    Lietuvos muzikologija, t. 21, 2020 Jānis KUDIŅŠ The Rock OperaLāčplēsis (Bearslayer, 1988): Symbolic Meaning in the Historical Change Process and the Cultural Memory of Latvia* Roko opera „Lačplėsis“ („Lāčplēsis“; „Lokiažudys“, 1988): simbolinė reikšmė istorinių įvykių procese ir Latvijos kultūrinėje atmintyje Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, K. Barona Street 1, Riga, Latvia [email protected] Abstract The focus of this article is the rock opera Lāčplēsis (Bearslayer, 1988, text by Māra Zālīte, music by Zigmars Liepiņš), which at the end of the 1980s in Latvia gained both significant artistic as well as political resonance; such significance is still reflected in the cultural memory of society. The article offers the opportunity to gain a deeper familiarity withLāčplēsis as a symbolic hero in Latvian culture prior to the premiere of the rock opera in 1988 and provides an analysis of Lāčplēsis’s creation, the characteristics of the text and music stylistics, its socio-political resonance, and its place in the historical renewal of state independence and democracy. The article also highlights the reception ofLāčplēsis as an historically significant event in Latvian society’s cultural memory of the last 30 years. This study uses multiple research methods: the clarification of past events through primary sources, periodicals and witness testimony, and comparison and overall generalization of facts and interpretations. Keywords: Lāčplēsis (Bearslayer), Latvian history of culture, rock opera, Zigmars Liepiņš, Māra Zālīte, 1988, historical change, cultural memory. Anotacija Straipsnio tema _ roko opera „Lačplėsis“ („Lāčplēsis“ / „Lokiažudys“, 1988, Māros Zālītės tekstas, Zigmaro Liepiņio muzika), kuri devintojo dešimtmečio pabaigoje Latvijoje įgavo reikšmingą ne tik meninį, bet ir politinį rezonansą, vis dar saugomą kultūrinėje visuomenės atmintyje.

  • Transcending 'Cold Intimacies' in Veiko Õunpuu's Works
    BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE Article Transcending ‘Cold Intimacies’ in Veiko Õunpuu’s Works EVA NÄRIPEA, National Archives of Estonia, Estonian Academy of Arts; email: [email protected] EWA MAZIERSKA, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom; email: [email protected] 60 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2017-0004 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2016 / VOLUME 4 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT This article examines five films by Veiko Õunpuu, Estonia’s most renowned contemporary director – Empty (Tühirand, Estonia, 2006), Autumn Ball (Sügis- ball, Estonia, 2007), Temptations of St Tony (Püha Tõnu kiusamine, Estonia/Finland/Sweden, 2009), Free Range: Ballad on Approving of the World (Free Range: ballaad maailma heakskiitmisest, Estonia, 2013) and Roukli (Estonia, 2015), focusing on his representations of neoliberalism and especially its effect on the emotional and intimate lives of the characters. We argue that the characters of his films typically reject the conventional romance promoted by neoliberal discourses, including Hollywood cinema, yet this does not make them happy, but disoriented and restless. The repudiation of ‘emotional capitalism’ also pertains to the way Õunpuu’s films are conceived and executed. Most importantly, he resists the conventions of Hollywood cinema, including a classical script and happy ending, and also sets and shoots his films in peripheral places. Our main theoretical framework is the concept of ‘emotional capitalism’ as elaborated by Eva Illouz.

  • What Do Actors Do in Contemporary Theatre? Luule Epner
    ISSN 2002-3898 © Luule Epner and Nordic Theatre Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.7146/nts.v26i1.109731 Published with support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS) What do actors do in contemporary theatre? Luule Epner ABSTRACT The article addresses the issue of strategies of acting in contemporary (largely postdramatic) theatre. In the first part of the article, the acting is conceptualized as playing, with reference to relevant theories, particularly that of Thomas Pavel. The article puts forward the argument that the play world created in a theatre performance can be described by the continuous fictional ? real spectrum that accommodates a number of strategies of acting. Within the continuum, there exists an ongoing tension between the fictional and the real; their relationship is largely variable depending on the strategies of acting at work in a particular performance. In the second part of the article, these strategies are divided into three groups: ?being someone else?, ?being oneself ? and performing actions ? and are then analyzed on the basis of examples that are drawn primarily from Estonian contemporary theatre.
