Jesus Christ Superstar DJKT

Since it's the time for the annual JCS celebration I thought I could share some of my notes from the production from Pilsen (which is insanely good omg) so here is my rant that no one asked for:)

Need to say, this version is set in modern times, the set has this metal construction and fence with grafitti

At the beginning JC and Judas come to the stage, Judas in red tartan shirt, turban and electronic cigarette (which he smokes throughout the whole play), and Jesus has full-white outfit (tank top, skinny jeans and long coat) and has a tablet with which he operates screens that are on the stage

Insteresting addition is the Virgin Mary. Her look resembles old cute granny. Every now and then she shows up during few scenes and look at her son with worry, most of the time Jesus ignores her but Judas often notices her.

Mary Magdalene says she will cool Jesus' face, he lays in her lap and she seems almost scared to touch him. Judas comes to annoy them and when he sings: „...woman of her kind“ he says "woman" with air quotes, she doesn't seem impressed

What I found really sweet is that when the light own on the JC camp and This Jesus Must Die starts, you can see in the dark that Jesus, Judas and Mary sit together by a tent and talk, Judas shows Mary something on his phone, they share a bottle... I just think its cute

This production even includes Then we are decided which I haven't seen in any other cz version and during this song Annas bring Caiphas (who's in wheelchair) on the stage and THEN starts to undress him to wash him. (my mum, who had no idea this song even existed looked like she started to question her entire existence and the audience was very distraught) I was fighting for my life cause I tried not to burst out laughing

I like that in this version they don't exclude Judas from the Apostles that much, like he was one of them even if he had different opinions. I just feel like some versions they portray him as a complete outcast, so I really appreciate that here he's part of the crowd in Hosanna and shows support for JC.

After Hosanna, Simon says: „this is not enough“ and calls out Peter („Péťo!“, miluju) and other apostles, incuding Judas, as they bow to Jesus and start to dance. Judas is a bit uncertain and throughout the song this feeling grows. When Simon pulls out posters with JC on them, Judas is taken aback and shows them to Jesus. He also shares few worried glances with Mary. Everyone marches with the posters held up high , all of them are full of energy and excitement, only Judas has doubt and fear in his eyes.

The crowd freezes as Jesus sing Poor Jerusalem, only Judas (and Mary if I recall correctly) watches and listens to JC.

In the temple, when beggars ask for hep from JC, he doesn't even try to heal them anyhow. He seems overstimulated.

During I Don't Know How to Love Him, Jesus sits on the side of the stage, hugging his knees. He cries, he's having panic attack, he's going through a crisis, the crushing weight of expectations and fate is too much for him. As Mary sings a footage of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus play on the screens.

The Last Supper, before the song starts Jesus washes feet of few apostles, Mary and Judas, who's very much in distress and begs him to stop. Once the boys start to argue, they get really close, they hold each others faces and scream at each other from like 2 cm. They hug tightly, separate for a second and start to scream again. Then Judas runs away and leaves Jesus.

Judas returns with soldiers and Jesus meets his gaze, they stare at each other for quite some time. Judas comes closer, gently puts his hand on Jesus' cheek and kisses him ON. THE. MOUTH. (I almost died, the guy next to me must have thought I had a heart attack, the audience gasped even heard some disgusted sighs)

The guard take Jesus, for the rest of the song Jesus sadly looks at Judas with love and forgiveness.

At the Trial before Pilate, Jesus is shoved into cage, stripped of his clothes, yes we see the whole backside (looking respectfully), and then they give him electric shocks. So while on one side of the stage you see JC's bloody ass on the other side you got Pilate being embraced/held from back by his half naked bodyguard for some reason (I was like ??? what did I miss)

The well-known fanfares of Superstar start and Judas, in a new red turban and smoking cigarette, accompanied by three soul girls in red with huge wings arrive on the stage. He looks like he's having the time of his life, he's being silly, smiling and dancing along with the girls. Meanwhile Jesus heads on his way of sorrows. A woman comes and wipes his bloodied face in cloth and later looks at it with utter fascination (veil of Veronica). Jesus falls under the weight of the cross and a man comes to help (Simon of Cyrene). He crosses path with Virgin Mary and meets her eyes, filled with utter sorrow, Judas watches their encounter from the back, then says fuck it and dances infront of them. At some point he blows smog from his cigarette into Jesus' face.

During Crucifixion, Mary Magdalene looks like she's suffering more than Mother Mary, seems like she knew that this was gonna happen and accepted the inevitable

John 19:41 starts with deadly silence. The apostles take down the dead body and hand him to his mother, creating pieta. She holds his body and looks like only then she realizes what happened and cries. They lay the body, put it on the stage and cover it with cloth (shroud of Turin). There's this really cool "magic trick" when Jesus disappears under the cloth. Everyone on stage looks up with seriousness on their faces. Slightly stronger light shines on Mary Magdalene and Virgin Mary and they're the only ones smiling.

There are many more little moments I noticed but I think these are the most interesting ones. I may talk about it more some other time, or about other productions.

yeah so anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

Teilnehmer*innen für Studie gesucht!

Worum geht es?

Bei der Studie geht es um Minderheitenstress bei nicht heterosexuellen Personen. Also um den Stress, der durch die leider immernoch oft eher belastenden gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten wie etwa Diskriminierung entsteht. Im Rahmen dieser Studie soll nun erforscht werden, wie sich dies auf die psychische Gesundheit auswirkt. Außerdem wird untersucht welche Ressourcen hier helfen könnten, die Wirkung von Minderheitenstress abzumildern.

Wer Leitet die Studie?

Ich heiße Johannes und studiere Psychologie an der Uni Wien. Ich bin nichtbinär und pan und forsche zum Thema Minderheitenstress, da ich dieses Thema aufgrund eigener Erfahrung für sehr wichtig halte und es leider erstaunlich wenig Forschung zu diesem Thema gibt. Fragen zu dieser Studie beantworte ich natürlich gerne entweder direkt über Tumblr oder per Mail via a11938007@unet.univie.ac.at.

i got fired from one of my jobs a week ago. i expected that it would happen and i was considering leaving anyway, since having two jobs and writing a diploma thesis proved to be, unsurprisingly, unsustainable for me. i also felt a bit relieved at first, since from the beginning, i felt like i don't really belong there and that me being hired was an accident (even though people have been nice to me). also, a bigger part of what i did was... not *exactly* what i wanted to do for a long time.

but also... it could be a bridge for me to eventually get the job in the field i actually wanted to do and now my only job experience in the field is the one where i got fired. and i also feel sad that it ended like this. i just feel so stupid, man.

If the US were engaged in an attempt to bring peace to Ukraine, it would place more tariffs on Russia, rather than exempt Russia entirely.

In a world with fewer distractions, we would be shocked that the US made its tariff decisions during discussions with the head of the Russian sovereign investment fund.

Russia has rejected the ceasefire and continues a war that was criminal from the beginning. Under Trump, we are only making this easier. We are putting US power on Russia’s side.

And, yes, Ukraine, the country defending itself, the country whose economy has been under literal attack by Russia for three years, was subjected to tariffs.
