Asian Conductors
Asian conductors have made significant contributions in the classical music world for many years. Kent Nagano and Tadaaki Otawa (Japan) and Myung-Whun Chung (South Korea) among others. In this edition of In Conversation we look at two titans of the classical stage whose impact has been immense for close on fifty years. However, a new generation of talent is immerging so we pick two conductors who…

there's something very funny about wymack recruiting neil and seeing him as this jumpy, cagey asf kid with alarmingly absent parents and then watching him befriend the monsters, speak three languages, start fights with riko moriyama, be incredibly apathetic to violence, join the perfect court and reveal that he uses alcohol as pain reliever because it's too dangerous for him to go to a hospital, unite the team and fall in love with wymack's other problem child, all for him to turn out to be the son of kengo moriyama's right hand man.
#AND TO ALSO PUT TOGETHER THAT NEIL HAS KNOWN ABOUT KEVIN BEING HIS SON FOR MONTHS#you know he had to be like shit#no more mafia kids#how many of you are there#aftg#neil josten#nathaniel wesninski#david wymack

Ópera baseada no livro de Michael Cunningham e no filme de 2002. Comissionada por “Metropolitan Opera” e “The Philadelphia Orchestra”.
Poderosa história sobre três mulheres de diferentes épocas que lutam com seus demônios internos e seus papéis na sociedade. Três mulheres que estão ligadas pela obra-prima seminal de Woolf - uma que o está escrevendo, outra que o está lendo e uma terceira que aparentemente está vivendo sua trama.
O cenário tripartite desta ópera é um aspecto essencial de sua história. O primeiro local é Richmond, um subúrbio tranquilo de Londres onde Virginia Woolf viveu com seu marido, Leonard, enquanto escrevia Mrs. Dalloway em 1923. O segundo cenário é Los Angeles em 1949, onde Dan e Laura Brown estão lutando para se conformar com uma vida suburbana americana adequada em meados do século. O terceiro cenário é Manhattan, no final do século 20, onde Clarissa Vaughan se prepara para dar uma festa para o poeta Richard, que enfrenta os últimos estágios da AIDS.
The MET: Quando Philip Glass compôs a partitura para a versão em filme de The Hours, ele escolheu enquadrar as três histórias com a mesma linguagem musical, mas parece que você adotou uma abordagem diferente.
Compositor Kevin Puts: Inicialmente, eu não tinha certeza de quão abertamente eu queria estabelecer os três períodos de tempo diferentes, mas isso acabou acontecendo naturalmente. A música da Virgínia tem uma qualidade muito sobressalente, quase barroca, com a harmonia sempre se subvertendo de formas que você não espera. Eu queria que a sensação de instabilidade em sua música refletisse a complexidade de sua mente e os caminhos imprevisíveis que ela percorre em sua escrita. Então para Clarissa, que está em Nova York nos anos 90, a música tem uma vibração urbana, talvez com raízes em alguns dos compositores americanos pós-minimalistas que eu amo. Mas para Laura, que se sente presa em uma vida que não é autêntica, eu queria, ao invés disso, retratar um ambiente - esta suposta felicidade doméstica suburbana - que é estranho a ela. Portanto, ela tem um brilho inspirado na música daquela época. Com o tempo, as três começam a cantar juntas, culminando em um trio final no qual finalmente se descobrem fora da realidade.
Diretor Phelim McDermott concebeu uma série de pequenas salas que flutuam dentro e fora do palco, fazendo uma transição perfeita de um período para outro - ao mesmo tempo em que também permite que várias histórias sejam reproduzidas simultaneamente. "Musicalmente, você pode ouvir os mundos se confrontando uns com os outros", diz ele. "Quando um entra em foco, o outro está desaparecendo e ecoando, ou ainda está presente como um sonho na mente de outra pessoa. E as peças do cenário funcionarão da mesma maneira. Muito da história é sobre a vida interna destas mulheres, suas paisagens emocionais internas, então a dança que a coreógrafa Annie-B Parson está criando é como o clima emocional de uma cena, acrescentando uma metáfora visual ao que a música está fazendo".
"Sempre tive a convicção de que uma ópera deve ser escrita apenas quando precisa ser cantada - a emoção é tão grande que falar não é suficiente. E é exatamente isso que temos aqui. Apesar de lidar com a morte de frente, na verdade ela é uma afirmação de vida e conta uma história intemporal. As lutas dos personagens são compartilhadas universalmente, e destacando-as através das diferentes personalidades e períodos, todos os que assistem a ela serão capazes de encontrar uma parte de si mesmos na história". - Joyce DiDonato

Personagens Principais - Clarissa Vaughan: editora de livros em Nova York em 1999. - Virginia Woolf: autora do livro Sra. Dalloway, na Inglaterra em 1923. - Laura Brown: dona de casa e mãe, em Los Angeles em 1949. - Richard: o amigo de Clarissa.
Sinopse A ópera se realiza em um único dia. Clarissa está na cidade de Nova York em 1999. Virgínia está em Richmond, Inglaterra, em 1923. Laura está em Los Angeles, em 1949.
Ato I O coro, representando os pensamentos de Virgínia, mexe com a frase de abertura do romance em que ela está trabalhando, Mrs. Dalloway.
Clarissa e sua parceira Sally estão preparando seu apartamento em West Village para a festa de hoje celebrando o melhor amigo de Clarissa, Richard, um escritor que está morrendo de AIDS. Sally duvida que Richard esteja bem o suficiente para comparecer, mas Clarissa se recusa a aceitar o péssimo estado de saúde de Richard.
Clarissa, evitando a ansiedade em relação ao Richard, parte para comprar flores para a festa. Ela se encanta com as maravilhas da Praça Washington e fica intrigada com o canto do outro mundo do Homem Sob o Arco. Ela se encontra com Walter, um escritor que compartilha as dúvidas de Sally sobre se Richard estará bem o suficiente para sua festa.
Virginia Woolf acaba de acordar e entrar em seu estúdio, ansiosa para começar seu novo romance. Enquanto observa seu marido, Leonard edita rascunhos, ela reflete sobre os muitos papéis que ele desempenha em sua vida.
Clarissa entra na floricultura e Barbara, a florista, a cumprimenta com um beijo. Clarissa escapa para uma fantasia momentânea na qual Barbara é sua amante e elas nunca têm que sair da loja. Ela encontra as flores perfeitas e sai em busca de Richard.
Em seu estúdio, Virgínia acha difícil começar a trabalhar em seu romance. Ela se distrai com os pensamentos de Londres e sua agitação, contrastando estas visões com os subúrbios sem vida de Richmond. Apesar de seus receios de sucumbir à depressão, ela começa a escrever, e ela flui.
Em sua cama em Los Angeles, Laura Brown está lendo Mrs. Dalloway que Virginia está escrevendo. Laura teme enfrentar seus deveres de esposa e mãe, já que hoje é o aniversário de seu marido Dan e seu jovem filho Richie está esperando por ela lá embaixo. Ela se afasta de sua ansiedade, voltando para Mrs. Dalloway.
Laura entra em sua cozinha para encontrar seu enérgico marido Dan e seu filho Richie de seis anos preocupado com ela. Ela tenta convencê-los de que está bem, mas internamente agoniza sobre seus medos e inseguranças. Dan, inconsciente da gravidade das lutas dela, sai para o trabalho.
Clarissa está irritada com as dúvidas de Sally sobre a saúde de Richard e se pergunta se Sally é a melhor opção para ela. Virginia percebe que uma personagem de seu romance deve morrer, mas não tem certeza de quem. Laura se debate com a tarefa de fazer um bolo de aniversário com Richie enquanto controla sua ansiedade.
A caminho da casa de Richard, Clarissa pára na esquina onde, anos atrás, ela terminou a relação romântica nascente deles, rompendo-a usando uma frase cruel que ela agora lamenta. Ela reflete sobre como uma frase pode mudar o curso de uma vida.
Clarissa chega ao apartamento de Richard para se certificar de que ele se lembre da festa. Richard, frágil e esquecido, diz a ela que não consegue encarar a festa, mas ela se atira a ele, dizendo-lhe que ele precisa se esforçar mais. Ele releva a ela que às vezes ele ainda os imagina como amantes.
Na cozinha de Laura, sua ansiedade aumenta quando ela tenta assar o bolo com Richie. Virginia pergunta a sua cozinheira, Nelly, se ela acredita que uma jovem mulher poderia começar o dia alegremente e depois decidir se matar. Isto leva Virginia a uma fantasia suicida que prefigura a forma como ela acabará por terminar sua própria vida.
Kitty, vizinha de Laura, visita e diz a Laura que talvez esteja com câncer. Laura escapa para uma fantasia romântica sobre Kitty. Ao sair dela, ela se vê beijando Kitty enquanto ela a consola. Virgínia, muito ansiosa para escrever, decide ir para o mundo.
Clarissa volta para casa para encontrar Sally ocupada preparando a festa, concentrada em preocupações práticas sobre os assentos. Clarissa tem a sensação de que algo está terrivelmente errado com Richard e volta para o apartamento dele. Virgínia, tomada pela necessidade de fugir, não sabe se deve pegar o trem para Londres ou terminar sua vida no rio. Laura sente uma necessidade desesperada de fugir de sua sufocante vida doméstica e deixa Richie com a babá, dirigindo em direção a Pasadena, sem saber onde ela vai parar. As três mulheres estão unidas em sua necessidade de escapar e em seu terror pelo que podem encontrar.
Ato II Laura se vê em uma cama em um quarto de hotel, com um frasco de comprimidos e o livro Mrs. Dalloway. Ela não sabe porque está ali ou o que fará agora: matar-se ou ler o livro. Ela tenta se recompor na última hora, lembrando-se de uma interação surreal com a recepcionista do hotel.
Laura lê Mrs. Dalloway, conjurando Virgínia, que é vista se aproximando do rio - talvez para se matar? Laura também contempla o suicídio. Virginia está momentaneamente distraída pela voz do Homem Sob o Arco. Leonard chega e diz à Virgínia que estava convencido de que desta vez a encontraria morta, e que teria que dizer à irmã dela, Vanessa, que ele havia falhado. Virgínia está comovida com a profundidade da preocupação dele.
Clarissa está voltando para a casa de Richard quando escuta um ensaio de coro de igreja. A letra deles parece escrita para ela. Fora do apartamento de Richard, ela encontra Louis, o ex-namorado de Richard, que está debatendo se deve ou não visitá-lo. Ele recorda o verão que os três passaram em Wellfleet, desencadeando um flashback retratando a delirante proximidade que Clarissa e Richard uma vez tiveram, uma proximidade que excluía Louis.
Virginia, de volta ao seu estúdio, ouve vozes de crianças e se pergunta se ela está perdendo a cabeça. Ela vai ao seu jardim para encontrar sua irmã Vanessa e seus três filhos realizando um funeral para um pássaro moribundo. Quando Virginia faz maniacamente uma sepultura para o pássaro, Vanessa percebe a gravidade da doença de sua irmã. No quarto do hotel, Laura se castiga por considerar suicídio quando tem um filho pequeno e outro a caminho. Ela está determinada a permanecer viva e a enfrentar seus deveres maternais.
Clarissa entra no apartamento de Richard para encontrá-lo em pé no parapeito de sua janela. Ela está aterrorizada, mas ele parece finalmente estar em paz. Enquanto ela tenta convencê-lo a desistir, ele explica que tudo o que ele queria era escrever algo bom, algo que pudesse tocar alguém. Ele diz a Clarissa que a ama e salta pela janela, caindo para sua morte na rua abaixo.
Enquanto Clarissa corre para o corpo quebrado de Richard, o coro incorpora o curto-circuito psíquico dela, remontando imagens e palavras do dia. Laura se recompõe para deixar o hotel e dirige pela via expressa de Pasadena. Virginia, no túmulo do pássaro, percebe que sua sanidade está se esvaindo. Todas as três mulheres parecem estar se afogando.
Laura pega o Richie na casa da babá, a Sra. Latch. Richie diz a sua mãe que estava com medo de que ela tivesse desaparecido porque ela tinha algo "crescendo dentro dela", que foi o que ele ouviu Kitty dizer. Na mesa de jantar de Woolf, Virginia agradece a Leonard pela felicidade que ele lhe deu. Dan volta para casa para comemorar seu aniversário e expressa o quanto sua família o fez feliz. Os amigos de Richard se reúnem em sua festa, agora um velório. Sally tenta convencer Clarissa de que ela fez tudo o que podia por ele. Clarissa percebe que sua falha em reconhecer o terrível estado físico e mental de Richard pode ter contribuído para sua morte. A mãe de Richard, Laura, chega à festa e tenta expressar pesar por seus fracassos como mãe.
Enquanto os outros recuam, Clarissa, Laura e Virginia se encontram em um espaço que transcende o tempo e o lugar, onde finalmente podem se perceber. Elas se espantam de que o tempo todo, enquanto viajavam por seus dias sentindo-se sozinhas, havia outras que sentiam o mesmo, influenciando e sendo influenciadas por outras de maneiras que elas não conseguiam entender.

Hey just to ruin your day I want you guys to remember that before Drake in the second book Andrew had been making genuine steps towards recovery even if we didn’t get to see it very closely
Andrew being on his meds for the first and second book make it hard to see, especially since we didn’t meet him before he was on his meds but it can be inferred that he was making real progress on reclaiming his autonomy
He went to therapy regularly in which he actually talked to and got along with his therapist. He was able to have an ongoing relationship with Roland, and even though he insisted on using handcuffs that’s actually a healthy coping mechanism (he was able to recognise a problem which caused him distress aka people touching him without permission and applied a non-harmful solution which allowed him to continue without running away that’s the definition of learning to cope), he was not actively self-harming which we know by the fact that he has scars, not wounds, scratches or anything else, just healed scars. He was also able to accept and embrace his sexuality despite his history. He still has suicidal ideation but he is no longer practicing suicidal tendencies, which is genuinely huge progress
His biggest issues during the book are his meds (which seem to make it harder for him to regulate his emotions and his reactions and therefore causes him to the extreme measures which are familiar to him aka violence) and his relationship with Aaron/Kevin caused by an unhealthy desire to protect people. He was making an actual recovery, albeit a slow one, which just makes what happens to him all the more horrible
During the second book it had been seven years since he experienced that kind of abuse, seven years in which he clearly was slowly getting better only to be retraumatised again
Just
I think about this all the time I need to inflict this onto someone else
#all for the game#aftg#putting the psychology knowledge to use with this one#psychoanalysing my faves#don’t get me wrong he was still very mentally ill in the first books#like he had issues to work through fr#but he was getting better#andrew minyard#neil josten#he’s not mentioned here but they’re a matched set#aaron minyard#kevin day

i would love to know which of the crazy ass boys gang would indulge a partner who watches reality tv? whose getting just as invested and angry and who is standing to the side saying it’s dumb and fake? (i know it’s kevin)
❥ who grins and bares it so they can bond with you ❥
Billy Loomis - This is just a bonding activity for Billy. It’s not awful. Nor is it the most fun thing in the world. It’s just one of those tiny moments that relationships are built off. The small bids for connection that build intimacy. You don’t bitch when he wants to watch Psycho for the sixth time in two months. He doesn’t bitch when you turn on trashy TV. He pulls you close, so that you’re sitting in his lap, or laid up against him, and pays enough attention to ask you the odd question or two to clarify what’s going on if he gets lost. What do you mean they switch couples?? When did they start doing that? Last week… oh I bet Luca was pissed.
David Mccall - David is obnoxious because he pretends to be the type who is upset when you watch without him. He’ll come home, glance at the TV and gasp dramatically: Baby! Why are you watching our show without me?! How far along are you? You watched an entire episode? You know better than that, baby! You gotta rewind it, hold on, I’ll order us some pizza. Can’t believe you’d watch behind my back! This is a ridiculous pantomime that you may or may not pick up on. Mileage varies as always. David couldn’t care less about the reality TV shows you watch. But he likes the way you giggle as you rewind it for him. Or the way you light up when you’re discussing it with him. You used to spend way too much time talking with your friends about this stupid crap. Now you talk to him. Who gives a shit about whatever mindless little thing you’re watching. What David enjoys is your undivided attention.
Jason Dean/JD - JD also sees this as a bonding activity and bid for connection… However, JD is a born hater. He bonds by talking shit. He’s not necessarily trying to be a bummer about the things you enjoy. He’s just a certified yapper when it comes to shit-talking. If he thinks something is stupid he just can’t sit in silence. This is his most underdeveloped life skill. He’s got ten minutes of quiet in him max. If he does manage to bite his tongue his face gives him away anyways. So what was the point? Will say something pretentious like: “Why are we watching people play out a badly scripted version of their lives through a screen when we could be out living ours, right now? Let’s hop on my bike and just ride, darling! Live a little!” Sir, I just worked an eight hour shift. I need to see someone who doesn’t deserve a rose get sent home in tears. Read the room. Get a grip.
❥ who is pissed off/devastated when you watch it without them ❥
Sebastian Valmont - What can he say? Sebastian likes to watch people experience psychological torment. He’s trying to turn on the first seasons of “America’s Next Top Model" and watch a girl get sent home in tears after the judges convinced her to shave her head bald to look more fierce.This is the type of quality reality TV that makes Sebastian laugh. Watching people go through their darkest moments in front of a camera that highlights the creases in their cheap makeup is how he likes to spend the occasional date night. You had to put him onto reality tv shows, but now he’s hooked. He probably watches more reality TV than you do. If we’re being honest. You think this might be how he gets to still live out his glory days of being an unrepentant asshole. Sometimes he sighs a little too wistfully when someone is being a monster.
Jordan Li - Jordan enjoys anything you do together. Even if they hate a particular activity, at least they’re spending time with you. Still, there are reality TV shows that Jordan really likes, such as: home improvement shows, “Say Yes to the Dress'', “Face Off”, “American Ninja Warrior”, and “RuPaul's Drag Race”. And then there are shows that Jordan puts on a brave face about. Things like “Love Island” and “Jersey Shore”. Jordan gets queasy just scrolling past them. There was a time before they became one of Brink’s favorites that their parents kept pushing them to try and be an entertainment Supe. No one is taking you that seriously, anyways! Maybe you’ll do better in the reality TV circuit. It’s unlikely Jordan will ever get stuck in projects like that now. They’ve proven they can be a heavy hitter. Proven that they’re strong enough to not need to sell themselves as cheap, easily-digestible, entertainment. Still, they don’t like thinking of the alternate world where they’re having to sit in front of a camera and do twenty retakes of “authentic” confessional room venting.
Stu Macher - He likes reality TV and doesn’t care who knows. Hooray! A shared interest… except watching these shows with him will piss you the fuck off. He has dog-shit opinions about everything. You will never be rooting for the same people. You will never agree on who handled a situation better. He’s always rooting for the asshole, it seems. You don’t even think he’s doing it to be contrary or to make you mad. He’s genuinely on their side (most of the time… he does enjoy making you mad.) Watching reality TV with Stu makes you want to kill him. It also makes you look at him funny. Why are you always siding with the bastards? You don’t think Ekin-Su needed to apologize? Stu, are you out of your fucking mind?
Josh Washington - You’re gonna try to tell me that the twins weren’t making him paint toenails while they pulled all nighters of “The Bachelor”? Sure, okay, if you’d like to believe that. And his inner circle consists of Emily and Jess? Please. He’s been watching trashy TV for years. He’s watched a little of everything. He is so well acquainted with the dark underbelly of reality TV that it would roll over for a tummy rub from him. It knows his scent. He can easily keep track of the names, faces, and plots. Who’s fucking who. Who hates who. Who’s forming secret alliances. You’ll probably be more lost than Josh ever gets. He’s a day one. He’s an OG.
❥ who is pissed off to even be hearing about it second-hand ❥
Sparrow!Ben Hargreeves - He has better shit to do than watch reality TV show crap all day, and so do you. These are the kinds of harsh words that will be waiting for you if you try and get him to watch anything fun with you. Ask him one too many times and, like a parent who is annoyed that you are bothering him, he will begin to fill up any moment of free time the two of you have with activities. No, babe, we can’t watch “90 Day Fiance.” Why? Because we’ve got to run the marathon for kids with cancer and then we’ve got dinner with the mayor after that. You two are gonna be booked and busy. You were obviously bored. Now you won’t have time to even think!
Kevin Khatchadourian - Please don’t remind him so blatantly of his own intellectual superiority over you (he’s an asshole.) He gets the ick of the century when you try and tell him what happened during one of your little…programs. If you have the audacity to take it a step further and ask him to watch with you? He’s rendered speechless. Since when is this relationship a safe space? He doesn’t enjoy well-written, heart-stopping, incredible genre-defining movies and television. And yet, somehow, you’re so delusional you think he’s gonna sit through reality television with you? Don’t piss him off. He doesn’t even bother responding. Enjoy the view of his back as he walks away!
❥ secret fourth worse thing ❥
Nathan Prescott - Nathan is once again in a category of his own, which you might call: too nosy to not get into it, but doesn't want you to know he enjoys it. He made fun of you when you first started to watch reality TV. He can’t go back on his word now. If you were cuddling on the couch he’d have his face turned into your stomach and dramatically roll his eyes at your absentminded head rubbing. Could we focus on what’s important please? But then the plots started thickening and the heated exchanges started to pique his interest. He knew he was cooked when he started recognizing names, who was booed up with who… wait that disloyal prick hooked up with who this week?! He tells you to just replay the episode because you’re explaining it shitty and you obviously want him to watch it and talk to you about it. It isn’t for his benefit at all. Turn the subtitles on, god dammit.

I love that kevin grieved riko. like, of course, he did. don’t people say that grief is the final form of love? and kevin did love him, I think. he loved him once, before, and he loved him after, still. loved him in a way a kicked dog still loves its owner, because even with face twisted in anger and palms shaking from violence that owner is still the same person that gave it a home once. he grieved him because when someone suddenly becomes undeserving of your love– does it ever leave? that love? or does it grow its own legs and continue to wander this world without regard for the validity of its existence
of course kevin grieved. the aftertaste of his love for riko was still fresh on his tongue
#with the memory of knees bruised with innocence still fresh in his memory how could kevin stop loving him?#how could he when imaginary worlds drawn by sticky chubby fingers were still visible in his mind?#how could kevin get rid of this love when he still remembered the child riko was before the world had rotten him?#how could kevin hate him when he could never be sure if that rottenness fully destroyed the boy he once knew?#oh how I love putting half of the post in the tags#aftg#all for the game#kevin day#riko moriyama#kiwiaok
