  • Judy & Punch: Amor E Vingança
    COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA 23/07/2020 Museu da Marioneta exibe bonecos tradicionais que dão origem ao filme ‘JUDY & PUNCH: AMOR E VINGANÇA’ ESTREIA NA PRÓXIMA SEMANA Mia Wasikowska e Damon Herriman são ‘Judy & Punch: Amor e Vingança’, uma adaptação de Mirrah Foulkes do tradicional espetáculo de marionetas. O filme estreia a 30 de julho nos cinemas nacionais e com o bilhete de cinema é possível obter 50% de desconto para a Exposição Permanente do Museu da Marioneta, em Lisboa. Judy e Punch são autores de um espetáculo de marionetas em Seaside, uma cidade sem costa que, em pleno século XVII, é dominada pela pobreza e violência. Apesar do sucesso das suas representações teatrais, também a vida do casal vai ser tomada pelo caos e tragédia que os rodeia, numa mistura entre conto de fadas e realidade que revela a natureza inevitável de cada um. A direção desta produção australiana ficou a cargo da atriz e argumentista Mirrah Foulkes (‘Reino Animal’, ‘The Turning’ e séries ‘All Saints’, ‘Top of the Lake’). Depois das experiências de realização em curta-metragens (a primeira, ‘Dumpy Goes to the Big Smoke’, foi em 2012), Foulkes sentiu-se inspirada para criar este filme “a partir de um espetáculo de marionetas esquisito e misógino, explorando a nossa obsessão contemporânea por violência e, dessa forma, reapropriar e reavivar os seus significados e ressonâncias com o clima atual”. O resultado é um filme sombrio, realista e divertido, onde a imaginação não tem limites. Os protagonistas são interpretados por Mia Wasikowska (‘Alice no País das Maravilhas’, ‘Os Miúdos Estão Bem’, ‘O Homem do Coração de Ferro’) e Damon Herriman (‘Era uma vez em…Hollywood’, ‘The Nightingale’, e séries ‘Caçador de Mentes', ‘Justified’).

  • Mitchell Brothers – Vaudeville and Western
    Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 William Mitchell, his wife Pearl Mitchell, and John Mitchell 1 Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 Vaudeville was a favorite pastime for individuals seeking clean entertainment during the early part of the 20th century. The era of vaudeville was relatively short because of the creation of new technology. Vaudeville began around 1881 and began to fade in the early 1930s.1 The term vaudeville originated in France.2 It is thought that the term vaudeville was from “Old French vaudevire, short for chanson du Vaux de Vire, which meant popular satirical songs that were composed and presented during the 15th century in the valleys or vaux near the French town of Vire in the province of Normandy.”3 How did vaudeville begin? What was vaude- ville’s purpose and what caused its eventual collapse? This paper addresses the phenomenon of vaudeville — its rise, its stable but short lifetime, and its demise. Vaudeville was an outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution, which provided jobs for peo- ple and put money in their pockets.4 Because of increased incomes, individuals began to desire and seek clean, family entertainment.5 This desire was first satisfied by Tony Pastor, who is known as the “father of vaudeville.”6 In 1881 Pastor opened “Tony Pastor’s New Fourteenth Street Theatre” and began offering what he called variety entertainment.7 Later B. F. Keith, who is called the “founder of vaudeville,” opened a theater in Boston and expanded on Pastor’s original variety concept.8 Keith was the first to use the term “vaudeville” when he opened his theater in Boston in 1894.9 Keith later joined with E.

  • Filming Begins on Fighting Season a Foxtel Original Drama
    Media Release: Monday, May 8 2017 Filming begins on Fighting Season A Foxtel original drama L-R: Jay Ryan, Ewen Leslie (sitting) George Pullar, Paul De Gelder , Marco Alosio, Julian Maroun (sitting), Photo by Mark Rogers Foxtel today announced that Fighting Season, a complex, character-driven drama about Australian soldiers returning from Afghanistan, begins filming this week in Sydney with a superb ensemble cast. Jay Ryan (Beauty and the Beast, Top of the Lake,) Ewen Leslie (Top of the Lake, The Daughter), and Kate Mulvany (Secret City, The Great Gatsby), headline a cast that also includes new and diverse talent including George Pullar (A Place to call Home S5), Marco Alosio, Julian Maroun, Paul De Gelder, Sarah Armanious and Sabryna Walters. Lucy Bell, Lex Marinos, David Roberts, Camilla Ah Kin, Ching Po and Jay Lagaiai will play supporting roles. The series will be helmed by the award-winning Director Kate Woods (Looking for Alibrandi), who returns to Australia after a decade in the US working on shows such as Law and Order SVU, Nashville and Suits. Also directing is the dynamic Ben Lucas (Wasted on the Young). Fighting Season, from production company Goalpost Pictures (Cleverman,The Sapphires) and writer Blake Ayshford (Barracuda, Devil’s Playground) is the story about the invisible men and women who fight for our country, what they bring home and what of themselves they leave behind, and the secrets that must remain hidden. The six-part event drama is a compelling mystery regarding a possible cover-up where the lines between killer and family man, between hero and victim, between truth and imagination, are constantly shifting.

    WICKED FLIES INTO SINGAPORE AND CASTS ITS SPELL! Singapore to be enchanted as Broadway’s biggest blockbuster opens tonight at Marina Bay Sands Singapore, 12th December 2011–WICKED, the international Broadway hit musical, celebrated its Singapore premiere on Friday 9 December at the Grand Theater, Marina Bay Sands. WICKED is “one of the most successful shows in Broadway history” (The New York Times) and now it is Singapore’s turn to be enchanted bythe award-winning musical and be part of the 30 million people worldwide who have been spellbound by this production. When WICKEDopened on Broadway, it worked its magic on critics and audiences alike.Winner of 35 major awards including a Grammy® and three Tony Awards®, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz, one born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the Westand Glinda the Good. “The defining musical of the decade.” The New York Times Currently in its 9th year on Broadway, WICKED’s North American and International companies have cumulatively grossed over US$2.5 billion. Since opening at the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway in October 2003, WICKED has regularly broken box office records,grossing more than $US1.6 million a week, and has been seen by nearly 6 million people on Broadway. “If every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” Time Magazine In London,WICKED had the highest weekly gross in West End history (a record WICKED also holds on Broadway, as well as a North American weekly touring record in both the United States and Canada), and in Tokyo and Stuttgart it again set new box office records.

BY THB REV. WILLIAM WYATT GILL, BA., AUTHOR OF "MYTHS AND SONGS FEOM THE SOUTH PACIFIC. WELLINGTON GEORGE DIDSBURY, GOVERNMENT PRINTER. 1880. LIBRARY 731325 UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO — INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. The flattering reception accorded to a former^ volume has induced me to collect and publish a series of Historical Sketches with Illustrative Songs, which may not be without interest to students of ethnology and others. Some of them have already appeared in a serial publication. During a long residence on Mangaia, shut out to a great extent from the civilized world, I enjoyed great facilities for the study of the natives themselves and their traditions. I soon found that they had two sets of traditions — one referring to their gods, and to the supposed experiences of men after death; another relating veritable history. The natives themselves carefully distinguish the two. Thus, historical songs are called '^ pe^e ;^' the others, ^^ kapa,'^ &c. In the native mind the series now presented to the English public is a natural sequence to " Myths and Songs ;" the mythical, or, as they would say, the spiritual, necessarily taking precedence of the historical or human. In such researches we cannot be too careful to distinguish history from myth. But when we find hostile clans, in their epics, giving substantially the same account of the historical past, the most sceptical must yield to the force of evidence.
