Director Klaus Guth: “Two months at the Bolshoi, which pulled me out of the lockdown and gave me work on Salome, I will remember with joy” theater, answered the questions of «Culture».
— In your interviews you said that you don’t go to the same opera twice. If there is a demand for it, then simply transfer the finished performance. Why did Salome make an exception?
— I’ve noticed for a long time that the directors’ second staging of the same opera is often weaker than the first — that’s why I rarely remake my performances. I staged Salome a few years ago in Berlin, and for me that performance is a special story: there was a personal motive associated with my family, and the Deutsche Oper building itself, which rhymes with post-war Germany in my mind.
At the Bolshoi Theater I broadcast something else — the action is relegated to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, closer to Oscar Wilde.
— Is it important for you to feel the change of centuries?
— Biblical history, the decline of the Roman Empire, the change of centuries — humanity in these periods is going through strange, unknown processes, when what seemed solid and unshakable, comes into motion, into instability, and it is clear that, as before, already will not be. The collapse of what seemed reliable is coming. Man is looking for new points of support for survival. I am not talking about political courses, but rather about the latest scientific inventions, the discovery of psychoanalysis, the rationale for the subconscious and the role of the irrational principle. Now, after all, it is also a time of breaking — and not for one single country, but for the whole world.
The earth leaves from under Herod’s feet. He is a voluptuary and completely sick person, his wife Herodias is inadequate and knows that her husband seeks to use her daughter.
Strauss turned out to be a singer of the female soul, he knows everything about ladies, he is able to convey not only their feelings, but premonitions. Iokanaan makes Salome understand that her mother and stepfather are villains, criminals, and for the first time she begins to understand that she herself is different, and a different reality can exist. And she destroys both the world of her parents and the world of Jokanaan in order to gain her freedom.
— And Salome — who is she?
— Still a victim. She was distorted by her upbringing: a crazy mother, a stepfather who lusts for her, who is at a crystal age. And around — blood, cruelty, terror, violence. She has not seen anything else and does not know. And he perceives his body only as a means of seduction. From this unconscious, determined by childhood, her actions grow in adulthood. This topic is important.
— “We all come from childhood” — is the thought formulated by Exupery relevant at all times?
— What matters to me today is its refraction: the topic of domestic violence and the topic of sexual violence is what we are facing.
After all, the eroticism of the Dance of the Seven Veils — and even a severed head — will not surprise anyone. And they didn’t see it! But in our days I can’t stand the action — I’m tired of these transfers, so often unjustified. Moreover, I want to show that a story that unfolds in the times of a hundred years ago can be modern and relevant.
— Are the themes that you highlight in the opera or are you completing the plot?
— In music, melodic beauty and harmony are accompanied by dark violence in wind instruments. The composer knows how to combine perfect harmony and destructive energy. Sometimes the contents of a beautiful package is not beautiful at all. The beauty and richness of the shell can deceive. So Herod is not saved by his magnificent castle. All this is in music. I adore Strauss and feel that he, of course, opened the way for opera into the twentieth century.
— Why does the theater rarely turn to stage readings of Salome?
— The opera is incredibly difficult — in terms of the speed with which you need to pronounce the text to the loud sound of the orchestra.
According to a terrible plot story, which can only be understood under one condition — the performers must not interrupt the logic of the dramatic game for a second. I do not think that there are more than five singers in the world who can perform the parts of Salome and Herod in accordance with the composer’s intention. This is an opera that should cause confusion in the soul, sympathy in the heart and be understandable to everyone.
— Your work at the Bolshoi is coming to an end. What are your plans next?
— I will return to quarantine and be at home again with my family. The job will remain a dream for now. So almost two months in the Bolshoi, which pulled me out of the lockdown and gave me creativity and so many interesting meetings, I will always remember with joy and gratitude.

VladivostokDevelopment of inventive thinking
If your child is in elementary school, looks at the world with wide eyes, is interested in inventions and the process of their creation.
You would like your child to be more adventurous, to be smart, to believe in their ideas and to bring them to life.
I offer you classes on the development of inventive thinking and ingenuity for children from 6 to 12 years old based on TRIZ pedagogy — the theory of inventive problem solving.
We analyze different ways of finding ideas, solve inventive problems, develop creativity.
Already in the 8th lesson, the child will learn to find ideas.
Classes start in September. Write to direct and we will arrange a trial lesson.

For a child to use ingenuity
If you want a child to be able to find ideas, invent games for himself from improvised materials, use ingenuity to become bolder and more independent.
Now it is important that the child is not afraid to express himself, express his thoughts and be able to cope with difficulties.
For those parents who care about the development of their child’s thinking. Who do not have the time and understandable system to deal with the child on their own at home.
I offer online classes once a week for 50 minutes. For children from 6 to 12 years old. After 10 lessons, the child will learn to find ideas.
Classes start in September. Write to direct and we will arrange a trial lesson.

How did we live without gadgets?
⠀
They lived wonderfully, many will say.
⠀
We ran in the yard with the guys, played Cossack robbers, rubber bands, bouncers, etc. And they also came up with an infinite number of games! 😉
⠀
The world is developing at a great speed. Gadgets are part of it, that can’t be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to help children develop their thinking, because computer games do not develop in large numbers. It appears too lazy to think, too lazy to learn, too lazy to change something… 😵 The child cannot think of an occupation for himself, he no longer wants to communicate live, he is more interested in building virtual worlds.
⠀
Of course, TRIZ is not a magic wand that solves all problems. Getting used to gadgets is not formed in 1 day and the degree of dependence is different for everyone.
⠀
But in TRIZ pedagogy there are so many opportunities to switch the child, bring him back to reality so that he can look at our wonderful world from different angles, so that he at least sometimes thinks about something, turns on his brain and kindles curiosity 😍
⠀
What it could be:
⠀
— solving open problems (I wrote in the last post).
You can buy a book with open problems and discuss them with your child at least every day;
⠀
— play danetki. There are also sets of ready-made danetok for teenagers;
⠀
— ask questions to think;
⠀
— buy fascinating books (encyclopedias) of the Russian scientist, mathematician Yakov Perelman and read together. Why together!? Because a child who already has an addiction to gadgets will most likely answer that he does not want to. And this is understandable. He is too lazy to think. And if you read and discuss together, you will get such a mini lesson that is useful for both you and your child.
⠀
By the way, I recently talked about the cartoon «Too lazy to learn». Find it on YouTube🤗

As promised, the answer to the problem
A peasant invented a fire-fighting solution.
The wood impregnated with it became incombustible. He built and set fire to the house at a trade and industrial exhibition, thus making an excellent advertisement for his invention. Along the way, he also won several cash bets from skeptics.

How to become bolder! 🌟
⠀
Principles of TRIZ pedagogy (Anatoly Gin):
⠀
- the principle of freedom of choice;
- principle of openness;
- operating principle;
- feedback principle;
- the principle of ideality.
⠀
Today I’ll tell you more about the principle of openness and how it helps kids become bolder 🤗
⠀
In the classroom, we regularly solve open problems that develop curiosity and give an understanding that the world of knowledge is limitless.
⠀
When solving an open problem, the child analyzes the condition (often vague), puts forward different solutions, builds hypotheses, and if he solved it in his own way, but at the same time justified his opinion (and therefore decided!!!), then there will be only a plus for this child.
Even if his solution does not match the control answer.
⠀
When guys work in a group, it’s even more interesting to look for solutions. The children gradually realize that they have the right to their opinion. There is courage in expressing their thoughts, the guys learn, on the one hand, to explain their point of view, and on the other hand, to work in a team, learn to listen to other opinions and look for the most effective, economical and environmentally friendly solution!🌟
⠀
We develop critical thinking!
⠀
Review about it in the carousel 🤝
⠀
Educational open tasks are tasks where there can be several solutions, but there is one control answer. This is not math where there is only one correct answer.
⠀
Life constantly throws us similar tasks where there are no sufficient conditions for solving. For example, how do you find a job? how to reduce traffic congestion? how to open the car if the key is lost?…
Our life consists of open tasks.
