Co-written by George Kuchar, king of underground porno kitsch, this symphony of sleaze shares his distinctly low-fi aesthetic, featuring clearly fake sets and ‘bad’ acting, and exploiting every possible opportunity for improbable sexual interaction between its parodic protagonists.

SERGI BELBEL'STHEATRE OF PAIN DINS la seva memoria("Within his Memory"), a Catalan play written by Sergi Bel- bel in 1986, begins in total darkness, an imprecise empty void in which the spectator hears only the deep, rhythmic gasps and sighs of the anonymous pro- tagonist. ' As the stage lights slowly rise during this "preliminary"scene, Ell (or, "He," as the protagonist is generically called) is depicted on his knees, mastur- bating with his back to the audience. At first glance, his violent, self-inflicted pleasure may be interpreted as an ultimate affirmation of life; yet, his autoerot- ic gestures are also imbued with memories that carry with them tremendous pain and torment, for as he gazes at his reflection in a mirror hanging above the stage, he "sweatsblood" (according to the stage directions) and is remind- ed of the tragic death of his identical twin brother in an automobile accident some years earlier.

  • The Gran Teatre Del Liceu in Catalan Culture
    The Gran Teatre del Liceu in Catalan Culture: History, Representation and Myth Charlie Allwood Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 This thesis examines the position of Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu within Barcelona’s cultural lanscapeas a means of exploring its modern-day role as one of Europe’s most important opera houses. Other studies of the Liceu have provided extensive historical narratives, but have rarely considered any kind of sociological or cultural theory when analysing the theatre’s role in the city. Chapter 1 explores the Liceu in Spanish and Catalan literature and dramaturgy and questions its role as a representative of upper-class Barcelona culture, and the changes this role has undergone over the course of Spain’s transition to democracy. The Liceu’s location in the adjacent Raval district is examined in Chapter 2: the area has undergone considerable physical and demographic changes over the last decades, and the opera house’s relationship to this area and the larger Barcelona context is discussed in some detail. The third chapter contextualises the Liceu within the wider Catalan cultural panorama and examines the impact of the recession in Spain, which has greatly affected cultural spending, and consequently the theatre’s programme. This problem has been aggravated by an awkward, opaque system of management; the thesis provides examples and analysis of the difficulties the theatre experienced between 2010 and 2013. The final chapter seeks to underline the efforts of the artistic direction to make the Liceu a referent of modern European operatic productions, with three case studies of stagings that represent modern interpretations of opera by contemporary Catalan directors.

    FILM LIBRARY 2018 Latido Films is an international sales agency founded in 2003 to commercialize all-film rights of titles from all over the world (with a line-up of no more than 15 per year to ensure our quality standards), with a special focus in Spain and Latin-America and lately Eastern Europe. Latido has collaborated with prestigious filmmakers such as Juan Jose Campanella (“The Weasels”, “The Secret In Their Eyes” – Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film), Carlos Saura (“J: Beyond Flamenco”, “Fados”), Andres Wood (“Violeta Went To Heaven” and “Machuca”), just to mention some of them. Moreover, we support established arthouse directors such as Krzysztof Zanussi, Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat. On the other hand, we work with box office hits such as “Champions“ by Javier Fesser and “The Best Summer Of My Life” by Dani de la Orden. Likewise, Latido seeks after rising up new talents like Bartosz M. Kowalski (“Playground”) and Rodrigo Sorogoyen (“The Realm”, “May God Save Us”). We are also convinced that there’s a market for movies by striking new women directors, such as Pepa San Martin (“Rara”), Laura Mora (“Killing Jesus”) and Arantxa Echevarría (“Carmen & Lola”). Multi-audience animations and ground-breaking documentaries are also a must in our catalogue. FILM LIBRARY 1973. Uruguay is governed by a military dictatorship.
