Hi, could you do some fluff and angst headcannons for Madame de Garderobe and Cadenza please xx

um yes. no promises on the angst but here’s some fluff:

so i’ve written all about how they met before [x].

but have i ever told you about the night in vienna, when the moon was very low and very round and very golden, and there was a chocolate festival on, and Maestro Cadenza and Madame de Garderobe mingled with the city’s revelers, and ate truffles and pralines and mendiants and sang, their voices thick with chocolate, to all the dancing lovers in the square.

obviously Cadenza has written entire operas only for Garderobe to sing. “But aren’t there other parts?” ask the managers, blinking. “Yes,” says Cadenza, “and she plays all of them.”

(Cadenza is the first man to write entire operas that only feature women.)

Before the curse, Garderobe got in the habit of buying Cadenza a new harpsichord every year for his birthday. A gift more style than substance—because he would play anything, and a harpsichord won’t fit in a carriage—but they are beautiful instruments, anyway, each one painted with a new theme. Stars—fashion—golden tarts—the opera itself—one year the harpsichord just has his face, Cadenza’s face, painted on the inside lid. They laugh, and leave it behind.

He gets her beautiful little cosmetic-boxes, and jewel boxes, and every year a new 500-page book of sheet music he wrote himself. Madame! he says, presenting it. Maestro! she says, accepting. Every year, the people around—for this is always public, always crowded with city residents and courtly artists and visiting noblemen—every year, the people assume they’ve just become engaged.

They don’t correct them. Every year, it’s like they get engaged again.

They travel to Provence. They travel to Milan. They visit London, briefly—a dirty city—and Berlin, and Moscow, and Prague. They are the greatest musicians in the world, and Garderobe sweeps diamonds before her feet.

After the curse—because, yes, there is an after, even though they thought there was no hope—they run from the palace, fast. Goodbye, Villeneuve! Time to meet the world again: the world that loved them so much.

Except….not. They don’t have the stomach for more rococo glamor, more nobles bowing and scraping and whining for the old tunes. No, no, no—Garderobe and Cadenza don’t want that at all—they want each other, and nothing else.

So they go to the Caribbean. Second honeymoon, to follow their 28th fake engagement; and they nod to the locals, and get a charming hut right beside the sea, and the days aren’t filled with chocolate and glamor but Cadenza, and Garderobe, and joy.

(and nightmares. garderobe finds it hard to sleep, now, though she stays beside cadenza as he rests—her body curled around his, and her eyes wide open against the night—and cadenza awakes too often, clutching at his beloved’s hands, slowly gasping his way back to breathing. this would not be a fairy-story if there was not a little nightmare.)

So much unbelievable joy. They can’t be away from each other for even a minute; and they let up on performing for the crowds, and let themselves just relax on the beach, singing or composing or telling all the stories they’ve missed.

(they talk of the castle residents, more than they would have guessed. they thought it would be a relief to forget the little candle-man, and the tight-wound clock, and the little feather girl; but their thoughts slide back to them, like the tide going out, drawn on by the Parisian moon.)

Where ever they end up, a harpsichord shows up. This is no work of Garderobe’s; they come of their own, as if flocking to a fellow. Down by the lagoon, there is a broken harpsichord. On the pirate ship? A stolen harpsichord. Down in the reefs where Cadenza likes to snorkel—a submerged harpsichord.

It doesn’t take a lot to get them to play again. Cadenza knows new melodies, now; and Garderobe has never sounded better, her voice rippling up to hit the dark, star-specked sky.

Eventually, they decide to go back. They give the harpsichords to the village children—along with sheet music, because it doesn’t occur to Cadenza that they might not know how to read it—and they catch a ship back to Europe. To Prague, or Vienna, or London, or Moscow……….

And they make the decision, all at once, of where they’re going back to.

Villeneuve feels like home.

Lumiere welcomes them with open arms; he’s kept their suite ready for them, and there are chocolates by the mirror, and the wardrobe has been removed because they guessed that Garderobe would want her clothes on chairs, now, or racks, or anything that doesn’t have open-and-shut doors and a propensity for creaking.

Cogsworth welcomes them with a tight smile. Plumette kisses Garderobe on the cheek. Belle hugs the great lady of the opera, and Adam shakes their hands, and it’s odd to be back but beautiful, too.

They don’t always stay. They still long to perform! To give grand concerts, and lift the roof with song, and shatter the windows with Cadenza’s operettas all over Europe.

But they find their way back to Villeneuve, when the moon is very low in the sky. And the lovers still dance in the square.

Bruno Ganz, uno de los grandes actores europeos del último medio siglo

Antonio Broto Ginebra, 16 feb (EFE).- El actor suizo Bruno Ganz, fallecido hoy de cáncer a los 77 años en su Zúrich natal, fue uno de los grandes intérpretes del cine europeo en el último medio siglo, encarnando papeles inmortales como el de ángel Damiel en "Wings of Desire" o el iracundo Adolf Hitler de "Downfall". Considerado para muchos el mejor actor en lengua alemana de las décadas recientes, Ganz trabajó para todos los grandes del cine en ese idioma, desde Wim Wenders a Werner Herzog, pero también estuvo a las órdenes del francés Eric Rohmer, el danés Lars Von Trier o los estadounidenses Francis Ford Coppola y Ridley Scott. Nacido el 22 de marzo de 1941 en Zúrich, hijo de un mecánico suizo y de madre italiana, Ganz supo que quería ser actor desde la adolescencia y tras finalizar el instituto se matriculó en la Escuela Superior de las Artes de su ciudad. Su debut en el cine llegó en 1960, cuando con 19 años participó en la película suiza "The Man in the Black Derby", donde ya empezó a llamar la atención por la intensidad con la que asumía sus papeles. Pese a ese prematuro inicio en el cine, durante década y media hizo, sobre todo, papeles teatrales, primero en el elenco del Teatro Goethe y más tarde en el grupo dramático Berliner Schaubühne. A mediados de los setenta llegaron nuevamente papeles importantes en el celuloide, el primero en "Summer Guests", de Peter Stein, y tres años más tarde en "Nosferatu, the Vampyre", de Werner Herzog. Ya en esa década empezaría a trabajar también en filmes alejados de la órbita cultural germana, como la francesa "Lumiere", y comenzaría a darse a conocer en Hollywood como actor de reparto en "The Boys from Brazil", cinta protagonizada por Gregory Peck y Laurence Olivier. También en esos años se iniciaría su relación profesional con Wim Wenders, que le dio algunos de sus mejores roles, primero en "El amigo americano" (1977) junto a Dennis Hopper, y después en "The American Friend" (1977), "Wings of Desire" (1987) y en "So close, So Far" (1993). Ganz desplegó así una intensa y diversa carrera que incluyó desde papeles en conocidos éxitos estadounidenses como "The Reader" o "The Manchurian Candidate" hasta destacados trabajos en Italia y Francia. También tuvo una incursión en el cine español, participando en la coproducción hispanosuiza "El río de oro" de 1986, dirigida por Jaime Chávarri y en la que compartió elenco junto a Ángela Molina y un jovencísimo Juan Diego Botto que hoy tuvo emocionadas palabras de recuerdo para Ganz. "Me regaló su sombrero y me dijo: Te queda mucho cine. Que la tierra te sea leve, Maestro", señaló el actor español en su cuenta de Twitter. Para muchos, especialmente las generaciones más jóvenes, el papel más conocido de Ganz fue el de Adolf Hitler en "Downfall", controvertida película alemana de 2004 en la que se muestran las últimas semanas del "führer" antes de su suicido. Ganz encarnó un Hitler con unas cualidades humanas poco estudiadas en el cine hasta entonces, cabalgando entre la desesperación por la inminente derrota, la fragilidad o la furia por pensar que todo su entorno le había fallado y debía morir con él. Incluso para los no cinéfilos, una de las escenas de esa película en la que grita iracundo al ver que la guerra está perdida, mientras sus subalternos le observan con pavor, se ha convertido quizá en la más parodiada de internet, con los famosos vídeos de "Hitler se entera" que desde hace años pueblan Youtube. Ganz, conocido por poner tal pasión en sus papeles que incluso se llegó a hacer daño al interpretar algunos, contaba de aquella experiencia que se vio obligado a usar una gran fuerza de voluntad para encarnar al líder nazi y "construir una pared en su cabeza" para separar al personaje de sí mismo. "No quería pasar las tardes en el hotel con el señor Hitler a mi lado", declaraba Ganz en el pasaje de una entrevista que hoy recordó la agencia suiza ATS. La muerte del actor, uno de los artistas más conocidos de Suiza, ha producido un gran impacto en el país centroeuropeo. "No hacía un personaje: se encarnaba en él", señaló el consejero federal y expresidente suizo Alain Berset. Ganz, que padeció problemas de alcoholismo hasta que logró dejar la bebida a los 60 años, padecía un cáncer intestinal diagnosticado en el verano de 2018 que le había obligado a apartarse de los escenarios cuando se disponía a ejercer como narrador en la ópera de Mozart "La flauta mágica" en el Festival de Salzburgo (Austria). "Murió en las primeras horas de hoy, rodeado de su familia. Hasta el final, Bruno trabajó en sus proyectos con placer e intensidad", señaló su agente al anunciar la noticia de su fallecimiento. Ganz era portador del Anillo de Iffland, que tradicionalmente lleva el que haya sido considerado mejor actor en lengua alemana del momento, un wagneriano objeto que a su muerte debe heredar otro intérprete, por lo que ahora deberá buscarse un sucesor.

New Post has been published on http://www.tempi-dispari.it/2018/10/11/il-festival-sys-on-the-road-arriva-a-pisa-dal-23-al-27-ottobre/

Il festival Sys on the road arriva a Pisa dal 23 al 27 ottobre

SYS International music film festival

Seeyousound è il primo e più importante festival italiano dedicato al cinema musicale e alla musica nel cinema. Nato a Torino dal 2015, da quest’anno diventa una rete di festival e arriva anche a Pisa, Lecce, Palermo.

SYS ON THE ROAD arriva a Pisa dal 23 > 27 ottobre

La tappa di Pisa di SYS ON THE ROAD si terrà dal 23 al 27 ottobre ed è il risultato della stretta collaborazione tra Seeyousound e due realtà locali di grande tradizione, Cinema Arsenale e Cinema Lumiere, coproduttrici di questa rassegna. Realtà differenti ma accomunate dal desiderio di sperimentare e che hanno unito le proprie forze e competenze per creare questa prima edizione. Uno sforzo congiunto che ha dato i propri frutti tanto dal punto di vista della direzione artistica che sul fronte organizzativo e logistico.

Il palinsesto proporrà una panoramica sulle prime quattro edizioni di Seeyousound Torino, arricchita da una selezione di anteprime: in tutto dieci film internazionali, le cui proiezioni si terranno al Cineclub Arsenale, punto di riferimento per gli appassionati di cinema di Pisa e non solo, attivo dal 1982. Ogni film sarà accompagnato da Q&A con gli autori, performance musicali, dj set e incontri con personalità e artisti del territorio, per coinvolgere quanto più possibile il tessuto locale, senza rinunciare al respiro globale. La programmazione dei film è articolata in tre fasce: la prima, quella del tardo pomeriggio, in cui le proiezioni saranno accompagnate da una introduzione critica; la fascia della prima serata, in cui saranno ospitati Q&A e performance live; e infine la seconda serata, in cui le proiezioni saranno invece precedute da un momento conviviale nel foyer, con un dj-set a tema.

Una programmazione che copre generi musicali molto diversi tra loro, dalle atmosfere neoclassiche di Ryuichi Sakamoto fino all’elettronica dei Daft Punk, in modo da venire incontro ad un pubblico diversificato. Da segnalare in palinsesto l’anteprima del film Saremo Giovani e Bellissimidi Letizia Lamartire, reduce dal Festival di Venezia e che verrà presentato alla presenza del cast e con una performance live di Emma Morton, autrice della canzone della colonna sonora, e l’anteprima di Sympathy for the Devil, il documentario sui Rolling Stones girato da Jean-Luc Godardnel ‘68 e che qui sarà presentato in versione restaurata in occasione del cinquantennale. Ospite della serata inaugurale sarà Boris Benkodei Laibach,prima band straniera ad esibirsi in Corea del Nord, nel 2015.

Sempre al Cineclub Arsenale, in Sala 2, saranno ospitati i panel di questa prima edizione: il venerdì un incontro con Silvia Clo Di Gregorio, regista e attrice di alcuni dei videoclip più popolari della nuova scena musicale italiana, il sabato invece un seminario su Metropolis(film che verrà poi sonorizzato) ideato in stretta collaborazione con Acit Pisa e docenti dell’Università di Pisa. Il foyer del cinema ospiterà invece una mostra di tavole e illustrazioni a tematica musicale del celebre fumettista Tuono Pettinato, già collaboratore di riviste come XL e Linus e autore di numerose graphic novel di successo tra cui Neverminde We Are the Champions.

Performance e live show si terranno all’ex-cinema Lumière, il cinema più antico d’Italia e che oggi ospita eventi dal vivo di rilevanza internazionale. Il venerdì sera a esibirsi sarà Yakamoto Kotzuga, giovane producer, compositore e sound designer veneziano: il suo ultimo album, Slowly Fading, è nato da una performance A/V in collaborazione con l’artista visivo Furio Ganz e commissionata dalla Biennale di Venezia.

Il sabato invece a chiudere il programma sarà il compositore messicano Murcof, nome di punta della scena elettronica mondiale, che presenterà la sua sonorizzazione della versione restaurata del film Metropolis.
