contrast he could find in Europe to the scenes of his childhood and started for
Rome. He lived in North Germany, then he moved to Bavaria, spending his winters
in Paris. In 1882 he visited Norway for a time but returned to the continent of
Europe. His voluntary exile from his native land ended in the spring of 1893,
when he settled at Holskogen, near Kristiansand. His works were numerous after
that.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumk-rNw85xs4lFmTPfIuqOuvZ23nnuu3rjWO68nmEjynjrORP0LgZ6Bgj1TqkUGnq5mDIWbttkNvTdqLGC_IQt_dqUWPbhP-rVFWRvKeVAWEsdgsy9rMZrENQzEOKpYQm91lRLHiGnVnJ9CHa9bQ5-Lw2ORhal1J37p3ewxRYhYi1gXPY1nmMldgSGQ/s242/Jonas%20Lie(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="242" data-original-width="209" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgumk-rNw85xs4lFmTPfIuqOuvZ23nnuu3rjWO68nmEjynjrORP0LgZ6Bgj1TqkUGnq5mDIWbttkNvTdqLGC_IQt_dqUWPbhP-rVFWRvKeVAWEsdgsy9rMZrENQzEOKpYQm91lRLHiGnVnJ9CHa9bQ5-Lw2ORhal1J37p3ewxRYhYi1gXPY1nmMldgSGQ/w345-h400/Jonas%20Lie(1).jpg" width="345" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Beret And Boinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02547349500135165830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-68770434967236360202024-03-12T05:00:00.036+13:002024-03-12T05:00:00.241+13:00🐐Bique-les; the Return of the Goat🐐<p><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">Today is

“bairéad an Fhrancaigh” (the beret of the Frenchman), which is pronounced the
same as “the beret of the rat.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

white Alba truffle. Desired by the wealthiest patrons in the world, it remains
a pungent but rarified mystery. It cannot be cultivated or found, even by the
most resourceful of modern excavators. The only souls on Earth who know how to
dig it up are a tiny circle of canines and their silver-haired human
companions-Italian elders with walking sticks and devilish senses of humor-who
only scour for the truffle at night so as not to leave any clues for others.
Still, this small enclave of hunters induces a feverish buying market that
spans the globe.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

filmmakers Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw (The Last Race, 2018 Sundance Film

a precarious ritual constantly threatened by greed and outside influences but

unearth the magic within nature.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KFYhrc0AnVw" width="320" youtube-src-id="KFYhrc0AnVw"></iframe></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an

The Company of Five and The October Group. In 1935 Blin served as Antonin
Artaud's assistant director for his production of Les Cenci at the Folies-Wagrams
theatre in 1935. Following his work with Artaud, Blin focused on 'political
street-theatre.'</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; clear: left; color: white; float: left; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="177" data-original-width="284" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBpOSC0veL1GhSutTrfXdvpJoLOm-A48w3gimWUtlki5QKlWA4nLuSDceqTfQiVsERj6wlVOhuR9JCrGUAVFwZ0VZOPArzSjRgaWHA_Extlt7jlcl3fZpqBcPkTYE-nhYua7KKy_tA9sM04Q_TvKX9f7jEtvF9yOy5gAa_s-4zK7dmZ9dXEzSksPwK-OOy/w400-h249/roger%20blin%202.jpeg" width="400" /></span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">During the war, Blin was a liaison between the Resistance
and the French Army. His extensive career as both director and actor in both
film and theatre has been largely defined by his work and relationship with
Artaud, Samuel Beckett and Jean Genet.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Beret And Boinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02547349500135165830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-57074001943687462962024-02-24T05:00:00.032+13:002024-02-24T05:00:00.291+13:00Antonin Artaud<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOj_uOfGg-p6gQyY9UWR-90rIMAIjaiMOsbOeZBjXL9F2fWwUwsLvI32hmbgxs-wxP2HSxjTBAO_EpBgbIEonTt4HonRH_6r4L5IbwUcHsGxvRmykFhHBSZSx08VEuMPL06-OfLUpXFd4LTwuAfz9I6PwwtMVxg19ks4NB8M-t8Y7tm3_mJoTpYo-ZCYZ/s1641/1200px-Antonin_Artaud_jeune_a_SD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1641" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQOj_uOfGg-p6gQyY9UWR-90rIMAIjaiMOsbOeZBjXL9F2fWwUwsLvI32hmbgxs-wxP2HSxjTBAO_EpBgbIEonTt4HonRH_6r4L5IbwUcHsGxvRmykFhHBSZSx08VEuMPL06-OfLUpXFd4LTwuAfz9I6PwwtMVxg19ks4NB8M-t8Y7tm3_mJoTpYo-ZCYZ/w293-h400/1200px-Antonin_Artaud_jeune_a_SD.jpg" width="293" /></span></a></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">Antoine Marie Joseph Paul Artaud, better known as Antonin

Italians, Artaud was transferred to the psychiatric hospital in Rodez, well
inside Vichy territory, where he was put under the charge of Dr. Gaston
Ferdière. At Rodez Artaud underwent electroshock treatments and art therapy.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black; clear: left; color: white; float: left; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Ch4ipFmJihzaZB7qxVTcxJo8J0AcWhxndWwwOxBXdoIbmHyk5zRUWZqxBwb6scASD3neNZNYXOhEYiPbLV71d0DuxEbE-s2S6QG84LRr9uY-aBDVQvYHG_ki9rBPH4GyYlBYd5ZY0sV6808INKGDCemQuKp5857qrQAxYs958Wyk41Dp4vPzSl97I_Mx/w400-h300/Antonin%20Artaud3.jpeg" width="400" /></span></div><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial;">The doctor believed that Artaud's habits of crafting magic
spells, creating astrology charts, and drawing disturbing images were symptoms
of mental illness. Artaud denounced the electroshock treatments and
consistently pleaded to have them suspended, while also ascribing to them
"the benefit of having returned him to his name and to his self
mastery". Scholar Alexandra Lukes points out that "the 'recovery' of
his name" might have been "a gesture to appease his doctors"
conception of what constitutes health".</span><o:p></o:p><p></p><br /><p></p>Beret And Boinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02547349500135165830noreply@blogger.com0
