𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐆𝐎 , somewhere in france : SOUNDTRACK ! !

querida vienna,

sinto muito por passar semanas sem escrever, já tentei começar esta carta diversas vezes , mas as coisas estão terríveis novamente, receio dizer. tudo deixado no meu quarto foram a mesa de estudos e uma cadeira. colchões, poltronas, foram levados e até mesmo meu closet está trancado . não tenho permissão para dormir, não posso comer muito caso fique sonolento , é um ciclo vicioso e seria engraçado se não me causasse tanta dor. espero que não tenha feito você odiar meus pais, eu não os odeio. o plano é o plano, eu tento entender ; mas é realmente tão difícil tentar ser perfeito.

mas o verão está prestes a começar e logo estarei no acampamento, talvez passe todos os meus dias dormindo e não treine nem um pouco. complicado, não acha? vou estar entediado no segundo dia , quem sabe , dure até o terceiro, mas então voltarei para a arena. acho que está no meu sangue, essa luta .

ah, e boas noticias ! um olheiro vem nos ver em alguns dias, pode ser meu ingresso para o meu esporte, e minha saída dessa casa. novamente, não os odeio - ou estou tentando meu melhor não odiar. minha mãe sempre foi assim, dizem que ela aprendeu com o pai , sempre ter que cuidar de tudo, aparentemente meu avô era incapaz de tomar as próprias decisões, me pergunto se ela simplesmente assume que sou igual. e meu pai … bem, ele ao menos diz que sente muito. mas ainda tranca a porta do quarto, e não volta para checar se estou vivo. acho que quebra seu coração, no entanto e de uma forma egoísta, fico feliz. será que sou uma pessoa ruim ?

não sei quando vou poder escrever de novo, mas espero que em breve. até lá, vou imaginar que você esteja passando todos os seus dias no sol, cercada pelas pessoas que te amam, e saiba que mesmo de longe, eu sou uma delas. não posso te abraçar ou segurar sua mão, mas mando meu coração com essa carta, cuide bem dele.

com amor, liége.

“But the thing that really surprised me when I moved here was how reasonable the rents are compared with London, New York and most other European capitals. The reason for this is Vienna City Council’s radical social housing policy. It is the largest property owner in Europe. Some 60 per cent of the population live in high-quality subsidised housing, including middle-class families and young professionals. Unlike London, nurses, teachers and public servants can afford to live in the centre.

Competition for rental homes in London is now at an all-time high. According to Rightmove, the average monthly rental price in London is now £2,343, a rise of 16 per cent in the past year. The average rent in Manhattan is now over $5,200 a month, up 19 per cent.

In Vienna, the wide availability of subsidised housing has moderated rents in the private sector — the average monthly price for a 60 sq m flat in the city is €767, according to the Mietspiegel rental index for 2022, with social rents significantly lower. Added to that, tenants have high levels of protection against rent rises and evictions. Having a comfortable and affordable roof over your head is critical to a sense of security and happiness — and, some economists have argued, productivity. Across London, average rent accounts for nearly 40 per cent of a renter’s gross salary.

...

“The idea was to build housing that was affordable, hygienic and beautiful. They believed that the right to beauty should not just belong to the rich,” says historian and curator Julia Schranz, our guide. To that end, the city hired the greatest architects of the day and installed plenty of public art. The left referred to it as a Versailles for the Workers, while the right complained the proletariat would feel uncomfortable in such grandeur.

I can’t think of another city where public housing is a visitor attraction. But in Vienna tourists flock to the Hundertwasserhaus, a wacky, multicoloured social housing complex covered in mosaics and plants. Almost every new development is subject to an architectural competition, which means there’s a variety of aesthetics instead of the grey, Brutalist concrete blocks that blight so many European cities.

“Vienna City Council puts a lot of effort into avoiding ghettos and building mixed communities,” says the architect and writer Maik Novotny, who has chronicled the differences between public housing policy in London and Vienna. There isn’t the huge divide that there is in Britain between homeowners and people who live on estates. “Social housing is not stigmatised in Vienna. People are proud of it,” he says.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

meanwhile, some quotes about the material:

The "musical within a musical" is about a ramshackle theater troupe haphazardly putting on a show destined for Broadway in exchange for doing chores around the farm. People fall in and out of love throughout the process, all while the city folk comically struggle with the country life. Emmy-winning writer Cheri Steinkellner was given one mandate, however: "No tractor," she laughed on the phone just weeks before the show was set to begin previews. "They were adamant about that. And there's a tractor in the movie. There's a tractor in almost every scene. It's in many ways about a tractor. But I was told absolutely no tractor." [...] "We're all working on this like we're on an actual summer stock schedule. Art imitates life imitates art. It's just go, go, go. And I couldn't be prouder of our cast, and our Jane and Joe," Steinkellner, who is also a Golden Globe winner, said. Her writing partner also happens to be her husband Bill. "Our 'Summer Stock' is more 'inspired by' than adaptation. There are four songs included from the original film that you can't not do. But the new songs are the best of the old songs. The secret sauce was the great American Songbook." She said "It Had To Be You" is one of the classics audiences can expect.

So, how different is the musical Summer Stock from the movie? It feels like a whole new animal, even though we’ve borrowed some elements from the movie. It is still, first and foremost, a love letter to the theater; it’s about this group of players who come to a farm to put on a show. So many numbers are how they get into farming through performance! We also still focus on how Joe and his partner Phil [played by Gilbert L. Bailey II] fight to get the show on its feet, and how Joe helps his eventual love interest Jane [played by Danielle Wade] find her inner performer. But a lot has changed from the film, including some of the relationships. We have a brilliant new writer, Cheri Steinkellner, who has dropped in a lot of nods to why we love musical theater. We have Veanne Cox as Orville’s mother, who is the new “villain” of the piece. And we’ve added a lot of music, such as “It Had to Be You” and “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” and we’ve switched around who’s singing some of the film’s songs, such as “Dig, Dig, Dig” and “Happy Harvest.” But the most important thing is that while we’re still in the late 1940s, there are two Black actors playing the male leads – me and Gilbert Bailey as Phil – and it is definitely not color-blind casting; it’s color-conscious. That means we’re dealing with an interracial love affair, for instance. The racial element is an additional driving force, which I think is necessary, but the main story isn’t about the struggle for racial equality. In the end, it’s still a feel-good MGM-like affair. You’ve previously stepped into the figurative shoes of Gene Kelly, who originated the role of Joe in the movie, as well as Fred Astaire. How does that feel? I am always aware these golden age icons from MGM have such a specific style and that they make what they do look easy. Of course, I want to bring that to Joe. But in the tap dance sequence, for instance, we also have a bit of Gregory Hines, even though I’m no Gregory Hines. And at the end of the day, it’s me on stage, and I work hardest on finding my own characterization of these roles. This is your first time working with Donna Feore, who is one of Canada’s leading directors and choreographers. Tell me about your experience with her? Donna is wonderful to work with, both as director and choreographer. I think the best thing about her handling both roles is we don’t have to get everyone on the same page, because she is the same page. She’s also really hands-on with the music; she fought to have a drummer in the room during rehearsals so we could find those beats while we created the choreography, not just insert them later. As she directs, she considers the movement of every scene, but also the story that we’re telling through that movement! It’s not movement for movement’s sake, and I appreciate that! Goodspeed isn’t the easiest place to do a dance-oriented show, is it? Yes, we’re dealing with the confines of a very small stage, it’s like dancing on a Chiclet. I am so impressed how vibrantly our cast can move on this stage. We’re on top of each other!  I think we’d look great on a bigger stage, which is just one reason why everyone is focused on moving this show to New York.

[source: Interview: Corbin Bleu Talks About the New Musical Summer Stock and the Fourth Season of HSMTMTS]

“Summer Stock” is right in Corbin Bleu’s wheelhouse. “I feel at home on the stage,” he said. An actor, singer and dancer his whole life, Bleu is appearing in the upcoming stage adaptation of the Hollywood musical beginning July 7 at the Goodspeed Opera House. “I established myself in this particular genre, doing shows associated with Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire,” he said. “I am a bit of an old soul. This is what my voice naturally goes to.” The “High School Musical” star is playing Joe Ross, one of a troupe of actors that descends on a small farming town to turn an old barn into a theater. It appears he was born to play the role originated by Kelly on the big screen. “I grew up as a theater kid,” Bleu said. “I grew up watching old MGM movies. I was a theater nerd and a musical theater fan. My dad kept a storage unit of stuff from our childhood, and he found an old school paper from when I was in elementary school where I’m dreaming of performing in musicals.” [...] Of the four shows, “Holiday Inn” is most similar to “Summer Stock,” which was also adapted from a movie . “Holiday Inn” was a fairly close reworking of the film, but “Summer Stock” takes a few more liberties. “It’s not the exact same story,” Bleu said. “When I watch the movie, I think it could definitely use some updates.” Those updates include a multi-racial cast. “Let’s not skirt the obvious,” Bleu said. “I’m a Black guy doing characters traditionally played by white men, doing things Black men weren’t traditionally able to do easily at the time these shows take place.” [...] “Some parts of the book are still in process,” Bleu said. “Cheri is in the room with us at rehearsals. We want this to feel modern, but we don’t want to shoehorn anything in. “I was also part of the workshop we did in New York a month and a half ago,” he added. “I’m loving seeing it and I’m loving being a part of it. We know this genre. It’s a feel-good musical comedy, a big song and dance show.” Though there is a lot that has been rethought when reshaping “Summer Stock” for the 21st-century stage, those who know it as a Gene Kelly movie will have plenty to latch onto. “We are completely paying our homage to Gene,” Bleu said. “I am not Gene, but I do have a natural tendency to lean into that style. Gregory Hines is also a big inspiration. There’s tap dancing in this. There’s a whole Lindy Hop number. There are a lot of very large dance numbers.”

Facts about Frederick VI that live rent free in my head (that I simply must share) ft. a super sleepy Hopster

One of my current interests is a Danish King by the name of Frederick VI. I'm currently really tired, but really wanting to post about him. so this wont be as organized as i normally do. i'll try to avoid making it a wall of words, but this is probably going to be a word vomit.

Family/Romantic Life

this guy was a pretty caring dad, and I love that for him. This man fathered. generally a great dad. dare I say the epitome of a good dad from the time. especially given his less-than-good start in life.

his romantic life was one hell of a ride. like- he had a long-time mistress (of like- 30 years) with whom he would have an affair. but, during the Congress of Vienna, he cheated on both his wife and his long-time mistress with another woman. his mistress, Rikke, then cheated on him. That led to ever more soap opera-like stuff happening.

Man not only had legitimate (2) and illegitimate (5?) kids but took on another nine kids. Well, some of them were adults at the time, but still. basically, when his brother-in-law (a duke) died, he and a friend of said duke became the legal guardians of said kiddos. and from the sounds of it, it wasn't just throwing money at them. he actually interacted with them to a certain extent.

to piggyback on no. 3, he had agreed with his sister-in-law that one of the boys, Christian, would go to Copenhagen and attend the land cadet academy. Christian would go to Copenhagen one year after the decision. he didn't live with the monarch but did spend a fair amount of time with them. it is said the king was fond of him. unbeknownst to all of them, Christian would turn out to be Christian IX, the father-in-law of Europe.

he was a parsimonious guy, at least when it came to himself. he would wear his clothing until they were worn out. only then did he get a new one? two of his desks, both his personal one and the one for his aide are simplistic, and so are his things in general. even his rolling chair- which is in Fredericksborg castle, is worn out looking. hell- what I'm pretty sure was his own bed was nothing but an Iron camp bed! granted, he only spent a few days a week in it, as he was staying with his mistress. or his wife.

regarding his mistresses, he took really good care of them. I'm only uncertain about one- which is the French one he had at some point, which did produce a daughter. For the other two, however, it's pretty clear. the one woman he met in Vienna, Caroline Seufert, was granted a large pension from him. his long-time mistress, Rikke Dannemand, was given an apartment near him, and enough money to live a bourgeoise life. That was a far cry from Rikke's former life in Nyboder. My only problem with this was the sheer age gap between them. with Rikke, there was a 22-year age gap. with Seufert, it was 29 years. both women were under twenty when all of this started.

Political

he tended to not threaten people's lives. there was a case where one of the members of the chancellery, Anders Sandø Ørsted, who was a prominent critic of Frederick, and would often write about such criticisms. instead of exiling, punishing, or hell- even executing the guy, he just gave him the choice of his job or his pen. Ørsted chose his job.

was a gruff man (likely due to his upbringing) but quite generous with his people. notably, some of the most realistic small gifts I've seen in assorted Danish museums were given by him. For example, there is a little golden snuff box sitting in the National Museum of Denmark that he had given to somebody as a reward. It is small, intricate, and made of gold. but most of all, it was usable.

His reaction to the July Revolution was good. the November after it, constitutions were made for Schleswig and the Kingdom of Denmark- but the absolute monarchy was still in place. on top of that, 4 Advisory assemblies were created. One for each major region of Denmark. this was a very primitive version of what was desired (and what would come not long after) as the king still appointed a number of the members, and only 3% of the population got the right to vote.

He tended to overwork himself. sometimes until he got sick (like during the Vienna congress). he died still working. he also had the belief that no matter was too small for the king. this meant that he stuck his nose into a lot of paperwork he didn't necessarily need to worry about. this tended to elongate the completion of paperwork, but it did make him more aware of what was going on in the country, so there was some benefit.

Other

he built one of the finest gardens I have ever strolled in in Copenhagen. If you are on any servers with me, there's a 99% chance you've seen the pictures.

It's obvious that his strongest gene was his hair. In every portrait I've seen of his children, they're blonde. like- super blonde.

The man was stubborn as hell, not wanting to change too much. this tended to rear its ugly head from time to time, but he wasn't too stubborn to not kind of acknowledge his mistakes.

that was a word vomit... I do apologize. but thats all my sleepy brain can think of. I'll likely have more when i wake up tomorrow. and if i actually find the time, I can go into more detail. I just need to check the copyrights on a few of the books i have.

PLO, Palestinians, Hamas, Gaza. Pallywood.

So many lies, it's hard to know where to start.

Gaza is said to be a closed-air prison. It's not in the least.

Gaza is the most dense place on the planet? No, it's not even in the top 150. With 2.2 million people on 365 sq km's, this comes to 6,000 people per sq km, about 16x less dense that Malé Maldives (107,000 people per sq km), 3.4x less dense than Paris, France, and 3.1x less dense than Union City (19,000 people per sq ft).

As far as the amount of destruction?

Not much compared to typical urban warfare in the last 8 decades: For example, the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria, once the Vienna of the Middle East, has been reduced to rubble thanks to infighting between ISIS, Al Quds, and the Iranians (IRGC). Hamburg and Dresden were reduced to rubble by the allies in 1942-45.

The population is being starved by Israel? Well, not that it's Israel's job to feed its enemies during wartime, reality is, over 250,000 tonnes of food (450,000 tons including other items like water and medical supplies) has been facilitated by Israel (while Egypt has sealed its border with Gaza) and delivered since the war began. That's the equivalent of 55 weeks of food for every man, woman, and child of Gaza.
