"Lili Marleen" de Fassbinder en un cineclub de San Telmo
La cantante alemana de cabaret Willie y el músico Robert Mendelsson están enamorados y quieren casarse. Robert pertenece a la "Haganah", una organización que proporciona ayuda a los judíos amenazados por el régimen nazi.
Su idilio será interrumpido cuando el padre de Robert ve en ese romance un obstáculo para los fines de la organización. Willie es expulsada entonces de Suiza y vuelve a Alemania, donde un jefe de grupo de las SS llamado Henkel se interesa por ella y la contrata como cantante en la taberna de artistas Alter Simpl de Munich.
Allí canta por primera vez la canción Lili Marleen que, grabada en disco durante los primeros días de la guerra y captada casualmente por la emisora militar de Belgrado, acaba convirtiéndose en el hit de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en la plegaria nocturna y el símbolo del deseo de paz de todos los soldados que figuran a ambos lados del frente.
Los protagonistas son Hanna Schygulla y Giancarlo Giannini. Es la última función del año en el club. Se toman reservas únicamente por mail hasta completar la capacidad de 25 asientos.
LILI MARLEEN, de Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Lancaster artist Carol Galligan: "My work is more about stories than art itself"
“My work is more about stories than art itself,” suggested soft spoken Lancaster artist Carol Galligan following an interview concerning her exposition at the Lynden Gallery in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. A trip to China and a spiritual experience with Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism—along with reading Chinese poetry and viewing the country’s poetry left a strong mark on her work. “Perception, not ‘I’ is what is important to the Taoists. The titles to my pieces are quotes from my collection of Chinese poetry. I love the idea that the arts were considered forms of spiritual practice in traditional China. When I’m working in my studio, I refer to this as praying.”
--I guess that explains the name of
the exhibit.
--The
series you saw at Lynden Gallery was originally shown at the Lancaster Museum
of Art under the title “In Search of the Tao.” Years have gone by…I now know that
one does not go ‘in search of the Tao.’ It’s simply everything! Actually, I
wanted to entitle the show as “My Heart is a Taoist.” If there is more to be
said I leave it up to the viewer.”
Galligan’s
in Asian culture began around a decade ago when she began taking courses in
Chinese poetry, art history and brush-and-ink painting at Frabnklin and
Marshall College in Lancaster, previous to her trip to China.
Taoism
traces its origin back to the sixth century BCE and is concerned with the
harmony of opposites, the relationships between the individual and society and
nature. There is also a feminist bent to Taoist philosophy which Galligan finds
illustrative.
The
works exhibited at the Lynden Gallery are in scroll form, reminiscent of
Chinese painting and poetry, while incorporating elements such as ribbons,
strings, pieces of leather. “One of my scrolls, which I exhibited at Harrisburg
Community College a few years back, is 30 feet long.”
We
include with this interview Galligan’s statement on art.

Artist Statement: MY HEART IS A TAOISTS
Taoism is indigenous to China, dating back as early as 500 B.C.. The Taoist understands that ‘being’ is simply
the universe…..the ten thousand living and non-living things in constant
transformation. Taoism is radically
feminist, comparable to practices centered around a Great Mother who
continuously gives birth to all things in the unending cycle of life, death,
and rebirth.
I know very little about China and its history and traditions. However, what little knowledge I acquired has
influenced my work immensely. I was
inspired to visit China. My Heart is a Taoist is an attempt to interpret what I
experienced….a multiple of colors based only on memory; the beautiful ability
to combine numerous patterns and making it work; the attempt to interpret what
I experienced on scrolls, having viewed many scroll paintings by ancient
Chinese painters and poets. I wanted to
see and experience for myself the mountains…..what the painters and poets
experienced that influenced the wonderful work of these artists. Traditional belief was that spirits of the
dead lie in mountains, and virtually every mountain had its resident
‘God.’
The series of
work I produced that followed “In Search of the Tao”, is called “Mountains and Waterways”……another
series based upon memory of my trip to
China. Once I figured out how to go
about painting a mountain, I haven’t stopped.
That was ten years ago. Again,
the influence behind every mountain painting was/is based upon memory. I recall vividly to this day, my trip down
the Li River. I remember being all alone
on the top bridge of the boat that took us down the Li River. Below, several people were enjoying their
dinner, some were singing, others simply drinking their wine and enjoying the
‘party.’
I went up to the top ‘bridge’ of the boat. I was alone.
I could hear the water splashing against the side of the boat. The night was clear and warm. I don’t remember a full moon, but it was a
clear, bright night. THE MOUNTAINS WERE
ASTONISHING!!! I was in awe! That memory has been instilled in me. When I returned home, I knew that one day I
would produced a series of work based upon that one experience. It took a few years of simply working with
colors, patterns, and memory of the courses I took on Chinese painting and
history, but it all culminated in my trip to China. When I returned home, the first series of
work I produced was “In Search of the Tao” which prepared me for the following
series “Mountain and Waterways.”
I have a love for Chinese painting and poetry. Taoists’ poems rarely use the word ‘I’. Perception, not ‘I’ is what is important to
the Taoists. The titles to my pieces are quotes from my collection of Chinese
poetry.
I love the idea that the arts were considered forms of spiritual practice
in traditional China. When I’m working
in my studio, I refer to this as praying.

Versos de luna llena
El espejo
Quisiera ser
un espejo transparente,
Un arcoíris infinito
sobre tu mar,
Una
esperanza de presos liberados
Una rabiosa
tempestad enamorada.
Y no un
simple maestro de nostalgias,
Ayudante
jubilado de penurias ajenas,
Viento
nefasto de otoños lastimados,
Suspiro de
pobres pensamientos pasajeros.
Quisiera ser
un mar calmo, salado y onírico,
Cuyas olas
rompen antiguos decretos en la arena,
Cuyos triángulos
entonan sinfonías arcaicas,
Cuyo rugir
distraído despierta amores olvidados.
Paso mi mano
pesarosa por el espejo sangrante,
Contemplo mi
perfil reescrito, roto y gastado:
Detrás del
vapor emergen furiosos pensamientos
Dibujando en
la espuma viscosa mi alma errante.
La muerte propia
Sobre mi muerte solamente
sabe el sol;
Reposo aquí
envuelto en el pretérito.
Sobre mi futuro solamente saben las estrellas;
Reposo aquí
en solitaria espera.
Canto ahora mi silenciosa canción de amor;
Ella es mi
roca, mi fuente vital.
No lamento el pasado, amor mío;
Nuestra
sangre corre aquí, ahora.
Soplan los vientos, desaparecen los planetas;
Todo es
cambio, todo es movimiento.
Aquí me quedo encantado eternamente;
Libre y contenido
por tu abrazo.
En piedras quedan esculpidas mis palabras;
“El amor es
vida, es eterna, visible e invisible.”
La otra cara del mal
Yo quise ser la
otra cara del mal,
El amante de
flores fúnebres;
Abandoné mi
vida en las sombras,
las espesas y agrietadas paredes,
Los ruidos rudos de las relaciones.
las espesas y agrietadas paredes,
Los ruidos rudos de las relaciones.
El vino
El amor
El dinero
El poder
Coca cola.
Viví abajo en el húmedo oscuro sótano
En las callejones sin nombre,
Abandoné la mucama, dormí en cama eléctrica,
La turba de mi memoria una pilastra de
sueños
Mi alma
muerta sorda, ciega, muerta festejando
Los filósofos
El diablo
Las riberas inestables
Catástrofes simuladas,
Zanahorias orgánicas,
Tu anillo perdido.
