Books that made me cry Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs by Camilla Townsend Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist Roses in the Mouth of a Lion by Bushra Rehman Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson

GoodRead links, ratings, quotes, and reasons under the cut.

Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs by Camilla Townsend

Goodreads link | 💧💧💧💧💧 (5/5 tears)

"[Shield Flower] had to die as all do, knowing only that to posterity the fates would undoubtedly deal both blessings and trauma; she had to die as all do, hoping that those who came after her would demonstrate the same determination to be strong that she herself had shown."

Why did it make me cry? The themes of sacrifice, legacy, and survival. As a Mexican American who has struggled with identity in environments where assimilation was a matter of physical, social, and financial safety, there is a lot of pain tied to my cultural heritage. And shame.

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

Goodreads link | 💧💧💧💧💧 (5/5 tears)

Thomas looked at her standing with her delicate arms and legs and thought how odd it was that children were small, and that they found this normal. He could not remember being small. What must he look like to her, standing so far above her, holding that murderous hammer? What did it feel like to know you lived or died at the whim of the giants around you?

Why did it make me cry? The usual reasons when it comes to God and human suffering. The beauty of redemption.

Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist

Goodreads link | 💧💧💧💧 (4/5 tears)

"They instinctively knew the rules of crossing. They couldn’t look down or back. They couldn’t speak. They couldn’t run. And they couldn’t stop. To do any of those things would allow the thing below the bridge to come rushing up, to grab the boys and drag them back to its lair. The boys didn’t make the rules, they just knew them and abided by them."

Why did it make me cry? Feist transported me back to childhood, with its wonder and terrors. The focus on feelings of powerlessness and loss of agency during the darker moments resonated and shook something loose.

Roses in the Mouth of a Lion by Bushra Rehman

Goodreads link | 💧💧💧💧 (4/5 tears)

"I had a sudden irrational desire to hug her, but there was so much distance between us. My birth had been only the beginning of our separation, the first time I was cut loose. From that moment until now, I'd just been going farther and farther away, my body a lifeboat pushing into the ocean."

Why did it make me cry? I came out to my deeply religious parents this year. It was not disastrous but I also feel like nothing has changed. I still feel separate from them and struggle to reconcile these two versions of myself. Will I ever be able to be just one person?

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson

Goodreads link | 💧💧💧💧 (4/5 tears)

"The beauty of a thing justified its plunder."

Why did it make me cry? The pain of the characters when they felt rejected, not supported, and not protected. Thinking about strained relationships between parents and siblings.

How does your magic system work?

This post comes out of a lore dump by my DM explaining DND magic through the creation of a magic/anti-magic pair of particles.

So what about in other pieces of media. 1) Diathesis-stress This is a psychological theory suggesting that a condition needs a genetic predisposition, and then exposure to an environmental stimulus (stress) in order for the traits to begin to show

2) Unexplained science e.g. The long earth, To sleep in a sea of stars, Dragonriders of pern This can be good or not, as it can be studied and understood, but it can lead to quite a bad consequence …. the possibility for genetic supremacy

And so I come to my favourite game;

How eugenics is your magic system?

Before I start, I will be discussing mundane vs magical humans, rather than inherently magical beings such as fae, mer, dragons. Although they will be brought in, I am not discussing their species

Genetics - pure eugenics e.g. harry potter Your character has the right genes in order to be able to 'just do it'. if you do not have those genes you will fail, leads to genetic supremacy (you see the relevance of the example)

Genetics - interbred e.g. Percy Jackson You have an ancestor which allows you to use their magic. they have no control over your use of magic, but you can then breed for that trait. (I know that in PJ the power has diminishing returns but it is just to get you thinking)

Genetic - earned/choice e.g. Lord of the Rings, Ingo by Helen Dunmore Although your ancestors interbred you need to choose. in LOTR we know Elrond and Elros had to choose if they chose elf or human. In Ingo (obscure reference but I like it) you have to accept what 'magic' you are doing, but it needs you to have the gene for it.

Genetic - inheritance/cultural e.g Belgarid series by David Eddings, Merlin (TV show) druids There is a genetic element, but if you seek out the relevant god/gods then you can gain magic as well. In these examples the main character is genetic, but we see how culture effects their magic use.

Some - trainable e.g. Earthsea series by Ursula le Guin Lots of people can, but you need to learn to control it through self-control or magic words etc. Earthsea might have everyone being magic, but due to some of the ways the school/education works I want to say there is some people who are better. The way this is different to 'everyone - trainable' is because some people simply can't train at all and people are often said to 'have a gift' and so sent to train more.

Some - random e.g. The fire within by Chris d'Lacy There can be a genetic element, but magic is so unpredictable that it is more like it is magic choosing its hosts. if you have read the whole of the example series you know what I am talking about.

Everyone - but some are better than others e.g. star wars Midi-chlorian count, really? enough said

Everyone - magical onset e.g. Eragon by Christopher Paolini Maybe Eragon is just my theory but in general, every Human has the chance of magic development, but it needs a cause. in Eragon, it needs a dragon, but Roran and Nasuada are able to start controlling their minds from magic-casters, suggesting magic exposure is correlated with how much magic you can do.

Everyone - testable e.g. The bone wich by Rin Chupeco There are types of magic, and people need a threshold to count, but it is a subtle impact on everyone's lives unless you have active control. this example is a good book if you want a more unique look at magic.

Who knows? - trainable e.g Riftwar saga by Raymond e. feist, Diskworld by Terry prattchet you might be magic, lets give you some task and see if you can do it

Who knows? - random e.g Narnia by C.S.Lewis, Inkheart by Cornelia Funke These characters are not shown as 'magic' but they are special for what appears to be no reason whatsoever.

I would love to hear other peoples takes on magic systems, especially is they are not in this list.

and remember, there is no magic

[crowdvscritic]

round up // SEPTEMBER + OCTOBER + NOVEMBER 21

Sad Girl Autumn? Try Busy Girl Autumn! Social activities have returned with a vengeance this Fall (brunch! weddings! concerts!), and with an unusually high workload at my 9 to 5, these monthly Round Ups have been kept like a secret, not like an oath.

But if you’re the mood to be all up in your feelings, there are a number of Sad Girl Autumn recommendations in here that will help you get out a good cry and make you want to bundle up in a chunky sweater. Plus, Saturday Night Live is back, and so is Awards Season (already), so there’s plenty to make you laugh and to give you a big wow. If you want more real-time recs through Awards Season and the holiday season, you can see what I’m watching on Letterboxd and putting on my Must-Watch Holiday Films list. 

September Crowd-Pleasers

1. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

Sure, it succumbs to Marvel’s weakness for big CGI battles in the end, but most of this adventure is cool kung fu with Simu Liu and hijinks with Awkwafina. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 7/10

2. Dead and Company on Tour

I had my first Grateful Dead concert experience, and not only was the music great, it was a prime venue for people-watching. While I’m not brave enough (or willing to pay) to join the devotees who fill the front rows, even lawn seats were worth it for the chill vibes and the musical legends on stage.

3. Twilight soundtracks

Hours of listening for Sad Girl Autumn! In August, I marathoned my way through the Twilight movies; in September, I marathon-ed all of the soundtracks. How movies as dumb as these got some of the coolest and most hipster bands of the ‘00s and early ‘10s to dominate their five soundtracks is beyond me. But somehow you can enjoy Angus & Julia Stone, Beck, The Black Keys, Bon Iver, Death Cab for Cutie, Feist, Florence + the Machine, Iron & Wine, Muse, OK Go, Paramore, Passion Pit, St. Vincent, Vampire Weekend, and more recording their way through a teenage romance of vampires, werewolves, and emo kids. 

4. Nobody (2021)

An action romp starring an unassuming Bob Odenkirk, cool cars, a retro soundtrack, and a still kicking’ Christopher Lloyd. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 6.5/10

5. Stuck in Love. (2012)

Is this my Dumb Rom Com I Nevertheless Enjoyed this month? Though less dumb than my usual pick, Stuck in Love. does earn a special commendation for its dumb title which neither summarizes its story well nor catches a potential viewer’s interest. Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Nat Wolff, and Lily Collins are a broken family dealing with the ins and outs of love (at times with Logan Lerman and Kristen Bell) and with the challenges of writing careers. If you like stories about mopey authors working through their feelings in verse, this will hit you in a sweet spot. And with two Thanksgiving scenes, you know it’s Sad Girl Autumn-worthy. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 7/10

6. Saturday Night Live Season 47

As I always say this time of year: My friends are back! I’m grateful for a gang that consistently makes me laugh, and these have been some of my favorite moments so far: 

“Cars 4” (4701 with Owen Wilson)

“Celeb School Game Show” (4703 with Rami Malek) - I love an excuse for a parade of celeb impressions, and I love that Kenan has become the the go-to cast member to play a game show host

“Prince Auditions” (4703) - The skit I’ve shared most all Fall

“What Up With That” (4704 with Jason Sudeikis) - The reboot I wanted and needed

“Cancelling Cable” (4705 with Kieran Culkin)

“Republican or Not” (4707 with Sims Liu) - Sharp observation comedy at its best

September Critic Picks

1. Rebecca (1940)

The Best Picture Project returns! After kicking off the 1940s with a look at the Academy’s involvement in World War II, I took a look at the decade’s first big winner, Rebecca. Alfred Hitchcock’s lone Best Picture winner still kills 80 years later if for no other reason than Joan Fontaine is having a major Sad Girl Autumn mood.

Crowd review: 9/10

Critic review: 10/10

2. The History of the Sitcom (2021)

One of my favorite things about podcasting about Gilmore Girls pop culture references with my pal Kyla Carneiro is that every episode is about putting something we’re not familiar with in its historical context. CNN’s The History of the Sitcom (which aired this Summer and I caught up with this Fall) uses each episode to put beloved (and a few forgotten) sitcoms in the context of American families, friendships, workplaces, and cultural changes. Extra fun: The talking heads feature someone from almost every show you can think of, including interviews with Jason Alexander, Kelsey Grammer, Norman Lear, Jaleel White, and Henry Winkler, and even people we’ve lost just recently like Ed Asner and Gavin MacLeod.

3. Traffic (2000)

Don Cheadle, Erika Christensen, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Albert Finney, Topher Grace, Catherine Zeta-Jones and more take on the drug trade in the film that earned Steven Soderbergh his Oscar for directing. It’s complicated and heartbreaking with no easy answers, befitting the subject matter. (Keep reading for another Soderbergh/Cheadle/Del Toro collab that’s less heavy and more thrilling.) Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9/10

4. Raise the Red Lantern (1991)

When a man has four wives, you know there will be drama. This Chinese-language drama is an exploration of social politics so high-stakes this moves at he pace of a thriller instead of a romance. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

October Crowd-Pleasers

1. That Thing You Do! (1996)

Tom Hanks directs a cast of young ringers (including Charlize Theron, Liv Tyler, and Steve Zahn) in the the story of a fictional one-hit-wonder group. Come for the band’s catchy single “That Thing You Do!,” and stay for the ‘60s nostalgia, the romance, and the jokes about showbiz and growing up. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 8/10

2. No Time to Die (2021)

I’ve always been more of a Mission: Impossible gal than a Bond Girl, but No Time to Die surprised me with its its refreshing sentimentality for a franchise so insistent on cool detachment. It had the big stunts, nifty gadgets, and sleek finish you expect, but it also had a heart and some of the most beautiful cinematography I’ve seen from 007 yet. Kyla and I also checked out 1973’s Live and Let Die in ep. 110 of SO IT’S A SHOW?, which was flawed fun. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 8/10

3. 21 Jump Street (2012)

Give me more buddy cop movies with the BFF chemistry of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, and give me more comedies with this many jokes. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 7/10

4. Only Murders in the Building (2021-)

A contender for the Girl with the Saddest Autumn: Selena Gomez in a murder mystery comedy co-starring Steve Martin and Martin Short. When a neighbor in their swanky New York apartment building dies, it behooves them to investigate in podcast form. Full of laughs, plot twists, and great Autumn coats, it’s been a minute since a show has made me so impatient for the next episode.

5. Dune (2021)

Let’s switch it up and call this Sad Boy Summer. Timothée Chalamet leads an A-list group (Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, and more) on a beautiful and moody trip through the desert in this sci-fi epic. Depending on your mood, it could be your favorite Crowd-pleaser or your top Critic pick of the year. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 8.5/10 

6. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

This mockumentary about modern vampires starring and co-directed by Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi never exhausts its premise or runs out of jokes, which is probably why there’s a spinoff series heading into season four. Yes, there’s blood sucking, but there are also social politics, roommate squabbles, and old people learning 21st century tech, which are all scenarios Twilight could have benefitted from. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 8/10

7. Road House (1989)

Patrick Swayze is a bouncer taking on a bully zillionaire with a mean roundhouse kick. I mean, doesn’t that sell itself? Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 6/10

8. Music of the Spheres by Coldplay (2021)

While I’ve never stopped loving Coldplay, A Head Full of Dreams and Everyday Life ranked seventh and eighth of their eight studio albums for me. Music of the Spheres feels like the band is beginning to boomerang back to what I love most, like the epic anthems of Viva La Vida and the quiet mourning of Ghost Stories. 

October Critic Picks

1. What’s So Bad About Feeling Good? (1968)

In 1968, Mary Tyler Moore and George Peppard made an airborne virus into a fantasy comedy, and somehow it will put you in a good mood even in 2021. Read my full review at ZekeFilm. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 8/10

2. Paths of Glory (1957)

This moral fable about doing the right thing is anything but morally simplistic, and George Macready’s general is a most hatable villain. Crowd: 7.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

3. Love for Sale by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga (2021)

Bring back big band swing! I didn’t expect six Grammy noms for a throwback album like this, but I love that something so relisten-able and feel-good is being celebrated.

4. Do the Right Thing (1989)

You won’t know how current this story of racial divide aggravated by a hot summer’s day feels 30 years later until you watch it. Spike Lee knows how to jump from tension to comedy and back like nobody else. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

5. The Last Duel (2021)

I may never want to live in the world of the Middle Ages, but I am glad to live in a world where a major studio, some of the greatest movie stars, and a top-tier director want to make a movie as rich and complex and thorny as this one. Read my full review at ZekeFilm. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9/10

6. House of Flying Daggers (2004)

In ep. 111 of SO IT’S A SHOW?, Kyla and I covered our first non-English language pop culture ref, and we’re all about this Chinese martial arts movie with serious autumnal vibes that inspired Shang-Chi. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 9/10

7. Double Feature - French Comedies: Amélie (2001) + The Dinner Game (1998)

Amélie (Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 9/10) is quirky and romantic, The Dinner Game (Crowd: 10/10 // Critic: 8.5/10) is slapstick and socially conscious. Both are hilarious, and both are also very French.

November Crowd-Pleasers

1. The Addams Family Values (1993)

Do we talk enough about how great Joan Cusack is? I say no. I also caught her as the villain in It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie this month, but the Addams let her turn it up to 11, and wow, what a treat to watch her ham it up. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 7.5/10

2. Bleachers on Tour

Whenever you’re ready to head back to live shows, make it one starring people with as much energy as Jack Antonoff with dueling saxophones.

3. Mystic Pizza (1988)

A rom-com as cozy as the sweaters Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts, and Lili Taylor wear for their coming-of-age Sad Girl Autumn. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 7/10

4. Red Notice (2021)

Ryan Reynolds meets Thomas Crown meets Gal Gadot meets James Bond meets Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson meets Indiana Jones. Sue me—I like all those people, so I really don’t care that this movie “should” have been better. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 6.5/10

5. Because He’s Jeff Goldblum by Travis M. Andrews

Full of hilarious footnotes and nice guy anecdotes, this book is exactly what it sounds like: an ode, sometimes in haiku form, to the human meme Jeff Goldblum. If you want a celeb biography in which you learn nothing scandalous and that makes you laugh a lot, this one is ready and waiting for you.

November Critic Picks

1. The French Dispatch (2021)

Wes Anderson’s latest is a movie that made me buy fresh bread and drink coffee at 10 p.m., and honestly I am not sure there is higher praise than that. Read my full review at ZekeFilm.  Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

2. Red (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift (2021)

If Joan Fontaine or Selena Gomez didn’t win Sad Girl Autumn, then we’ll give that award to the “Sad Beautiful Tragic” Taylor Swift for her re-release of Red. Oh, and for the “I Bet You Think About Me” Music video she made with Blake Lively and Miles Teller; the short film she directed for her song “All Too Well” starring Dylan O’Brien and Sadie Sink; and her 10-minute performance on Saturday Night Live. Sounds like somebody else had a Busy Girl Autumn, too, huh?

3. Paper Moon (1973)

In ep. 112 of SO IT’S A SHOW?, Kyla and I con you into listening to the story of and behind Paper Moon, the dramedy starring Ryan and Tatum O'Neal. What Oscar record does this movie still hold? What sad behind-the-scenes stories change how we saw it? And what the heck does it have to do with Lorelai and Rory’s shopping habits? Plus, with a quick look at the history of con people in real life and the movies, you too can learn how to pull fast ones on other people! Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

4. King Richard (2021)

A feel-good sports movie, an authentic family movie, a killer and unexpected Will Smith performance. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 9/10

5. No Sudden Move (2021)

A Steven Soderbergh heist film with an all-star cast (including one actor who just keeps doing the surprise appearance thing that I love) and a plot so complicated I definitely needed to Google it afterward? You can give me these for all time forever. Also, I’ve accidentally attended a mini Benicio del Toro film fest this fall (Traffic, The French Dispatch, and—not on this list—Snatch), and why did I wait so long to do this? Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 9/10

6. The Harder They Fall (2021)

One of the greatest strengths of this film is it knows how cool it looks when a gang of outlaws ride into town on horseback. Its other great strength? Oh, a little cast including Zazie Beetz, Idris Elba, Regina King, Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, LaKeith Stanfield, and lots of “that guys” you’re always happy to see. With slick editing, a percussive soundtrack, and splashy sets, this isn’t a Netflix movie—it’s on a movie on Netflix resuscitating the Western genre. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 8.5/10

Also this Busy Girl Autumn…

I checked out The Bride of Frankenstein for a Zeke Film Admission about classic movie monsters we’ve never met. Who knew she was in only five minutes of her own movie?

Kyla and I got to know Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo on SO IT’S A SHOW? ep. 108, and now we know how all about the puns, the gags, and the jokes, tie in with Gilmore Girls. We investigate where their nicknames came from, how their comedy style is similar to Amy Sherman-Palladino’s, and whether Marty was right about Lucille Ball.

Kyla and I watched every version of A Star Is Born for ep. 109, which are some of my all-time fave films, so I was more than happy to revisit them. 

I reviewed Eternals for ZekeFilm, which…I didn’t hate? But the more I thought about it after the fact, the more it didn’t work for me. Find it and Shang-Chi on my updated MCU rankings on Letterboxd.

On Reading a Writer Whose Politics Appall You

Okay so I *DO* have past experience in reading the works of writers whose politics (conservative/right wing/excessively authoritarian) have pissed me off. Death of the author, yadda yadda. It's entirely possible to like the work of a writer whose real life opinions you have no respect for. (As an example: Christopher Stasheff.)

On the other hand, there always comes a point where I can't read the writer anymore because of the leakage of their worldview into the work. And while I haven't yet read anything too offensive in the works of the writer I'm currently reading, struggling about whether to continue reading it, despite how much I've enjoyed reading it. I've taken steps to unbookmark the fic and unfollow the writer, and I feel a little cranky about it, so have a list of writers I whose works I continued to read despite being Horrible.

Robert Adams: Extremely conservative writer. Hated socialists/communists. Kind of anti-Semitic! Possibly best known (if you are familiar with Seventies and Eighties post apocalyptic sf) for the Horseclans series of novels. I was reading it for the telepathic horses and saber toothed tigers. And the military aspects. Lord knows I wasn't reading them LGBT positive content, because RA was homophobic as fuck all. Somehow I still kept reading this series that not even RA really liked. At least he wrote dynamic and interesting female characters for the most part, unlike...

Christopher Stasheff: Conservative and Catholic author! Hated socialists/communists. Could not write a woman character if his life depended on it. By which I mean they tended to be cliche and slightly cardboard. Male characters were treated most cruelly by mean, mean women who dumped them, until they found that one pure paragon that wasn't like other girls. Or something. Stasheff did the thing where women stayed in abusive relationships not because they were trapped, but because they liked it. Or something.

Raymond E. Feist: has similar trouble with female characters that Stasheff does! But Stasheff's female characters while cliches are not boring. Feist's female characters are written on the thinnest see through paper, and again, are boring. The world building is pretty derivative except for one (1) of his species, the valheru. This did not stop me from devouring most of his Magician series.

Sherri S. Tepper: May or may not have been what we'd call a terf. Kind of ableist, if The Family Tree is any indication. (One of the characters feels that depressed people should go ahead and kill themselves.) I am told that at a convention she once made a really long speech about how people should stop having children. Eugenics proponent and kind of awful! I have hate read several of her books.

Anne McCaffrey: I am only here for the dragons, and not even the dragons because Tent Pegs. (She had some really dreadful and homophobic ideas about gay people. Which kind of shows up in her work, even when she's making an effort NOT to be horribly homophobic.) Eugenics proponent if some of her works are any indication. (Bloodline obsession and eugenics as a positive shows up a lot in her writing.)

This is of course only a very short list. The actual list would probably be much longer. >_>

All I care about is that among all these amazing people having a feist, Christopher was sitting in-between his dad and Buck.

As it should be.

Ugh The rat by The Walkman is also highkey every addicts & enabler theme tune: When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw Now I go out alone if I go out at all Moderation snippet is giving me all the ‘remember when I was addicted to prescription meds for all of my 20s and burned all my bridges and some stepping stones but now subsequently I’m living with the consequences’ good times.

looks like we are Making A Playlist

hold on, here have an excerpt having to do with music:

“Oh,” she said, “I almost forgot.” She leaned forward and opened the glove box, rooted around in it, and procured a CD. “Look what I found.”

It was covered in his handwriting: M1X 4 T3H C74RK3. He’d decorated it with less-than-threes, because he couldn’t draw hearts.

“Oh god, what’s even on this?” he said.

“I don’t know. Put it in.”

He did. The first song was Blind Melon’s “No Rain.”

“Jesus,” he said.

“You put that song on every mix.”

Next was Radiohead, “Creep,” and after that, “Kid A.” He continued skipping through. Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground, Guided by Voices, Wilco, Lou Reed again, Sonic Youth, Spiritualized, the Cure, more Lou Reed. No finesse in the song order whatsoever, completely stream-of-consciousness.

“This is depressing,” he said. “You don’t even like this stuff. Why did I make this for you?”

“You were showing me what you liked. You told me I had bad taste in music.”

“I said that?”

“Not in those words. You said you were going to ‘educate me.’”

“That’s worse.”

When they’d started dating, she was obsessed with John Mayer and Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz and all those other J-named acoustic soft bros. When she was feeling edgy she listened to Evanescence and Coheed & Cambria. She upgraded eventually to the Arctic Monkeys and Vampire Weekend and the Black Keys and Feist. She genuinely enjoyed Taylor Swift, the Jonas Brothers, One Direction. And there was an entire month she listened to “Hey There Delilah” on repeat. That was probably what bothered him most — she had no taste, no singular aesthetic. Her identity was not dependent on the media she consumed. She liked a little bit of everything, and had no shame about any of it. They went to movies and, while Bellamy would leave the theater tearing the film apart based on pacing and direction and characterization, Clarke would suck the dredges of her Coke Icee and say, “I thought it was neat.”

It enraged him then. Now he could see how utterly un-pretentious she was. Earnest, forthright, open-minded. She could appreciate and enjoy anything, and she loved to listen to people talk about the things they were interested in. For years, they listened only to his depressing ‘90s grunge and alternative rock, and he genuinely believed she loved it, too. She paid such close attention to him, what he liked, what made him happy; he never offered her the same careful scrutiny in kind. She wanted to understand him. He had been so right in loving her, but wrong in his reasons why. 

He ejected the CD. “What have you been listening to lately?”

Head of Production | Internationales Sommerfestival Kampnagel | 2021

Dear guests, now that, here in Hamburg at least, there are more vaccinated people than rapid antigen pop-up test centers, an end to the pandemic is imaginable and the next Summer Festival is in sight: the program is online - and it is anything but a slimmed-down version. Breezing along on the tailwind from last year (where we were able to hold a complete, corona-safe festival), we stoically continued planning, enduring lockdowns, exhaustion and every phrase that starts with "home". This was not without the support from artists who continued working during the crisis, creating new, alternative perspectives for the future - and this festival, about which you will know basically everything after the following 1.925 words.

We start on August 4 with a world premiere from Canadian artist (Leslie) Feist. Like all musicians, she literally lost her stage to the virus. So, Feist wrote new songs and thought about how to get back to performing, together with stage designer Rob Sinclair (who also designed David Byrne's AMERICAN UTOPIA, one of the most brilliantly staged concert of recent years). MULTITUDES is the result and is Feist's offering to the audience to reconquer the stage, together and mindfully, in an intimate setting with her and her new songs. Communal joy! Togetherness! Just like the slogan of this year’s festival. Our community of the living, however, especially in the pandemic, constantly faces the deceased. In REQUIEM: FIRE IN THE AIR OF THE EARTH, Kyle Abraham reminds us of the dead in such a rousing way that it is clear to see why he is one of the most exciting American choreographers today: Abraham casually switches from the ballet pose to the hip-hop move and offers a Black perspective on the present - and on the classic of Western mourning music: Mozart's REQUIEM. The funeral mass sounds impressively new here, in a futuristic version by club music avant-gardist Jlin. The Lacrimosa from the REQUIEM, in a sense Mozart's musical "light at the end of the tunnel," also features at an earlier point in the festival, as a leitmotif in the pharmaceutical setting of Christoph Marthaler's new theater production DAS WEINEN (DAS WÄHNEN) (Crying (The Vaining)), based on texts by Swiss artist Dieter Roth. The much-raved play of the hour or "Marthaler at his best" (Deutschland Radio) represents the summit meeting of two Swiss artists who have found the extraordinary in the everyday, expanding the concept of art and consolidating an axis between Hamburg and Switzerland. Dieter Roth, who shaped and changed the art of the 20th century with paintings from mould and sculptures from chocolate, set up an entire museum of his own works spanning his creative period in a Hamburg villa before his death. Simply called Dieter Roth Museum, this is where the festival journey continues: we have asked interdisciplinary artists such as Annika Kahrs and Felix Kubin to engage with Roth's work in the form of an audio guide through the Roth Museum. It is a pathos-free kind of soulful humor that connects Roth and Marthaler; and that also characterizes the work of Swiss artist Thom Luz. Asked how he would describe what his and Christoph Marthaler's works often have in common, Luz said: "Whenever something is missing or language is not enough, people start singing." This notion is depicted in his through-composed theatre production LIEDER OHNE WORTE (Songs Without Words), showing how people can survive crises and accidents with wit and a great deal of music. Being human, it's not easy - but easier to cope with in Swiss dialect, as the supergroup Dino Brandão, Faber and Sophie Hunger show us with their album ICH LIEBE DICH (I Love You): "Ich ha probiert mich selbst zsi, aber ich han g'merkt es isch de Horror" sings Faber with melancholic self-irony („I tried to be myself, but realized it was horror”). The trio is one of four collaborations with and in our little partner venue at the harbor, Hamburg’s new landmark Elbphilharmonie (which will also host performances featuring our friends from North America Martha and Rufus Wainwright, stargaze with the Dirty Projectors and the Turkish music avant-gardist Gaye Su Akyol).

But back to dialect: Robert Walser wrote his play DER TEICH (The Pond) in Bärndütsch (Bern dialect). It is the story of a young boy who, feeling unloved, fakes his own suicide. The play is staged by Gisèle Vienne, a theatre art specialist for mental abysses, in a French translation with German surtitles - and a sensational acting duo: Ruth Vega Fernandez and Adèle Haenel ("Portrait of a Lady on Fire"). A disturbingly delightful chamber play that can also be read as a commentary on the psychological strain experienced by families during the pandemic. The view on another species under psychological strain is directed by Norwegian how-to-improve-theater-group Susie Wang. In their latest work LICHT UND LIEBE (Light and Love), a German couple with sunburn finds itself in the vacation spot of their dreams. This bliss doesn't last long, however, in the Ibsen Award-nominated play, quickly unravelling into a parable of the longing for vacation, exoticism and normality in times of a pandemic. Festival regular Miet Warlop brings us a similar kind of bitterly-wicked theatre, certainly not suitable for those audiences who enjoy dozing off during performances. With AFTER ALL SPRINGVILLE, she presents a new staging of one of her greatest form and color spectacles, which has seen her conquer European stages for the past decade. Expect moving tables and exploding fuse-boxes galore. From this point, it is only a small step into real magic, provided by Hamburg's magician of all magicians, Manuel Muerte, under the more-than-fitting title ILLUSIONS. Yes, yes, we love to entertain you too. And that's why we're now leaving the festival grounds of Kampnagel and heading to the epicentre of entertainment, St. Pauli and the legendary club Uebel&Gefährlich. There, the queer Austrian guerrilla folk-theatre group Nesterval transports Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks into the informal subculture, supported by the Kampnagel karaoke veteran group Queereeoké: SEX DRUGS & BUDD'N'BROOKS is an elaborate, immersive entertainment show, suitable even for people who find it impossible to connect Thomas Mann or theatre at all with fun. From the North German merchant saga, the festival moves on to the former Kaufhof warehouse in the city centre. Left empty by the pandemic, it will be occupied by the Hamburg headphone performance specialists LIGNA with a new performance piece running for three weeks: DIE GESPENSTER DES KONSUMISMUS (The Ghosts of Consumerism) is a performative journey through a part of Hamburg's history and into the future of inner-cities. In times of social distancing, these areas have become problem zones and sources of contagion, just like proximity, togetherness and coming together; in other words, elements that constitute our very society. In THIS IS NOT NORMAL, summer festival legend Juan Dominguez, together with Arantxa Martínez, will bring interpersonal closeness back to the city centre, through their performance of living sculptures in public places. This piece is one of a total of 14 outdoor projects which will see the summer festival play throughout the city, as part of Hamburg’s culture summer: With the HAMBURG SEA WOMEN PARADE, Geheimagentur presents an overdue feminist perspective on seafaring; Yolanda Gutiérrez and artists from former German colonies intervene at the Bismarck Monument on St. Pauli; Rimini Protokoll turn the city into a stage with artistic audio walks; A Wall is a Screen project short dance films on building facades throughout Hamburg; and Abhishek Thapar gives a voice and a face to invisible, exiled kitchen helpers in Hamburg's restaurants: BELASTBAR UND SAUBER, DRINGEND GESUCHT (Resilient and Clean, Urgently Needed) is being realized as part of the EXIL HEUTE program with the Körber Foundation and uses a local example to open up a global perspective on the pandemic. There it is again, the pandemic, because rarely has the connection between local restrictions and global movement been made so clear to us as in the case of infection - and climate change. At the end of the day, we are a global community, and what is happening in the Amazon right now affects us as well, no doubt. Brazilian artist Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha tells us about this with her techno-shamanistic piece ALTAMIRA 2042, in which she gives a voice to an endangered river from the Brazilian rainforest, creating a feminist vision of the future for the year 2042.

The future, another pandemic topic, not only because of the hypothetical course of infection curves and intensive care bed capacities, but also because of the digitalisation of life, thinking, working, everything. A topic where there are lots of different views to be heard, but which suffers from a male dominance that often leads to the marginalisation of more interesting voices. That's why we're hosting our opulent conference, THE FUTURE OF CODE POLITICS, where feminist programmers and groups like Indigenous AI, Google-fired AI specialist Timnit Gebru, or Africanfuturism author Nnedi Okorafor will come together to discuss the ecological consequences and decolonisation of technologies. And because we are sort of serious curators, there will also be some appropriate artistic works on the complex topic of digitalisation. But don't worry, no online theatre, but rather a virtual reality piece I AM (VR) from forward-looking theatre artist Susanne Kennedy, which will let visitors meet a digital oracle of Delphi. Or an international hack-a-thon by visual artist Christoph Faulhaber. And from Hamburg artist Kotkta Gudmon, there is a walk-in installation at the harbour and an elaborate virtual reality staging in the main church of St. Katharinen. Speaking of churches: there's light at the end of the tunnel, not only musically with Mozart, but also with two concerts in St. Gertrud’s Church near Mundsburg. First with Graindelavoix, the avant-garde vocal ensemble for early music from Antwerp. You won't hear a better or more thrilling interpretation of Renaissance polyphonic vocal music than in their concert production THE LIBERATION OF THE GOTHIC. And Michael Schönheit, the Leipzig Gewandhaus organist himself, is coming to St. Gertrud’s Church to discover the contemporary organ, infused with the spirit of improvisation together with the young indie music artist P.A. Hülsenbeck.

So now we’re up to 8837 characters; but to be fair, it is the most extensive summer festival to date with 13 world premieres, of which 5 are major pieces on stage. A festival with a long preface – and with productions showing that art can only be relevant for the future if it is aware of the present. That also applies to the last example from the festival program and the grand hall k6: four works of style-defining choreographers combined on one evening for and by the Ballet national de Marseille, newly under the direction of the summer festival heroes (LA)HORDE: Lucinda Childs, the icon of postmodern dance, meets the form-stressing expressionist Tânia Carvalho, meets France's ballroom great Lasseindra Ninja, meets Belfast social realist and last year's Summer Festival highlight Oona Doherty.

Finally, we would need another four-digit amount of words to introduce this year’s biggest festival venue: the AVANT-GARDEN, Hamburg's most beautiful art leisure park, designed by JASCHA&FRANZ, featuring resident artists JAJAJA, and delicious delights from the Kampnagel house-and-heart restaurant Peacetanbul. On several stages there will be a daily changing, sprawling programme including concerts by album-of-the-year-title-predecessors like Sophia Kennedy, book presentations by Johanna Adorján or Juliane Liebert, the classic format SOLICASINO by Migrantpolitan and several performances by festival-evergreen Canadian musician Josh "Socalled" Dolgin. And by the way, on weekends there is always an avant-garde-can-be-fun children's program in the afternoon.

Great, so you've read all 1.912 words till now but are still confused. Then please, just think again with Swiss serenity of Robert Walser, who, according to Thom Luz, is said to have uttered during a walk through Hamburg: "Theatre should calm the too confused and confuse the too calmed." The fact that there are people and institutions who concur with that sentence and support our festival through ideological and financial sponsorship is a great good fortune and the reason why we are able to carry out our work at all. Thank you!

And to you guests who have read this far (or skipped to the end of the text): you’re our favourites anyway and we are looking forward to seeing you in the garden very soon,
