5th Day - Friday (piontek)

Gipatik: 29.09.2017

The Zachęta

is one of the 'most ambitious art galleries in Poland' - as it is written. Zachęta means 'encouragement' or 'motivation', which is exactly what I need today. Off I go..

Here you can find video installations.

There is a theory that the Polish Piast dynasty are actually Scandinavians. Researchers who support this theory are trying to prove it through genetic analysis of the remains of the princes Mieszko & Co.

The artist here is obviously artistically engaging with the results of the genetic analysis:



The man on the left has a gun, the man on the right doesn't. You can imagine how that ends...



How to properly attach a thread to a hook. Learning something new..

And for that I have to travel all the way to Warsaw!

Zachęta? Well, I liked it, really!


Szalone dni muzyki

The 'Crazy Music Days - La Danse' are starting here today, if translated correctly:

I have a ticket for a solo piano evening at the venerable Teatre Wielki w Warszawie (Grand Theatre). Madness!



Title of the evening: Mazurki

The Majster is not here yet:

A Mazurka is a Polish dance (that's the reference to 'La Danse', the name of the festival). That's my introduction to the topic ;-)

Then it starts:

Chopin, Paderewski, Szymanowski, Maciejewski, Kilar, Zalewski (please repeat loudly),... then there is improvisation.

A true Majster at the keyboard - only, he didn't think of the audience! The tonal space of the Mazurkas expands, piece by piece - but the rows of seats thin out equally (the people are quite szalone). The remaining listeners, however, celebrate the Majster:


Just outside, it continues:

the Young-Power Big-Band



Clarinet Jazz Polka:



the hall is boiling:


And now I am too, but at home in Dzielna, with a little soup ;-)


Faux Pas of the Day:

If you don't speak Polish, you'll get stuck right here:

No worries, everything turned out fine :-) Seen in time:
