Understanding 9/11tv Zharkie 1TV February 9, 2024 11:30pm-12:26am MSK
11:30 pm
the countdown was going on, and it was a thing similar to the launch of rockets. all sports facilities have been built and tested, but working on one large infrastructure facility is failing, and this is important. fisht stadium, the venue for the opening ceremony, doesn't look like it will be ready any time soon. in sochi the weather is unpredictable and the people directing the opening ceremony were forced to make big changes to the model during construction, it was supposed to have a view of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other, but now they are adding a roof to it, russia is not a country that is known efficiency, building all this on time will be a statement to the whole world, the decision was made to build a roof, and this roof determined everything, because...
11:32 pm
foreign specialists all over the world who would do the opening ceremony for them. we are sure that after the opening of the summer olympics in london , it is unlikely that anyone will be able to surprise the world with something unusual.
11:33 pm
if we recall the entire preparation process from 2007 to 2014, there were a lot of skeptics assessments about whether we can hold such an olympiad, we have organizational talents, so to speak, infrastructural ones, and somewhere only on the second or third day the negative, skeptical assessments changed to the exact opposite, it really was a wonderful, delightful holiday, we gained:
11:34 pm
more self-confidence, got rid of many of the complexes that were there, so to speak, yes, because many within the country had mistrust, this changed, and the world saw us differently, at that time it was the largest investment project there currently is, very complex , difficult, in cramped conditions, because it was the most compact olympics, we managed to re-create the infrastructure, transform the city, transform the region, and we learned how to do it, we were able... to do it, and of course, the material heritage is a world resort, the best resort in russia, there will be simply positive impressions of this from this grandiose holiday, a huge inner satisfaction from the fact that you were a participant in history, the creation of history our country. the opening ceremony of the olympic
11:35 pm
games was like a bomb exploding in my head. i couldn’t believe that a country that... understands when something works, something doesn’t work, for example, when we did natasha rostova’s ballet number, which was basically a ballet number, a large multi-figure ballet number, at every jump vanya vasilyeva 4000 people exhaled so much that it was difficult to imagine
11:36 pm
that it would work. due to the fact that no one had ever done such things and it was a little scary, this is the uniqueness of such events, that it happens only once.
11:37 pm
i think we really. we are dedicated to creating something special in the history of europe, central asia and in the history of the greatness of the continent, europe and central asia, russia and the soviet union. it was a great honor for me, it was not easy in terms of time, energy and money, but it was easy because we were trying to create something for a higher purpose, something that was more important than our ambitions. i felt it, i felt it was going to happen for real to remember as art, it was so beautiful that i wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, in our minds russia appears as some kind of amazing and previously unfamiliar cultural universe to us. avangard
11:38 pm
is the most shocking number, which, together with this incredible rhythm of svidovo music. an incredible energy blow at the same time an ambivalent feeling, and what, what are the results of such cataclysms in the history of mankind.
11:40 pm
talking about the history of russia, it was impossible not to talk about the great patriotic war, we prepared about. of those sitting, there were 40,000 photographs, the animators who stood, so to speak, near
11:41 pm
the rows, had to ask everyone at that moment to bring this photo to their faces, and for everyone to stand in memory of those killed during the second world war. and these dead people looked at each other and at the opening ceremony, at the people they did not live to see.
11:42 pm
there is no life, the big theater is a house, this is my skin, all the horror that you yourself have to to prove that you exist in this world, but the viewer does not react, i saw this a lot, and i knew for sure, i don’t want to do that, i always remember the moment when he was assigned to dance not a prince, in his beloved lake, but an evil genius , so he managed to turn his party around in such a way that...
11:43 pm
where i made a very important decision, in the patagonian fjords of chile there are hundreds of kilometers of coastline where no human has ever set foot before. machu picchu is a city floating above the clouds, we can be transported to another time and feel the genius, the greatness of american cultures real ones that were destroyed by europeans. from all points of view, the imks and otstyks were head and shoulders above in a cultural and civilizational sense. today, every brazilian is a little indian, a little european and a little african, and this is what
11:44 pm
enriches our people. the cuban revolution is one of the most important events of the 20th century, it was led by a group of revolutionaries led by fidel castro and ernestovar. latin america is one of the advantages of the modern and future world order, is there a separate...
11:45 pm
with friends, don’t wander along the wide avenues for you you have not seen the best city on earth and the song floats my heart these words are for you.
11:46 pm
there was a unique chance to present the face of the new modern russia to the world, which lived in certain stereotypes, which is why the fantastic flying islands, kandinsky and kiitezhgrad, appealed to natasha rostova. and the suprematist ballet, and the steam locomotive that flew forward, many, many things, and the obligatory elements of the program with the removal of flags or the lighting of the olympic cauldron, all this worked for the image of russia and all this was absorbed by the world, a global audience of more than 3.5 billion spectators, the fact that there was a lump in the throat, starting from the hooligan exit of our
11:47 pm
athletes, they would not catch up with us until the very end. ceremony, i think, could be said by many who were in the stadium itself and watched on tv screens, even the critical western media did not change their attitude, to our surprise, already somewhere in the middle of the games they stopped criticizing us and left us only with praise.
11:48 pm
the quintessence of this discovery was the image of the troika, because the troika is kind of capacious, very recognizable, very special the emotional
11:49 pm
causes such a painful feeling, because this is, as it were, the essence of russian culture, the russian people. when you understand that for the next 2 hours you are answerable to 3 billion viewers around the world for your country, and any mess you make will not be attributed to you. about your country , you will be internally responsible for this , this is a load that, in general, you don’t want to experience it again, you know, when at the very beginning of the ceremony, where one of the five rings that always opened was opened, then there were things that were technologically two three orders of magnitude more difficult,
11:50 pm
and it wasn’t a trick at all, it was actually simple. which was almost like taking out a cardboard cube, and at that moment i thought that if it didn’t open now, well, what prospect awaits us next? maybe it was luck, because in any case, and visually, we got the pictogram of our olympics in this way, because when it didn’t open, i told you how i felt at that moment.
11:51 pm
they made this ring of living people, which did not open immediately, but the funny thing is that the stadium, seeing that the ring did not open, i also groaned, and this is understandable, it lasted 2 seconds , but it worked, then the t-shirt that i came out at a press conference in this t-shirt, it seems to me that this is...
11:53 pm
but at least the russians have a sense of humor, they laughed over the main curiosity of the opening ceremony, where one ring was never revealed. the dancers formed five rings, one of which, the right one , did not open immediately. it is almost impossible to estimate the cost of this olympiad; it seems like the entire annual budget of the russian federation. in general there were games profitable, and the country earned 9 billion rubles. for the money, this is a very serious
11:54 pm
amount. no organizing committee, before or since, has earned such money. but that’s not even the point, the organizers created new standards in the field of holding games, which have gone down in the history of the international olympic committee as the gold standard, done in sochi. and now all games are organized, in general, according to these standards. the enthusiasm of russian fans surprises and delights. at the very beginning, when the russian team had a chance to win.
11:55 pm
the skiers showed an excellent result, after the gold i came into the room , sobbed into my pillow for an hour and a half, i cried with happiness, i was able to achieve the highest point in the sport, everyone remembers how in the last days we began to gain momentum in the team competition, it was, of course , very, very valuable for the athletes, very valuable for the fans, it was not... probably when we won the overall medal standings on the last day, and i think that this unification of people, unity, played a role here,
11:56 pm
when all people believe, when... athletes and fans are on the same side and believe in the best in victory, this miracle happened and at that moment we won the overall standings, we defeated everyone. when a huge number of fans gathered at the medal plaza and we listened to the anthems of the russian federation and all these thousands of fans did not leave, standing in the rain , goosebumps ran all over our bodies, this is one of
11:57 pm
the most vivid memories. about the olympic games, i consider the most important achievement in my life to be the fact that i carried the flag of our countries at the closing of the olympic games in sochi, this is an indescribable feeling and this is pride.
11:59 pm
an unrealistic holiday, simply an unrealistic holiday, an unrealistic super holiday of sports , which i saw only once, because everything else, which olympic games i was at, they don’t come close to being held in sochi, i was in turin, i was in vancouver and then not i was lucky enough to perform in sochi, i can say that it’s simple. super level, which, i think, will not soon be surpassed by anyone.
12:00 am
the first image that comes to me. what comes to mind when i think about the olympic games in sochi is the incredible delight of athletes around the world at the level of organization and beauty of these olympic games, and as you know, i am a former athlete, and this is very important to me. sochi 2014, in my opinion, changed the standards of the world olympic movement to a superlative degree.
12:01 am
to the volunteer movement, and today this movement lives and expands there, all sports and other events are implemented with the participation of volunteers, this is also wonderful, if we talk about the most memorable numbers. opening of the olympics, then from the point of view of me and my colleagues, we decided to highlight two: this is a dove of peace, which shocked us with the kind of grace, subtlety and purity we least expected to see in harsh russia.
12:04 am
the olympics in sochi is a kind of compass showing where our world is heading; we can certainly make it much better. of course, this requires money, infrastructure, desires and much more. the world has shaken like... sochi, my god, how amazing it is, we want to do it even better, and we are inspired by this to go further.
12:06 am
we'll talk to our guest, the founder and artistic director of music. can be comfortable when you always want to create new, new, new, new, in general , mortier is not the one who created brilliant performances, what he did, he opened the boundaries with this, gerard marchier, a legendary figure, i think, who played a huge role in your professional life, i talked to him for 15 minutes, he wrote text messages, maybe maybe he was playing pac-man, so you understand that... you're a fashionable conductor - what
12:07 am
to do so that they understand everything, they feel that they are smart, i'm in the hall for some wonderful concert and my phone rings, no i know how to turn it off, it ’s like a nightmare, some kind of spanish shame, podcast lab is on the first today, it’s obvious, war has been declared on me, the only thing i... don’t know yet is who commands the enemy army? i know that you promised me trom on the day i came of age, i can’t live without it, we have there will be a child, get ready for the wedding, grigory grigorievich, there is a plague in moscow, no one will leave the city until the infection is destroyed, and what ’s strange is that i’m calling you, asking you to come, but you don’t come, what’s the reason, i’m the next i don't want to be. the lieutenant is sick, he has something behind his head, he raised his hand to the queen,
12:08 am
to god’s anointed, you want me to kill the self-deceived, if only i was sure that she is a self-deceived, let’s talk like men, a great golden age, a great premiere from monday on the first.
12:10 am
the closing ceremony of the olympic games is clearly showed how strong the connection between russians and their national culture is, but at the same time a statement was made that...
12:11 am
now russia occupies a special political position in the world. this is difficult for me to adequately assess. i believe that people who are skeptical about russia should make a lot of effort to understand the history of the country, its mentality, its
12:12 am
desire for integration on common grounds. i believe that all people who are good by nature want the best for our world, but unfortunately there are others. there must be them less. russia is only asking for this, in my opinion. during the closing ceremony. skeptical of modern russia, with its traditionalism, homophobia, aggressiveness and ugly imperial mentality, i suddenly felt an extraordinary uplift, a feeling that i had never experienced in all my 54 years, and i was deeply struck by how little one can trust the prevailing stereotypes about this country, and how much we
12:13 am
don’t want to know anything about it. yes, goodbye to this earthly dream, yes, goodbye to the death of you.
12:14 am
of course, the two main and most banal most effective, like all banal images, are children who symbolize the future, because they are small and you know that they will grow up, mimosa, which, i don’t know about the world, but for russian people symbolizes the beginning of spring . it’s still winter and the first flowers that appear are mimosas, not snowdrops at all, the smell of mimosa is an arrogant yellow color on a white background, such a message that summer will soon be, not even spring, but summer, so we just combined these two in the finale the most powerful
12:15 am
banal exact images: children with mimosa, this is exactly about what will happen in the future.
12:16 am
hello, there's a theater podcast on the air. and me, its host anton getman. today we have a special issue in which we will talk about the legendary belgian intendant gerary martier. how did he manage to make an opera like this? how we see it today, why he remains a role model for theater managers
12:17 am
around the world, how he influenced the fate of the brightest representatives of musical theater today, we will talk about this and more with our guest, the founder and artistic director of eterno music, the outstanding conductor teodor kurendis.
12:18 am
theodore, hello, hello, gerard martier , a legendary figure, i think, who played a huge role in your professional life, tell me, you are people of completely different generations, how did this meeting turn out, how did it all begin, who
12:19 am
found whom? this was at the beginning of 2000, we did the play aida with dimitry chernyakov in novosibirsk, it was a very provocative performance of those times, there was a huge large-scale scenery and so on. and so on, we worked 24 hours a day day with dimitri to create exactly this degree that we wanted for the performance, and someone handed over some video tape to mortier, and mortier, as he saw, in principle, immediately came up with an offer to me, and he invited me to support the parisian opera, yeah, and i went straight away. a few months later, after the invitation, i did don carlos, then i
12:20 am
did a co-production of makbed, which we created a place with chernyakov novosibirs co-production with the opera bastille, and this is the first time, i remember, when the french came to novosibirs, because what decorations they made.
12:21 am
opera theater and you are also a reformer. this spirit of reform, the fact that martier rebuilt the opera, in principle, musical theater. and at the end of the last century, with some amazing, prophetic intuition, he actually determined the path of development of opera for 25 years ahead. in relation to kmartie, quite often, when you read his interviews or some texts about him, you come across. some kind of fighting vocabulary, he fought, he fought, he defended, tell me who he fought with, he’s like donkey hot,
12:22 am
himself. in the history of art of the 20th century. we'll see, what evolution happened in cinema, yes, not my cinema, they played with grimaces, they all looked like grimaces, then cinema became some kind of auteur art, i don’t know anymore, 60s, great about 50s, beliki opusi, draiger, thirties and
12:25 am
a petrified ego, which they come out with, of course, i’m not saying that this is bad, pay attention, in this, in this there is also some kind of cultivation of this art, such is what it is, i want to explain what, in which world did mortier come to fight, with whom did he fight, he came and began to fight with this great italian...
