their latest message:
Sorry for the urgent note, right now, the New York City Police are using batons and pepper spray to forcibly evict the peaceful Occupy Wall St protesters from Liberty Plaza.

It’s outrageous! New York’s billionaire mayor, Mike Bloomberg, waited for the cover of night to launch this shady operation, and is counting on the world to sleep through it. But, we can show him that he is wrong -- and stop the eviction. Last time he tried this thousands of us called his office and shamed him to pull back the police. Let's do it again!

LIVE PERFORMANCE AM TANZFESTIVAL OLTEN DIESEN DONNERSTAG

2011-11-15T00:56:00.001-08:00

Aktuell auf www.tanzinolten.ch:

Beginn: 20 Uhr - Kulturzentrum Schützi

Tanzprojekt Elfi Schäfer-Schafroth, Zürich
«Das Rote Buch - Liber Novus von C.G. Jung»

Poetische Tanz-, Wort- und Klanginstallationen zu C.G. Jung, mit anschliessender Diskussion mit Künstlern, Experten und dem Publikum.
Ein Auftragsprojekt für das Museum Rietberg in Zürich zur Ausstellung «Das Rote Buch» von C.G. Jung. Man erlebt eine spannende Spiegelung zwischen Archaischem und Avantgarde, tänzerisch grossartig umgesetzt. Das geheimnisvolle Tagebuch von C.G. Jung nimmt Gestalt an, verlockt zum Reflektieren. Neben Deutungen der Experten sollen auch Kunstschaffende zum Zuge kommen. Die fünf Interventionen zeigen kurze Ergebnisse der Recherchen. Die Kunstschaffenden bringen sich mit raffiniert ausgewählten Musikstücken oder mit eigens komponierten Choreografien ein und schaffen so einen spannenden Dialog mit Jungs Werken.
Elfi Schäfer-Schafroth tanzt zu elektronischer Livemusik von Roy Bruno Mantel und Texten von C.G. Jung, gesprochen von Verena Hoehne. Anschliessend an das 40-minütige Stück sprechen die Künstler mit Experten, dem Autor und Choreographen Norbert Servos sowie dem Philosophen und Musiker Martin Kunz, und dem Publikum über das Stück und Werk C.G. Jungs. Norbert Servos ist ein wichtiger Wegbereiter des zeitgenössischen Tanzes in Deutschland und gilt als international anerkannter Spezialist mit weltweiten Publikationen.

Im Museum Rietberg findet zur Zeit die Ausstellung „Das Rote Buch von C.G. Jung“ statt. In dem Roten Buch verdichtete und illustrierte C.G. Jung seine Tagebücher in den Jahren von 1913 bis 1930. Er schuf darin ein Gesamtkunstwerk und die Grundlage seines Lebenswerk. C.G. Jung selbst hat sein Rotes Buch nie veröffentlicht. Es wurde erst 2009 als eindrucksvolles Faksimile publiziert. Das Tanzprojekt wurde gemeinsam mit Roy Bruno Mantel (elektronische Musik) und Verena Höhne (Sprache) eingeladen, eine der fünf Interventionen zu gestalten, in denen zeitgenössische Künstler auf das Werk reagieren. Anschliessend an die Aufführung finden Gespräche mit den Künstlern, Experten und dem Publikum statt.

Bakun - Pool of Blood featuring Rahmat Haron by zenmetalshirt

Doa Selamat

Bakun, kukenang engkau dari jauh. Dari sebuah ingatan terkoyak, rusuh dan rabak.
Aku yang terkedu di kamar kaku BangsaT Utama dan hujan lebat menyikat cemar kota - lambat-lambat menyerap kotor kimia dan asap ke dalam tanah masam tajam berasid ini.

Bakun, kutahu banyak yang telah terkorban. Rimba seluas Singapura hanya tinggal gambar rajah sehelai peta lama.
Kehidupan hutan tebal dicukur botak kemajuan. Ditogel tarah pesta bogel pengkhianatan gila harta tamak kuasa haloba dunia kota.
Konon empangan itu bekal tenaga menggerak nyawa tugu-tugu batu pembangunan.

Bakun, bangkai kehidupan tenggelam tak berkafan. Darah bertakung, air bergenang.Tak ada yang tenang. Ia mimpi yang patah, musnah.

Bakun, segala berkecai tercampak ke mana, kehidupan ke mana, empangan ke mana, balak ke mana.Akhirnya yang tinggal tak bersembelih, yang tanggal tak berdalih hanyallah penderitaan,ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooo

Bakun, kini rusuh tubuhmu kemarau kering, kontang dan terbongkang.hujan basah, berkeruh becak lopak berdarah.

Bakun, engkau yang mati terlentang, ruh merayap ke serata negeri. semangat hinggap di tingkap kaku bangsat utama mengagau seriau.

Bakun, engkau belum aman lagi nanti aku akan terbang ke sana dengan kepak Kenya Lang, ku suberang laut China Selatan. dengan pedang keadilan kita akan keluar memburu puaka-puaka alam itu.
