Most of us will meet December somewhere between the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall (where the International Festival of Contemporary Music “Another Space” will begin any day now) and the Karo 11 October Cinema (where the long-awaited anniversary festival NET (New European Theater) will start with a film program).

A wonderful work of theatrical art is one that makes you want to touch the original source. Yesterday, to my shame and at the same time to my happiness, I saw the musical for the first time with my own eyes, sitting in a cozy hall and giving my positive energy to this performance.

I often encounter a situation - I pick up an important text to read, but in the process of reading I feel sleepy. And not because the text is uninteresting or boring. There is a more serious “dog buried” here. If we want to join an important spiritual text, a sabotage mechanism can work inside us, putting a “barricade” in our way. One of the types of barricades is the inclusion of a falling asleep mechanism, which does not allow us to access the content of the text.

The Klammklang label celebrates its fifth anniversary this month; new releases, a monthly broadcast on the radio.syg.ma platform and a series of events were announced.

Here He world Your created - cold, slush, steam. LENINGRAD COMMODITY. Beggar's goods. Iron rope rusty sprouts. Slippery bridges leading somewhere. Meat processing plant hungry whistles. (Lev Losev) 1 Sorry, it’s one thing when someone speaking on behalf of the Epoch proclaims that the Lord is dead and we are his murderers, and another thing when this ominous event occurs in your soul. There is no time for philosophical abstractions and all sorts of “Sunsets” here.

When we buy video games, we rarely think about what will happen to them when we die. We go to Steam, pour thousands of rubles into our account, and for some reason we think that what we bought is our property. But in fact, we have no right to either include the account in the inheritance or give it to someone as a gift, even temporarily. Users, even in the future, do not have tools that would allow them to somehow perform the corresponding operation.

I heard about this from Murakami, or rather, I didn’t even read his book, it was recommended to me by a friend. It was a book about running. Yes, yes. Running and Murakami, what could be... more unrelated. Contrary to popular belief, Murakami appears to us not as a stooped intellectual, but as an extraordinary and versatile personality. I myself wanted to mention running many times.

One day I discovered the world of English prose of the early twentieth century. Why did I discover it so late? Apparently because I was always hopelessly in love... In love with Anglo-American and French science fiction, Japanese poetry. I never thought that the East, namely Chinese and Japanese culture, which I was interested in, could give rise to new feelings in me until I read Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
