Jorge Donn (Buenos Aires 1947, Lausanne 1992)

Portrait from Maurice Bejart performance period (1964-1988) [possibly in his late 20s], autographed 8 x 10 cm photo, n/d

Donn's [Apollo-Satyre hybrid movement, personality] and good looks drew attention not only to male dancing per se but to the qualities of classical training and classical performance being developed in South America during these years. This South American, mostly Argentinian, achievement has been marginalised unjustly by writers in Europe and North America. Donn united in himself a technique founded on Argentinian training with the drama and athleticism of a dancer for Maurice Bejart in Brussels.

The Library: A Catalogue of Wonders by Stuart Kells

Summary from Goodreads: Libraries are filled with magic. From the Bodleian, the Folger and the Smithsonian to the fabled libraries of Middle Earth, Umberto Eco’s mediaeval library labyrinth and libraries dreamed up by John Donne, Jorge Luis Borges and Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Stuart Kells explores the bookish places, real and fictitious, that continue to capture our imaginations.

books about books are my favourite subgenre of fiction and nonfiction.

What is your opinion on the latest pope statement regarding popegate ("il chiacchiericcio è da donne" = "chit chat is for women")?

Imo, he's either

A. Drugged beyond oblivion. Someone in the Vatican gave him the best stuff available to man straight from his home in south america

B. On his Andrew Tate Sigma male streak trying to hurt as many groups as physically possible.

VERY common Catholic Guy L. Not shocked in the least. Francis's occasional wins are down to him being a Jesuit from Latin America, but that man does NOT drink respect women juice.

More #popegate news: my man Jorge also went and "sent an email" to a gay man in a seminary telling him to "follow his vocation" like he didn't just VERY FAMOUSLY make an entire scene about faggy seminarists 2 weeks ago.

IDK what the hell is going on but it's very amusing to point and laugh at

FACECLAIMS & ETHNITICITÉS

artist : darejani-artist

DEVONS-NOUS RESPECTER ABSOLUMENT LES ETHNICITÉS SUGGÉRÉES POUR LES GRANDES FAMILLES SUZERAINES ?

S'il est préférable de respecter les ethnicités suggérées pour chaque grande famille suzeraine du Royaume nous pouvons comprendre que dans un soucis de ressources, il soit parfois difficile de les respecter. 

Certes, dans un but de représentation (Westeros étant un monde vaste et riche), nous aimerions que le plus de gens puissent être représentés parmi les grandes familles du jeu. 

Ainsi, au moment de choisir votre personnage et la famille, nous vous demandons de faire un minimum d'effort avant de lui choisir une ethnicité différente de celle suggérée (auquel cas d'ailleurs, si une ethnicité différente est choisi, nous changerons alors l'ethnicité choisie par celle représentée, pour favoriser l'intégration de membres futurs et pour rester cohérent.e.s).

De plus, nous tenons à vous rappeler que nous jouons dans un univers fictif et que les ethnicités à proprement parler se compare différemment des nôtres (autant dire que même les ethnicités de Westeros sont fictives). Nous avons les Premiers Hommes, les andals, le style valyrien, les dorniens, les marchiens, les rhoynars, etc. Or, le métissage est donc forcément quelque chose de plus rependu qu'on peut le penser.

Prenons pour exemple le couple royal composé de Daeron II Targaryen et Mariah Martell. Heureux parents de quatre enfants, pourtant, leurs fils ne se ressemblent pas tous physiquement. 

Certains partagent les traits dorniens de leur mère, comme Baelor qui a, selon le lore officiel, des cheveux noirs de jais coupés courts, hérités de sa mère dornienne. Tandis que Maekar, quant à lui décrit comme un homme sévère, puissamment bâti, portant une barbe d'argent pâle parsemée d'or impeccablement taillée, partage le physique typiquement valyrien de la maison Targaryen. Nous souhaitons que cette diversité de physique soit conservée afin de conserver cette idée selon laquelle, puisque les héritiers de la maison Targaryen partagent de plus en plus de traits dorniens (qui, jusqu’à tout récemment étaient des ennemis de la couronne et du royaume), donne une certaine ‘’légitimité’’ aux prétentions de la Maison Feunoyr sur le Trône de Fer.

DÍA DEL BAILARÍN: POR QUÉ SE CELEBRA EN 28 DE FEBRERO

Cada 28 de febrero se celebra en nuestro país el Día del Bailarín, en honor al nacimiento del argentino Jorge Raul Itovich Donn, considerado en todo el mundo como uno de los más grandes exponentes de la danza clásica del siglo XX.

28/02/2024 •

Bailarín y director artístico nacido en El Palomar, Buenos Aires en 1947, Jorge Donn comenzó su formación a los ocho años en el Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colón, siendo alumno de la emblemática coreógrafa y terapeuta de la danza, María Fux.

A los 15 años conoció a Maurice Béjart, una de las figuras de la danza más importante del mundo, quien estaba de gira en el país con el Ballet del Siglo XX. Quedó tan fascinado con el coreógrafo que, al poco tiempo, decidió mudarse a Bruselas. Allí se consagró como intérprete en la compañía de Béjart, que lo tomó como fuente de inspiración para muchas de sus piezas. Fue partenaire de bailarinas rusas de la talla de Maya Plisetskaya y Natalia Makarova y, a partir de allí, adquirió fama internacional.

En 1976 fue nombrado el director artístico del Ballet del Siglo XX y pocos años más tarde, en 1979, fue galardonado con el Dance Magazine Award, el premio más importante de la danza. En 1988 dejó la dirección artística del Ballet del Siglo XX para fundar su propia compañía, L´Europa Ballet.

Aunque era considerado una estrella en todo el mundo, la sociedad argentina de aquella época lo miraba con cierto prejuicio. Su aspecto pelilargo, su manera de hablar, su forma de vestir y sus demostraciones de afecto, resultaban chocantes para el público local.

Ya habiendo triunfado como bailarín en Europa, adquirió su popularidad definitiva en 1982 con el estreno de la película Los unos y los otros, de Lelouche, en la que interpretaba a Boris Itovich (uno de sus apellidos reales), personaje que lo consagraría para siempre por su interpretación del inolvidable Bolero de Ravel. Otros hitos memorables de su trayectoria fueron Bhakti Nijinsky y Payaso de Dios. A los 39 años se lo pudo ver bailando por última vez, en Madrid, donde interpretó el Bolero y Diva.

En 1989 fue premiado por la Fundación Konex, siendo reconocido como uno de los cinco mejores bailarines de la historia en la Argentina. Además, fue uno de los pocos bailarines latinoamericanos elogiado y reconocido por la élite europea del ballet del siglo XX.

Jorge Donn murió el 30 de noviembre de 1992 en Lausana, Suiza, a los 45 años. Luego de su muerte lo homenajearon muchos artistas y bailarines, entre ellos, Maurice Béjart con su "Ballet por la vida".

En Ciudad Jardín, barrio donde nació el bailarín nació, se nombró un pasaje con su nombre.

Ten Books To Know Me

Rules: 10 (non-ancient) books for people to get to know you better, or that you just really like.

Tagged by @landwriter​, whose list I am pillaging for reading tips. In no particular order: 

Paladin of Souls - Lois Bujold. Cordelia Naismith is still my favourite of her characters, but the World of the Five Gods series is so kind. Bujold does religion better than anyone, and in a deeply humanist way. The exact inverse experience of reading Maria Russell’s The Sparrow, though both are phenomenal. 

Labyrinths - Jorge Luis Borges. The short story collection version of someone leaning in and going “would you like to hear a fucked up thought about set theory? No? Time?”

Watership Down - Richard Adams.

I was (understandably, I think) leery of books with rabbits after my Mom insisted that the first time I’d broken down sobbing over The Velveteen Rabbit was a fluke, and I’d misunderstood the point of the book, and then tried reading it to me another two times. I cried every time. HER point is that the bunny became real at the end, so it’s a happy book. MY point is that to the boy, the bunny was real the whole time, and that from his point of view it was essentially one of those horribly moralising 19th century fairy tales where the main character’s best friend dies horribly half way through but they go to Heaven so you’re expected to be happy about it. Except in this case, they’re burned alive. Watership Down was the runner-up for most traumatic childhood book about bunnies, but it made no bones about what it was. It knew when it was being brutal, and did it on purpose and well, and I love it still. It also was one of several deeply formative books for introducing me to my favourite trope: stories-in-stories.

The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien. Yes, I know, everyone’s favourite, etc etc. Still, I read it young enough to sort of grow up along it as a trellis. I can’t put any of my favourite medieval works on this list per the rules, but Tolkien’s the reason I could read them as an adult and go oh, but you’re familiar. Also, the older I get, the more the whole ‘no kindness is ever wasted’ element makes me verklempt. 

Jackalope Wives - T. Kingfisher. I know, it’s not a book, but you’ll forgive me for that once you’ve read it, for free, right here: https://apex-magazine.com/short-fiction/jackalope-wives/

How good was that? Right?

Gaudy Night - Dorothy L. Sayers. I’ve never related to anything or anyone more than Harriet Vane as I read this, belly down on the grass in the Oxford botanical gardens this summer, in the middle of having a Bad Fucking Time romantically. Sayers’ characters are complicated and human, a little too smart for their own good sometimes, and prone to self-sabotage and overthinking. This book is so profoundly good at capturing the absurdities of love, and the negotiations of self that requires, while still being very tender about the whole thing.

American Gods - Neil Gaiman. I’ve never been in the US for longer than three months at a stretch since I was three, and growing up, it was largely mythological to me. America was Where Stories Happen. I read Stardust first, and possibly like Good Omens best of Gaiman’s, but American Gods put words to a lot of the experience of looking at the US from a one-foot-in-the-door-one-foot-out perspective.   

Caedmon - Denise Levertov. Once again cheating, this time it’s a poem:

http://www.southernhumanitiesreview.com/denise-levertov-caedmon.html

I’m also a tremendously basic poetry person in terms of liking Donne, Blake and Eliot. Mmm, weird feelings about God and/or WWI.

The Lacuna - Barbara Kingsolver. Possibly my favourite ending in anything I’ve read ever? I can’t say anything concrete without spoiling it, but the book starts out big, and then, at the end, gets narrower, and narrower down to a fine point, and - look, it’s very good. It has opinions about how we tell stories. The Bean Trees is also very good, though it’s been near a decade since I read that one, and I remember it less.

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley. Look, it has stories within stories, and a big, gothic, sweep of thought and emotion. It feels big, and deep, and bigger and deeper every time I go back.

Special mention because almost everyone who follows me is into Sandman: Doomsday Book - Connie Willis.

Would you like to CRY about the middle ages, and how people were people always and how no kindness is wasted? I bet you would. Maybe only read this if you’re feeling stable about pandemics again, though. I’m giving it another few months personally before going back.

I am, as usual, a tiny bit late to the tagging game and have lost track of who’s already been tagged. HOWEVER, I have a bunch of lovely amazing mutuals and new followers and if you want, please consider yourself tagged (that way I can also see who’s interested in maybe being tagged in the future, and get to know you better?)

"볼레로와 로돌포 비아지"

'탱고스토리 : 우리를 춤추게 한 악단' 책 내용 중 로돌포 비아지(Rodolfo Biagi) 편에서 저자는 그의 음악을 들으면 '라벨 - 볼레로'가 떠오른다며 섹스와 죽음 운운해놨던데, 개인적으론 딱히 공감이 가진 않았다.

비아지 음악이 강박에 가까운 마르까또로 도배��� 있긴 하지만, 그게 볼레로와 뭔 상관인지 납득이 안간다는… 암튼 덕분에 볼레로에 맞춰 추는 두가지 안무를 유튜브로 감상.

우선 1984년 동계 올림픽에서 제인 토빌(Jayne Torvill)과 크리스토퍼 딘(Christopher Dean)의 피켜 스케이팅. 이거는 내가 거의 아는 게 없는 분야라 구글 검색하니 "전설적인 안무"로 엄청 유명하더만. 뒤늦게 유튜브 찾아서 본 소감 또한 문외한이 봐도 이우라가 느껴지긴 했다.

또 하나는 모리스 베자르스가 안무한 실비 길렘(Sylvie Guillem)의 볼레로 공연. (책에는 '실비 김멜'이라 써 있던데 오자인듯?) 이거는 나도 친숙하다. 어릴 때 TV에서 '사랑과 슬픔의 볼레로'란 제목으로 외국 드라마를 방영했기 때문.

오리지널 필름에서 춤 줬던 댄서는 호르헤 돈(Jorge Donn)으로 1992년 45세에 에이즈로 사망.

유튜브 검색하면 이 분 외 여러 댄서가 같은 안무로 공연한 게 있다. 여성 댄서 중에는 마이야 플리세츠카야(Maya Plisetskaya)을 영상을 예전에 본 적 있다. (러시아가 아닌) 소련의 볼쇼이 극장 무용수였고 2015년에 심근경색으로 89세에 사망.

실비 김멜은 잘 몰랐다가 이 책땜에 찾아서 봄. 화질이 좋은 거로 미뤄 아마도 가장 근래에 속하는 공연이 아닐까 싶은…

Also enjoy art/painting, aesthetics, fashion, memes, food and (maybe too much) drink. Lots more that I can’t think of at the moment so maybe a sequel in the future when I feel like being inward-looking again?

Jorge Donn, Bolero-1982.

[tizianacerralovetrainer]

"Ho saputo cosa mio padre aveva fatto tanti anni prima solo nel 1988, quando gli fu fatta visita da alcune donne ebree ungheresi e precisamente quando la signora Lang e il marito si presentarono a casa sua.

Telefonarono qualche giorno prima per fissare un appuntamento; avevano studiato un po' d'italiano apposta per il viaggio in Italia, non semplice, perché il muro di Berlino pur scricchiolante era ancora lì. Vennero in rappresentanza di decine di famiglie salvate a suo tempo da uno strano console spagnolo, Jorge Perlasca.

Raccontarono la loro storia e compresi che mio padre li aveva salvati; ma andarono avanti con il loro racconto e cominciai ad intravedere oltre a loro decine, centinaia, forse migliaia d'altre persone. E devo confessare che entrai in crisi chiedendomi se conoscevo realmente la persona con cui avevo vissuto per oltre trent'anni, la mia età di allora.

Ma un piccolo grande fatto mi aprì gli occhi, mi fece ragionare e pensare a quanto successo: la signora, assieme ad altri piccoli regali, portò tre pacchetti che aprì con grande attenzione ed emozione. All'interno un cucchiaino, una tazzina e un piccolo medaglione: gli unici oggetti, aggiunse, che la famiglia aveva salvato dal disastro della seconda guerra mondiale. Voleva darli a mio padre che però non li voleva prendere: “Signora, deve darli ai figli e poi i figli li daranno ai nipoti a ricordo della famiglia.”

La signora se ne uscì con una frase che ancora oggi mi emoziona: 'Signor Perlasca, li deve tenere lei perché senza di lei non avremmo avuto né figli né nipoti.”

Franco Perlasca
