UNCLE VANYA

Thornton at 33 years of age, Astrov at 49 - getting older certainly hasn’t diminished Richard’s ability to make me weak at the knees with that look in his eyes.

Anson Mount on theatre roles he'd like to play

When Anson was at Dragon Con in September 2022 promoting Star Trek: Stange New Worlds, a fan in the audience asked him what theatre roles he's always wanted to play.

Anson mentioned Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov (the role of Mikhail Lvovich Astrov, a country doctor), and The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley (the role of De Flores, servant to Vermandero). The fan also brought up Shakespeare's Macbeth and Anson said he's played the role of Malcolm (Elder son of Duncan, king of Scotland) before.

In 2020 Anson played Uncle Vanya's Dr. Astrov in a virtual theatre production of the play (gifs here and here).

Uncle Vanya portrays the visit of an elderly professor and his glamorous, much younger second wife, Yelena, to the rural estate that supports their urban lifestyle. Two friends - Vanya, brother of the professor’s late first wife, who has long managed the estate, and Astrov, the local doctor - both fall under Yelena’s spell, while bemoaning the ennui of their provincial existence.

The Changeling is about young Beatrice who is in love with a visiting nobleman, Alsemero. However, her father has already arranged her marriage to Alonzo, another nobleman. Desperate to be with her love, Beatrice enlists the help of De Flores, a cunning but ugly servant, a deceptive man obsessed with her and determined to claim her virtue. While she initially resists him, Beatrice is drawn into lustful complicity with De Flores, and together they set in motion a chain of love, lust, madness, and death.

Earth Day 2024 🌳 While researching his role as the conservation-minded Dr Astrov in Uncle Vanya, Richard went to Tring Park in Hertfordshire to help with a Woodland Trust project to plant one million trees in a day. “Sometimes people think these exercises are irrelevant or pretentious," he told the Radio Times in June 2021, "but as well as being a fun day out, I found it really useful.”

The Inevitable Art Of Being

Okay, so @the-girl-who-cried-wolf wanted me to elaborate on my Jo March = impressionist painting theory which goes hand in hand with my "Aren't we all impressionistic images, heart (considering common symbolism of the word), body and mind included?" theory, the second one being my decided topic of the day. Here, have this post beloved flowery humans 🌸🌻🌷🌺🌼🌷🌹💐🌸🌺🌻💐🌼🌹💐🌺🌻!

The most fitting way to begin the manifest of my sparkly soul, as I see it, is to honor the eternally present Mr. Wilde (which, judging from my lifelong legacy aka this silly little Tumblr disaster, is now my fulltime job) with the mention of the belief that had a tremendous influence, if not the most of it, on his art in its eternity and that is, you guessed it, anti-mimesis. As opposed to the Aristotelian mimesis, which teaches is us how "art imitates life", anti-mimesis tells the story about art as a primary source of inspiration for everything that is human. "Life imitating art" in translation. I started my geeky journey on this Earth believing that Aristotle was the one in the right here (which is by far my lowest point, not because of its inaccuracy but because of its limited nature, it is not about being "in the right"), but as I grow older, my mind can't help but gravitate towards the philosophy of the more "Dorianesque" nature. What if we all are an art form brought to life? What if we're each a Wilde novel, the portraits of our existence hanging above our heads, residing in the attics of our minds and brought to life, and by that inevitably modified by each step taken? What if?

Why Impressionism?

Here are the close ups of typical impressionist paintings:

Here are some of the paintings in full:

I'm not here to talk about Claude Monet (I could talk about his garden in Giverny though and the art that came from it, which is an anti-mimesis in itself, but I'm trying to work on the rambling issues so *Neil Perry voice*: no.❤) or tell you about the beginning of impressionism or stress your mind with fictional characters such as Mikhail Lvovich Astrov. (I'd like to, but I won't. Let's just say that Chekhov's take on impressionism deserves a post on its own.) But what I am going to talk about is the power of the human senses, the fundamental element of impressionism and the fundamental element of who we are as people and, even if we are museum's stolen children, is it all necessarily a positive thing? For the record, I find it rather neutral. Just a concept, a canvas waiting to be painted, decided for, filled with an uncountable amount of meaning. Anyhow, this experiment's purpose:

You look at an impressionist painting from up close. You see blurry symbols, a sea of shades, meaningless patterns (or attempts of such) staring right back at you. Telling you nothing.

You look at a person for the very first time. A glance. Shoulders brushing. A thousand blurry images, days of knowing nothing but the color of their hair, eyes. Their most evident interest. You make the blurry the defining in an attempt to understand, to rationalise.

You look at an impressionist painting in full for the very first time. You see a working concept, puzzle completed. The bigger picture. Telling you everything. You let yourself stare at it for a bit longer and you see layer. You get to witness the ways in which the colors overlap, maybe even fail to work as an asset to the piece. You look at that same painting every single day and every single day, you see a different thing.

You look at someone for the very first time. You let them play you a song they like to dance to, you learn their favorite color, you let yourself hear them. And sometimes, their favorite color changes and one day they're happy. One day they're sad.

But they're still the same person, even when their interests don't match and they grow tired of their favorite coffee place. And it's still the same painting. Same brushstrokes behind glass, same body drawing breaths.

I hope you all have a lovely time doing the rarest thing of all! Have fun existing! (and after you're done with *gestures vaguely* that, preferably give Mr. Wilde a call).

for anyone who might be interested, here's me putting my theory to good use: ❤ ❤ ❤

A moodboard for one of my favorites, and one of the most underrated, characters portrayed by the late Sir Ian Holm: the melancholic alcoholic doctor and enviromentalist philosopher Mikhail Lvovic Astrov, from Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
