Mariana 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.

by Mariana Ruiz Johnson
The most delicious soup and other stories brings together five stories that take place in the village of Villa Verde, the place where all the characters live and interact. The stories are apparently very simple, yet they offer readers a delicate literary experience woven from references, ways of naming the world, images, and experiences typical of young children. This book, moreover, shares many elements with comics. In fact, we could see it as a comic for very young children, where the author, Mariana Ruiz Johnson, has used nib and Indian ink and digital color to provide readers with images in warm colors and a very rich illustration work with thousands of details for the delight of readers.

Los 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!

Hatless
by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb
Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity. The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless. Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them. So Hatless removes her hat. As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats. Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air. By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens. Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.
