Persona. Simone’s Body
Director: Krystian Lupa
The scandal that accompanied the premiere production (One of the actresses, Joanna Szczepkowska, rebelled against the director, showed her naked buttocks to the spectators, made a Nazi greeting gesture, and later long explored the meanings of this performance in the media), somehow overshadowed somehow the intentions of Krystian Lupa. And yet Simone’s Body is the second part of the Persona diptych. The play opens in the same space as the previous part: this time the sound stage, where Marilyn Monroe took shelter from the world, plays the role of the rehearsal stage, where a young, eccentric director is getting ready to put on a production on Simone Weil. The philosopher is to be played by a Bergmanesque character, Elizabeth Vogler, an actress who returns to the profession after 30 years of “silence”. The heroine doubts whether it is fair to make a play on Simone against her, with contempt for her theses, and disbelieving her honesty. Nevertheless, the rehearsals start, and the director and his collaborators provoke a long improvisation – a psychodrama especially for Elizabeth. It is as if a trip into the interior of one of the dreams described by Weil is to be a trap for the actress. It is to coerce her into an uncontrolled reaction, to kindle her senses, and to compromise her own perception of Christianity and the person of Weil.
As is his style, Lupa enters deeply into the intimacy of his actors, talks them into emotional transgressions, and provokes extreme situa-tions.

Our house is in walking distance from my office, so I normally come home for lunch. On Thursday I noticed this young man in a large SUV sitting at the corner. When I came home at the end of the day he was dropping flyers in our mail box explaining that Going Nuts Productions would be filming for a show on APTN at the corner on Friday. Well here is what it looked like on Friday. The scene they filmed four times in about 5 minutes consisted of the woman in the track suit running, being tripped on to the foam mat and then being shot three times. There was some dialogue that I could not hear. I watched the filming with a neighbour who is a professional dancer and has done some work for TV, he commented that filming for TV was the worst kind of work cause it involved doing the same thing over and over again. He said they would shoot the same scene 6 times just to get the light right. And I thought TV was glamourous.
Paramount Comedy is a channel that broadcasts on Sky TV. Like many other satellite channels, it used to have a full working set of teletext information pages, including TV listings and an irreverent viewer feedback page. Now, the pages are no longer updated but still exist in a form untouched since they couldn't be bothered with the service any more. Included in these are some rather interesting technical and humorous pages, such as ones depicting cats and penguins.

"I think [is] lived in the stars now, because of my age, but this is a different type of role. Kitty Hawk is ever cheerful, but Vicky, not so much. She has a beautiful hair, said: "Rupp.
When the That 70s Show: Complete Seasons 1-8 DVD Box set ended its run in 2006, Rupp taking the time to "go to Kitty Hawk" - "I have to laugh out of this" - to do theater, but felt that pull in TV again this year. "I think, let us look at the TV still want me," she recalls. "And you see, a comedy, ABC's, my one in."
This is a comedy, solidarity with another group she calls her "kids." "Jack Lacy [who plays Vicky's future son in law] is right out of school," she said. "I looked at him, and sometimes, just feel so old and tired!"

Travel to NOLA - February 2024 - Krewe Of Zulu
Early in 1909, a group of laborers in a club named ?The Tramps? went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy that included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me' about the Zulu Tribe. According to legend, after seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. The rest, as they say, is history. Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians, however, seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that.
Conversations and interviews with older members indicate that, back in the day, the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or ?Club.? The Tramps were one such group. The group that founded Zulu was probably made up of both members from the Tramps and other ward-based groups and members of a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community. For a small amount of dues, members received financial help when they got sick or there was a funeral to pay for.
While the men marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King. The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story in the early days were similarly attired.
The year 1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.
Today Zulu is famous for their coconut throw ? quite possibly the most coveted throw in all of Mardi Gras. Zulu?s honor guard is called the Soulful Warriors; and they have characters including Big Shot, Witch Doctor, Ambassador, Mayor, Province Prince, Governor and Mr. Big Stuff.
The most famous Krewe of Zulu king was Louis Armstrong who reigned in 1949.
Year founded: 1909
