Die Wupper ist ein vielfauml;ltiges und eigenwilliges Schauspiel. Das erste Drama der Dichterin thematisiert soziale und religiouml;se Gegensauml;tze im Industriemilieu des Wuppertals. Anstelle der klassischen Handlungsentwicklung; die noch Gerhart Hauptmann bevorzugte; werden schlaglichtartig und atmosphauml;risch verdichtet Szenen aneinandergereiht. An den Schicksalen von Mitgliedern der Unternehmerfamilie Sonntag und der Arbeiterfamilie Pius werden existenzielle Grundfragen dargestellt.Bei der ersten Auffuuml;hrung nach dem Krieg; 1958 in Duuml;sseldorf; in der Inszenierung von Hans Bauer und mit dem Buuml;hnenbild von Teo Otto; kam es zu wuuml;tenden Protesten. Im 1966 neu erouml;ffneten Schauspielhaus Wuppertal war Die Wupper dann ein groszlig;er Triumph.

Gripping Ballet Bio; Exquisitely WrittenBy Natalia OliveraJoel Lobenthals ALLA OSIPENKO: BEAUTY AND RESISTANCE IN SOVIET BALLET (Oxford Univ Press; 2016) offers one of the best-researched; most fascinating AND clearly-written insights on the Kirov Ballet and artistic life in the USSR. Osipenko; with her lean lines and beauty; was an artist and ballerina ahead of her time yet; sadly; one who was rarely selected to participate in Kirov tours to major Western capitals and never to America. Hence; this book goes a long way toward correcting a huge knowledge gap for balletomanes. This is one of the finest books (English or Russian languages) written on late-Soviet ballet history. It reads like an autobiography; which makes sense; as Lobenthals main resource was a series of 20 face-to-face interviews with Osipenko herself; as well as years of research in Russia. Learn about her studying under the great pedagogue Vaganova...her early triumphs in Paris...the creation of Grigorovichs Stone Flower...her fighting against the conservative and authoritarian forces in the theater...working with the difficult choreographer Leonid Jacobson and future luminaries Nureyev and Baryshnikov...her four marriages (and friends in between)...her eventual move to America after her dancing days; etc. In sum; this is a treasure of a book and the only English-language biography of one of the most fascinating ballerinas of the 20th Century.
