* Another unfinished project... work-in-progress or under construction (i.e. LIFE).
If you read Virtual Theatre pages, you know that this new medium consists of several "old" fields, like Theatre, Film and ... Web. Well, I have directories for web as well. It will take a year only to get there. I had a lot of problems with combining the live show with the live video shooting... live webcasting. First, there are two crews (and two production meetings each week), because the video spectActors must rehearse their parts (three-cameras and the live editor). Besides, the prerecorded (forth channel). And, the post-production cycle! So, we never had time to do it all. The idea is to start digging the tonnel from the other (web) side. I do not paint for over a year, the webbing is a substitution. symph10 midi ... personal page. anatoly.org ...

Hamlet speaking?Enough about Life as Death! Time to speak about Death as Life!
Who is dead? Shakespeare, Hamlet or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern? All?Death is a part of life, Death is a process!
... continue!My death is no exception
Yes...Who should talk about it? Me! [ Stanislavsky? ]Who is responsible for my death? I am!
Enough talking, I want to show it!
Why to hide behind this fictional Prince? His questions are mine -- and I want to answer them. Final Judgment? It's my judgment. Yes, over myself....How private is death? Is it indeed an individual act? Why the ultimate free will became an act of a mortal sin? Where is the line between madness and wisdom of knowing what is yours? Would I prefer madness of Nietzsche or decision of Socrates? Dying in car accident, out of cancer? What are you preferences?
I will talk about my plans. My understand of it, my search for the aesthetic forms of it. Death must be as beautiful as life. Death should be the most beautiful moment of life. Death is the final personal statement, the last song, the best of my living. Death must be celebrated!
Should I call it "Hamlet Century 21"? "The Exit"? "The End"?...
... subtext?
Anatoly
When you are 52, healthy, normal, it's the time to have your priorities straight. On the 2002 thanksgiving was born my second grandson and this is a signal that my mortal cycle was a success. Everything single day is an extra, a gift -- and I am not about to wasted it; I have to make my death a priority of my life and living. I must take my own death seriously. Finally. Because it is death and because it's mine.I lived long enough and I wrote enough for me and you to judge should I live or die, why, when, how and etc. Why bother with Hamlet? He is just a model. Look, I am trying to arrange the deposition of this court in non-fiction manner. And the final stage of this process is on video, you can see it for yourself live.

I made the black frame for humorous purposes, of course. But is it me? A photo, I mean. Maybe I should use my own self-portrait...
But this is my impression of myself, how accurate it could be? In Intaly, in the refugee camp after my defection from the Soviet Union. I can't fully describe the totality of my Self. What about this...
Wait a minute! She is a woman! So? I must like this image for some good reasons; I identify with it...
You see, we already run into a few very serious problems. I am not to post my favorite painting, my own paintings, pictures of the sunset and etc.
We have to stop and think for a while...

So far, I plan only three subdirectories: sounds, images, texts -- use the material!
Go to the TEXT directory and arrange the composition the way you like. We went through the same process (Shakespeare and I are in public domain). In order to manipulate the text it has to be turned into Hyper-Text (linked text). The more pages (or files) you have, the more compositional possibilities you got.
For now see the HamletDreams UAF 2001 production pages.
* GODOT.06: Doing Beckett => main stage Theatre UAF Spring 2006 *
Do you see? This is me too, my productions, my actors, my message to the world...
Virtual directing? Cyber-director?
... in addition to the live show?
