático y desastres naturales, una obra que deshiela el pasado y el futuro.
Un aluvión de aluviones
También el presente, por supuesto, porque persiste la amenaza de una avalancha de origen glaciar en este país, que ha sufrido la mayoría de desastres de este tipo en todo el planeta. La saga que explora Carey comienza con el aluvión de Huaraz (capital del departamento) en 1941, que produce más de 4.000 muertos; sigue con el de Chavín, que acaba con la vida de unas 500 personas, y continúa con el de Los Cedros, que mata a por lo menos 200.
Las mayores tragedias, sin embargo, ocurren en la década de los sesenta. En 1962, Ranrahirca, una ciudad ubicada al pie del Huascarán, como Yungay, es arrasada por un aluvión causado por un inmenso bloque de hielo desprendido del nevado, que baja devorando campos, pueblos y vidas. Sólo ocho años después llega la hecatombe de 1970, que en su momento remeció a Ancash, al Perú, a todo Sudamérica. Al mundo entero porque fue una de las fatalidades sísmicas más grandes.
Nevado Pirámide de Garcilaso (5.885 metros). Su belleza es arrobadora, pero, como otras montañas, abriga un riesgo para las poblaciones vecinas. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES
¿Qué ocasiona esto, qué mantiene la amenaza latente y qué descubre Carey? En este territorio, hermoso como pocos, denominado por algunos como "la Suiza peruana" por su parecido con el país alpino, existen una cadena nevada denominada, por visibles y hermosas razones paisajísticas, Cordillera Blanca. Podría decirse que, incluso, tiene un parecido con Nepal, esa nación hoy agobiada por dos sismos y que también ha sufrido avalanchas en el Himalaya.
Son cerca de 600 glaciares distribuidos a lo largo de unos 200 kilómetros, varios de ellos de más 6.000 metros de altura, y que hacen vecindad con el Callejón de Huaylas, un valle verde y deslumbrante que yace a los pies de este conjunto de montañas, que Carey en una parte llama "el hielo asesino de los Andes". No es para menos, por lo ya descrito y por registros históricos a los cuales el autor se asoma, que hablan de tragedias similares ocurridas en los siglos anteriores.
La glaciología pionera
Como en otras zonas del mundo, el retroceso glaciar avanza en la Cordillera Blanca. El cambio climático lo agudiza y puede aumentar el riesgo de desastres. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES
Esa combinación de presencia sobrecogedora y poblaciones vulnerables —debido a que, tras la Conquista, se asentaron en lugares donde el hombre prehispánico no lo hizo— ha resultado literalmente mortal desde el siglo XX, antes y hasta la actualidad. En los últimos años, como bien se desprende de las rigurosas líneas de Carey, un germinal pero incipiente cambio climático fue, lenta pero terriblemente, estimulando las tragedias de origen glaciar.
A pesar de de establecer con precisión las coordenadas científicas de estos fenómenos, el autor va más allá porque justamente busca otra cosa: establecer cómo cambió la sociedad ancashina por estos dramáticos hechos, cómo se relacionó con el Estado y cómo se generó, por las desoladoras consecuencias de los aluviones, una generación de científicos peruanos, de glaciólogos, que fue realmente pionera en el estudio de los hielos a nivel mundial.
Lo que hace Carey es Historia Ambiental con mayúsculas, una disciplina que recién crece al ritmo del cambio climático y otras señales del ambiente que invitan a revisar nuestro devenir en la Tierra con ojos más inclusivos. En el caso de las tragedias ancashinas, percibe el surgimiento de ese núcleo profesional, que se especializa en el tema a causa de las desgracias y que terminan “actuando como intermediario entre el gobierno nacional y el Callejón de Huaylas”.
Laguna Parón, la más grande de la Cordillera Blanca. Varias veces ha estado a punto de desbordarse y provocar un desatre de enormes proporciones. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES
En ese viaje siguieron ocurriendo los aluviones de origen glaciar, pero la glaciología peruana hizo un aporte desde la periferia al centro, como bien apuntó en la presentación del libro el historiador Jorge Lossio. A la vez, también ocurrieron hechos penosos, como la resistencia de algunos estratos sociales a la reconfiguración de la ciudad de Huaraz, tras el aluvión de 1941, una pequeña y penosa historia que el autor del libro relata con cierto minucioso detalle.
“El aluvión erosionó los indicadores de esta distinción social”, sostiene Carey al describir esas resistencias, que incluso hicieron que muchas personas insistieron en ponerse en el mismo cono aluviónico, con lo que aumentaban su propia vulnerabilidad. Simultáneamente, aparecerían en el escenario los turistas, las empresas que edifican hidroeléctricas y otros actores que van configurando lo que en el mundo académico contemporáneo se llama economía del desastre.
La privatización de los glaciares
Se produjo una trágica falta de visión de parte de algunas autoridades y pobladores, que trataba de ser contenida por los glaciólogos, que hasta proponían traslados. No siempre fueron escuchados y tuvieron que convenir en hacer drenaje de lagunas, algo que sirvió para evitar algunas desgracias pero no pudo evitar otras. Ya en los noventa, Carey registra la impronta de la nueva economía, de la globalización y la apertura de mercados aterrizando sobre los hielos tropicales.
El hielo de estas montañas inmensas suele agrietarse por las lluvias, por los sismos o por el cambio climático. Entonces crece el peligro de las avalanchas. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES
Lo llama "la neoliberalización de los glaciares" y es un tiempo en el cual las grandes empresas pisan fuerte en los glaciares ancashinos, sobre todo la norteamericana Duke Energy, que insiste en represar algunas de las cerca de 400 lagunas de origen glaciar que, como consecuencia de los deshielos, existen en la zona. El súmmum de esta deriva es el cierre de la Unidad de Glaciología y Recursos Hidrológicos en tiempos del presidente Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) que, al son de la privatización, llegó al extremo de desproteger a la población cerrando esa entidad.
Dicha instancia era heredera de otras anteriores (Comisión de Lagunas, Corporación del Santa, por el río que recorre el Callejón y otras), y ya había incurrido en la tentación de pensar más en la generación de energía que en el riesgo potencial de desastres para los pobladores de Ancash. Pero los tiempos fujimoristas, tan llenos de corrupción y desatado ultraliberalismo, parecen haber sido los peores, pues “significaron mayor vulnerabilidad ante las amenazas glaciares”.
En su navegación por esta cordillera nevada, Carey se encuentra además con una falsa alarma emitida por la NASA en el 2003, en torno a una laguna denominada Palcacocha, ubicada al pie del nevado Cupi. Revuelo, desesperación, a partir de una "grieta ominosa en el hielo", que no fue tal, como luego demostraron los glaciólogos peruanos. En los hechos, la ciencia "de la periferia" le enmendaba la plana a un organismo de ese nivel, que no supo diferenciar el hielo de la roca.
La amenaza latente
Las lagunas glaciares han sido drenadas por años, para evitar desastres. Pero en los últimos años se ha puesto en valor su potencial hidroeléctrico. / ERNESTO BENAVIDES
Al momento de escribir estas líneas, la Unidad de Glaciología en Ancash vive otra vez, ya que fue restablecida en el gobierno de Alejandro Toledo (2001-2006). Duke Energy sigue allí, como propietaria de la Hidroeléctrica del Cañón del Pato, y las inmensas montañas aún muestran su manto blanco. No obstante, en los últimos años el cambio climático ha ido derritiendo parte del paisaje y las esperanzas de este lugar, uno de los más hermosos y espectaculares de la Tierra.
Se estima que, desde 1970, los glaciares de la Cordillera Blanca han retrocedido al menos en un 30%. Uno se para en la ciudad de Huaraz y ya no se ve tanta nieve en las montañas circundantes, como cuando ocurrió el destructor aluvión en 1941. Aún así, o precisamente por eso, por el derretimiento de los hielos supuestamente eternos de los Andes, la peligrosa amenaza persiste y esta historia de Carey lo cuenta, lo advierte. Lo registra con rigor y emoción.
