“We
had a lot of trouble with western mental health workers who came
here immediately after the genocide and we had
to ask some of them to leave.
They
came and their practice did not involve being outside in the sun where you
begin to feel better, there was no music or drumming to get your blood flowing
again, there was no sense that everyone had taken the day off so that the
entire community could come together to try to lift you up and bring you back
to joy,
there was no acknowledgement of the depression
as something invasive and external that could actually be cast out again.
Instead they would take people one at a time
into these dingy little rooms and have them sit around for an hour or so and
talk about bad things that had happened to them. We had to ask them to leave.”

Aziza Brahim interpreta
en el plató de la antigua Suristán la canción de Nayim Alal que se ha
convertido en su talismán. http://www.myspace.com/mariemhassanof...
Cantra una
cancion tradicional shararaoui, en la que
alaba la grandeza de Dios, a
quien simpre le va implorar. La palabra
Moulana se repite en esta canción, lo cual se
traduce como Mi Señor, aunque la traducción pued eeno ser adecuada,
porque esta música es algo raro y extraordianrio…

Es una película animada japonesa
dirigida por Isao Takahata. Fue la primera película dirigida por Takahata con
el Studio Ghibli y el tercer largometraje del estudio.
El 5 de abril de 2018 muere a los 82
años Isao Takahata (R.I.P) quien fuera guionista de esta magna obra de
animación japonesa.
El 21 de septiembre de 1945, un
indigente adolescente de 14 años agoniza en una estación de tren. Al morir por
inanición, su espíritu empieza a recordar los sucesos anteriores a su muerte.
En el Japón del final de la Segunda
Guerra Mundial, 1945. La aviación estadounidense somete las ciudades japonesas
a continuos ataques aéreos. En uno de los bombardeos, la ciudad de Kōbe se
convierte en un infierno humeante para Seita, de 14 años, y su hermana pequeña
Setsuko, de 5 años, que son hijos de un oficial de la marina japonesa. Durante
la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ambos viven con su madre, pero un día, tras un bombardeo,
ellos se retrasan y no consiguen llegar al búnker donde ella los espera.
Después del bombardeo los dos hermanos buscan a su madre, y Seita la encuentra
muy malherida en la escuela que ha sido convertida en un hospital de urgencia.
Poco después la madre muere y los dos hermanos deciden alojarse en casa de sus
tíos quienes no los reciben con agrado, su indiferencia inicial pronto deja
paso a un desprecio cada vez más evidente.
Así que los dos hermanos terminan por
irse a vivir por su cuenta a un refugio antiaéreo abandonado. Pero aunque allí
pueden vivir con mayor desahogo y sin suponer un estorbo para nadie, las cosas
no les van mejor; la comida escasea, no pueden esperar ningún tipo de ayuda, y
lo que es peor, los estragos de la desnutrición cada vez son más visibles en la
pequeña Setsuko.
Música de Astor Piazzolla
Interpretación: Grupo Elegia - Natalia Shkil-violín, Mars Yamalov-violín,
Sergey Shkil-contrabajo, Elvira Yamalova-piano.(2011)

Knowing now… That you . Your were your own dream this entire time. Never stop
Dreaming.
