Children's & YALos Chimichimitos (The Chimichimitos)
by Mariana Massarani
The tiny shimyshinees is a manifestation of children’s cultural heritage that fuse legend, games, and dance. Its origins are on the Island of Margarita –Venezuela– and thanks to school this piece of oral tradition spread throughout the country. According to the legend, The tiny shimyshinees is form by a group of elves that appear during full moon nights and gather on the beach to sing and play. Their song is so sweet that they can attract fish to the seashore. Over time, The tiny shimyshinees became a kind of theatrical troupe that roamed the streets of towns in popular festivals. Mariana Massarani’s illustrations capture the colors and culture of the Caribbean and give such a local piece an absolutely universal tone. With a naive style and with PVA paint, Massarani makes some colorful and very funny images and gives us perfect settings for the story that takes place: a group of children prepares their presentation on the shore of a crystalline sea and this is how image after image we see the coastal town, the costumes of the characters and part of their Caribbean culture. It is impossible to read this book without wanting to go to the beach!

October 2002Mariana Pineda. Sobald fünf Jahre vergehen
Zwei Theaterstücke
by Federico García Lorca, Susanne Lange, Thomas Brovot
Mariana Pineda Lorcas großes Frühwerk von 1925 ist seit je eine Herausforderung für Regisseure, die neben dem Kammerton die große Bühne, das »theatralische« Sujet suchen.Granada 1831: Die spanische Freiheitskämpferin und Volksheldin Mariana Pineda verschwört sich mit den Liberalen gegen die Gewaltherrschaft von Fernando VII. und verhilft ihrem Geliebten, einem Revolutionär, zur Flucht aus dem Gefängnis. Bald wird sie vom Strafrichter Pedrosa bedrängt: gerichtlich wie sexuell. Mariana stirbt als Märtyrerin.Lorca sucht nicht die historische Heldin, sondern eine dramatische Frauengestalt, in der der zeitlose Konflikt zwischen Leidenschaft und Pflicht, Macht und Ohnmacht zum Ausbruch kommt. Und er gibt ihr eine Sprache starker, eindringlicher neuer Bildhaftigkeit. Mariana ist die erste und stärkste von Lorcas eindrucksvollen Frauenfiguren: eine Julia ohne Romeo, eine der großen Bühnenrollen des modernen Theaters. Sobald fünf Jahre vergehen Lorcas »unmögliche Komödie« aus dem Herzen des Traums ist ein Spiel um Zeit, Liebe und Tod, eine erotisch-philosophische Betrachtung des Daseins – totales Theater, so wie Lorca es sich immer zum Ziel gesetzt hat.Fünf Jahre will der junge Held warten, ehe er seine Verlobte heiratet. Die geht auf eine Reise, flieht mit einem anderen, und er flüchtet in die Liebe zu einer anderen Frau. Das Spiel kehrt sich um, das Ende ist der Tod.So bekannt die Konstellation, so außergewöhnlich und überraschend die poetische Umsetzung. Mit der Freiheit des Dichters, der unsere Vorstellung von Zeit und Kausalität aufhebt, findet Lorca auf den Grund der Gefühle. Die Liebe und ihr Scheitern, das Leben im Traum und der Traum vom Leben: in keinem anderen Stück ist die Person Lorcas so präsent. 1931, auf den Tag genau fünf Jahre vor seiner Ermordung, hat er es vollendet; eine bittere Ahnung vielleicht. Ein Glücksfall für das Theater ist sein Stück ganz bestimmt.
