From the deep dark wood, the Gruffalo’s Child has wandered on to her very own 50p coin for the first time, in celebration of the story’s 20th anniversary. The new collectible follows the Royal Mint’s popular coin which celebrated the world’s most loved woodland monster, The Gruffalo, in 2019.‌ Struck at The Royal Mint’s headquarters in South Wales, the 50 pence piece features an original illustration by Axel Sheffler of the brave Gruffalo’s Child in the wintry setting of the deep dark wood, alongside the quick-thinking little Mouse.

I discuss the Children’s book: Zog by Julia Donaldson and Axle Sheffler: both the English version and the Irish Gaelic version. ‘weeping’ in Irish Gaelic is: ‘ag olagón’. In Zog, the dragon is weeping because he bashed his head against a tree. The Book of Lamentations is called: Leabhar na nOlagón in Irish Gaelic.

At its core, an art museum is essentially a narrative of empire. If, as Napoleon quipped, history is a set of lies agreed upon, a museum is their physical manifestation. Aptly, the Met—the grandest, most august museum in a city that likes to think of itself as the center of the world—boasts all the baubles that connote having made it, including a few once owned by Napoleon himself. Cleopatra’s needle, the Temple of Dendur, Greek goodies faded polychrome or ghostly blanched, Persian carpets, Old Masters, Estruscan jewels, Japanese lacquer, South Asian sacred sculpture, Chinese vases, Senegalese masks, Polynesian canoes. The good, old stuff! All in one place, the best of it all from every corner of the globe. 

Cara Marsh Sheffler - There’s No Such Thing as an Ethical Museum

"Both the Met and the AMNH are flawed. One model tells the story of the human perception of meaning and our quest to make the mortal coil a bit more bearable; it is a story of status and hierarchy, and the ugly, inescapable truth that inequality and the suffering of most are the cost of beauty and luxury for few. The other model tells the story of the impact of humans on Earth, with the great caveat that it’s the world’s most unreliable narrators telling it: humans."

Latina: "Il Gruffalò" di Fondazione Aida ets al Teatro Comunale d'Annunzio

Latina: "Il Gruffalò" di Fondazione Aida ets al Teatro Comunale d'Annunzio. Secondo spettacolo per la rassegna Appuntamento per famiglie nell’ambito della stagione del Teatro Comunale D’Annunzio, organizzata dal Comune di Latina e ATCL circuito multidisciplinare del Lazio, in collaborazione con Associazione Teatro Ragazzi di Latina, con Il Gruffalò di Fondazione Aida ets in scena domenica 19 marzo ore 18. Un musical per tutta la famiglia tratto dal bestseller di Julia Donaldson e Axel Sheffler, interamente realizzato in Italia. Il Gruffalò non ha certamente bisogno di presentazioni. Il personaggio protagonista delle pubblicazioni omonime è ormai apprezzato e conosciuto da migliaia di bambini e genitori in tutto il mondo grazie alle traduzioni realizzate in oltre trenta lingue. La commedia musicale è stata prodotta per la prima volta in Italia da Fondazione Aida in collaborazione con il Centro Servizi Culturali Santa Chiara di Trento, il Teatro Stabile del Veneto e la BSMT – Bernstein School of Musical di Bologna, con il testo di Pino Costalunga e Manuel Renga che cura anche adattamento e regia. Pur mantenendosi fedeli ai testi e all’iconografia delle illustrazioni originali, Fondazione Aida presenta uno spettacolo musicale interamente nuovo. «Cosa fanno quattro giovani amici in un bosco? Vanno a ripulirlo, direte voi, visto che si vedono all’inizio dello spettacolo proprio mentre lo stanno facendo. Ma a noi viene il dubbio che ci vadano per passare qualche giorno e, soprattutto, qualche notte, accampati in una tenda, ad aspettare il momento più bello della giornata, cioè quando, attorno a un fuoco, si racconteranno storie di paura. E cosa c’è di meglio di un bosco di notte per una bella storia di paura? Racconteranno la storia di un topolino che, affamato, decide di attraversare il bosco frondoso e pieno di insidie per trovare la ghianda che tanto gli piace e che incontra. Strada facendo, incontra tre brutti ceffi che lo vogliono mangiare: una volpe, una civetta e una biscia. Ma il furbo topolino è scaltro di pensiero e sa bene come cavarsela, con l’aiuto della sua grande Fantasia trova una soluzione che nessuno si può immaginare, nemmeno lui, forse, un mostro terribile dal nome assai noto ai bambini: IL GRUFFALÒ. Lasceremo intatte le deliziose rime della scrittrice inglese e gli attori indosseranno dei fantastici costumi che si rifanno alle meravigliose illustrazioni del disegnatore tedesco. I bambini riconosceranno così facilmente quel testo, gustandosi anche divertenti e originalissime canzoni scritte appositamente per lo spettacolo. Le situazioni comiche e mimiche, nonché balli e danze, vanno ad arricchire la favola originale. Forse qualcuno del pubblico uscirà dallo spettacolo chiedendosi se esista veramente quello spaventosissimo. Certo che esiste quel mostro: nella nostra storia, ma è un mostro per ridere e giusto per dire ai bambini: usate la fantasia, l’intelligenza e anche un bosco selvaggio e frondoso potrà diventare un luogo in cui è divertente vivere, almeno per qualche tempo, almeno per il tempo dell’infanzia» racconta Pino Costalunga.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article
