A PEOPLE’S OPERA

THE LIFE AND DEATH ORCHESTRA, BRIGHTON PERFORM THIS WAY FOR THE GAS LADIES & GENTLEMEN ON LATEST TV TO COMMEMORATE 75 YEARS SINCE THE END OF THE HOLOCAUST

I

There are many books about the Holocaust and to those who say it's an ‘industry’, all I can say is: I do not agree. There are not enough. It is the most important thing you could ever write, paint, compose about.

The message to live and let live needs constant repetition. The album’s title, Songs For The Betrayed World outlines my own conclusion and the words are from a poem by Zbigniew Herbert with a translation by Czesław Miłosz in which he talks about offering 'the betrayed world a rose'. My aim was to do that in both the album and opera.

Can there be art about Auschwitz? Anne Frank, Lee Miller, Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi and films such as Life is Beautiful, Schindler's List, The Pianist make the case. However, while I was making the album I had correspondence with Elie Wiesel about using words from his great book, Night, as a song. We talked about whether music demeans suffering. Is the complete experience impossible to transfer?

In the end he did give permission to use his words on the album.

If you cannot create music to express suffering, however extreme, we would never have had any protest music, whether it be ‘Strange Fruit’by Billie Holliday, ‘Babi Yar’by Dmitri Shostakovich, ‘The Slave's Lament’by Robert Burns. I guess the question arises because of Theodor W. Adorno’s now-famous quote, ‘to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric’. Adorno is saying, how can you express the inexpressible? But for me and many others there is a greater imperative: the need to give voice to your feelings at the horror. If it is unspeakable, it is hidden from history.

Tadeusz Borowski whose slender volume This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen continues to occupy a place apart in Holocaust literature

n 2000, I made Songs for the Betrayed World with The Life and Death Orchestra. On that album is the song ‘This Way For The Gas’, which Angi Mariani and I adapted from the short story by Tadeusz Borowski. I was totally fascinated by Borowski and his friends in the underground Essentialist Club, based in Warsaw in the early 1940s, when ‘going clubbing’ was a capital offence. That sounds trite but is starkly true. The poets, musicians, writers and artists who attended risked their lives every time they went.

How could the cruelest acts be undertaken by seemingly the most civilised people, they played Schubert but killed composers like Pavel Haas. The twentieth century was not medieval, it was more evil, with more people killed by genocide than in any previous century, and the Holocaust was unique in the annals of a long collection of evil genocides. Where does this evil, come from. Is it still in us? If so, in which of us? And how can we rid humanity forever of genocide? Our opera asks this.

One of the great Holocaust chroniclers, the painter and writer Arnold Daghani, who was from a German-speaking Jewish family in Suceava, Romania, actually came to live in Brighton and Hove, and the story of how he painted his works in secret and subsequently - with the help and support of his wife Nanino - smuggled them out as they made their escape from a forced labour camp at Mikhailowka in the Ukraine, where everyone else was murdered, would make a great film in itself. Daghani's message is entirely conveyed in his depictions of the camp. As he wrote, I have preferred setting out the facts to interpreting them. I have provided plenty of nails. May others hammer them in.

I based two of the characters in the opera on Arnold and Nanino Daghani.

The world is ruled by neither justice nor morality; crime is not punished nor virtue rewarded, one is forgotten as quickly as the other.

The world is ruled by power Tadeusz Borowski

and he and his resistance member girlfriend and then wife Maria Rundo were the basis for the story in our opera. He describes in everyday fashion the truth about what it was like to work in and around the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Its power is its ordinariness. As a composer I tried to underline that ordinariness by giving the song version of his words an everyday ballad feel. The tune comes over and over again, to emphasise the repetitive nature of what happened there as ordinary and everyday. A few chilling chords, however, tell a different story. He outlines his seeming selfishness‌.

A long column of automobiles stationed itself at the end of the avenue and waited for street cars, like a tiger tracking antelope. We spilled out of the moving trolley bus like pears and tore diagonally across a field newly planted with vegetables. The earth smelled of Spring and in the city on the other side of the river as in a deep jungle people were being hunted.

I lie against the metal and dream of my bunk suddenly I see the camp as a haven of peace others may be dying but I've still strength and food for this living moment, for today.

It's this way for the gas.

However, we refute any guilt for anything that happened there. The truth is that people want to survive, that is absolutely natural, but it is the environment that determines how people act. Put prisoners into a monstrous world and by necessity, whether it be Borowski or you or me, we will act what can seem selfishly in cosy retrospect.

What is also amazing about Borowski and his colleagues at the Essentialist Club and the underground university in Poland is that they tried to carry on with their artistic lives as if the Nazis had not invaded LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7

You would never know from reading this poem that they were in an extermination camp. You could read it as escapism, but it is not, because the subject of this poem is true love and nothing else impinged on that feeling. There were love affairs in Auschwitz. It was the real world and everything was there – football fields, factories, a brothel, concert halls and gas chambers. It was an upside-down world, ruled by criminals and power-hungry madmen. These were the people you were supposed to look up to and admire. Borowski spells it all out and makes it everyday real so we can easily see ourselves there.

Warsaw. There were Nazi tanks and soldiers and police in the streets, there were posters saying, 'By order, no cabarets, no theatre, no schools, no universities, no dancing, no speaking Polish'. People were hunted as he recalls: Borowski believed that an artist's role was to tell the truth. Their club was called the Essentialist Club. He was a moody, melancholic, sometimes angry young man, a bohemian in any age, although he was always smartly be-suited. What do bohemians brilliantly do in any age? They scoff at everything, they write melancholy poems, they try to love a lot! and all the time they smoke. Borowski was the original existentialist.

Nowadays there are many bohemian clubs, many gay clubs. It used to be risky to go to them, and in some parts of the world it still is. That was the everyday life for Borowski and his fellow clubbers, the only difference being that if they were caught at their club, they risked certain execution.

Their attitude was, if we don't go we might as well be shot.

At the same time as Borowski was a street poet; some of his colleagues were street fighters in the Resistance. Eventually, his fiancée Maria Rundo, a member of the Resistance, was captured by the Nazis, and Borowski himself was arrested when he went looking for her: he with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World]in his pocket, she arrested with a book of Borowski's own poems. They were both sent to Auschwitz, and they were sent there, as the guard says in the film of the opera, because ‘it’s not what you've done, it’s what you are.’ Our opera tells their story.

Just after Auschwitz Borowski wrote one of the great love poems of all time, a song of longing for the girlfriend that he spent many hours with, on her bunk in Birkenau, after getting a job as a collector of infant corpses in the women’s prison. Here is an excerpt

The Sun of Auschwitz I remember your smile as elusive as a shade of the color of the wind, a leaf trembling on the edge of sun and shadow, fleeting yet always there. So you are for me today, in the seagreen sky, the greenery and the leaf-rustling wind. I feel you in every shadow, every movement, and you put the world around me like your arms. I feel the world as your body, you look into my eyes and call me with the whole world.

I hope our people’s opera does justice to one of the greatest poets of all time.

THE LANDLADY

2020 VISION… he new decade has not started well. Two friends of mine are in hospital with serious illnesses, having previously lived hospital-free lives. Meanwhile, I am also undergoing medical tests, which may or may not be serious. At times like these, I am grateful that I have very much squeezed all that I can from life thus far.

Thankfully, my family is being very supportive, with at least two offspring accompanying me to each appointment so far, taking up space in waiting-rooms and requiring a litany of extra chairs in consulting rooms. Clearly, they are thinking about the will (joke).

In the meantime, I am grounded in the UK for a while as I wait for the cogs in the marvellous NHS to whiz me to whatever operation awaits.

This is slightly annoying, as I was supposed to go to South Africa next

T

“At times like these I am grateful that I have very much squeezed all that I can from life so far”

mild prodding, I had to employ the steely power of my industrial drain rod, which hasn’t seen the light of day for at least 15 years. Fortunately, after a great deal of under-sink violence and choice words from me, the thing has finally gone. Such contortions and exertions cannot be good for my health, but it had to be done, as I have four hungry lodgers (and their boyfriends) to think of. Even if I don’t feel like it, I have to make sure that Landlady Towers is functioning like a well-oiled machine, as I have no sick pay to fall back on since leaving The Supermarket.

Yesterday, one of my lodgers told me that she is going to move in with her boyfriend next month. Although I am very happy for them (she was the ideal lodger), I am not looking forward to showing a selection of unknown weirdos round my house. I will be sure to recount the stories.

Roll on 2021, I say…

Monday and, as a sporadic viewer of Love Island, keep having Cape Town, with all it’s beautiful vistas and gorgeous weather, flaunted in my face. Bah!!

Meantime, the menagerie that is Landlady Towers is not without it’s plethora of issues and I have spent the past three days trying to remove a large lump of Christ only knows what from the waste pipe shared by the kitchen sink and the dishwasher. Yesterday, after a couple of hours of

vegan ventures I read through the menu a few times before finally deciding to try Bill’s beetroot steak. Now forgive me if I query the naming of a vegan dish a steak, I am sure that there are better words, or at least I was. The beetroot steak looks steak shaped and is to be honest more burger like in texture. It’s a combination or textured vegetable protein I think and beetroot and it’s very tasty. I liked it but felt that it sort of flaunts the principals of veganism. The potato and sweet potato chips were superb, really very good but I can live without the vegan bearnaise which didn’t quite hit the spot. On the whole though it was tasty and filling and if it makes vegans feel better then good for them.

My pudding was extraordinary. A frozen amaretto parfait served with shortbread crumb, coconut flakes & raspberry sauce delivered on every level, to make a creamy dessert without

S

o Veganuary, such an ugly non-word, but… well how did you do? I was always unlikely to embrace the whole idea, I’m not a vegan. Nor am I a meat head, far from it, but I do enjoy lots of food that does not include either meat or fish.

Anyway January was riddled with vegan food, from honest presentations to downright propaganda. Each to their own, I will continue to eat as I have, with care.

Bill’s restaurant offered a vegan menu that in truth included a slection of their regular meat and dairy free dishes so I took along Dr W, yes a real doctor, to give it a whirl. I have enjoyed Bill’s over the years, particularly when said Bill opened the first on in Lewes, a real jewel and more recently where after a few years of feeling not quite as good, it has regained its spirit.

“Cyan is a real step into the future for The Grand Brighton”

cream is wizardry and I foolishly woofed down the lot as the portion was huge, really huge.

Dr W chose sticky chocolate pudding with hazelnut crumb and coconut icecream. It was a cross between a chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pud, bitter sweet and gooey, a nice end to a very satisfying dinner and all for sensible prices, nothing scary.

It didn’t make me vegan but it did put a smile on my face.

100 North Road, Brighton, BN1 1YE 01273 692 894 bills-website.co.uk

Dr W is doing dry January, mine is damp but we started by giving their alcohol free cocktails a try and they are very good, grown up drinks but booze free.

The doc started with toasted focaccia, hummus and and olives, very good hummus and delicious tiny black olives. He was very happy. I chose the miso aubergine fritters. I love aubergine, probably too much and combining it with the slightly sweet and salty miso work perfectly. These were good, crisp outside and creamy inside and they came with a bowl of smokey sauce which was very nice but delivered in far too great a quantity, I liked it but not the idea of wasting it.

Dr W likes hearty food so the Mushroom and Tarragon Suet Pudding was right up his street and when it arrived he tucked in with gusto and despite the generous portion made light of it. He thoroughly enjoyed it and cleaned the plate, pudding, musrooms and the bean cassoulet pictured.

Born in London to Jamaican parents, Alex Wheatle’s first book, Brixton Rock (1999), told the story of a 16 year old boy of mixed race, in The exciting stage premiere of Alex Wheatle’s 1980s Brixton.

Alex said about the new stage adaptation of Crongton Knights: Fortunately there are great companies who are addressing this and “I am very proud that Pilot Theatre are adapting my novel, Crongton following their critically acclaimed adaptation of Malorie Blackman’s Knights, for the stage.

TAI CHI CHUAN KEVIN BRYANT TEACHER WORDS & PHOTOS: DIANA FRANGI

B

righton based Kevin Bryant, founder of the Brighton Tai Chi Club, became a devotee of Yang style Tai Chi in 1995 when he started training in Boston, USA. In 1998 he moved to the UK and continued studying in London. Kevin teaches Tai Chi Chuan following the approach and methods of the Yang family, the family that more than any other, was responsible for the spread of tai chi throughout China and eventually around the world. Although many teachers in the UK teach Yang style, very few are passing on their instruction directly from the source. Kevin’s practice and teaching are reinforced by annual trips to Hong Kong to train with the family and by his London teacher – the leading Yang family exponent in Europe.

Kevin’s classes are relaxed, laughter is encouraged as an important component of a positive learning environment. He teaches his own students according to their individual strengths, weaknesses and character. Kevin reckons the benefits of Tai Chi are broad and deep, covering body, mind and spirit. Medical research continues to uncover new benefits of practising Tai Chi: it lowers blood pressure, increases bone density, improves blood circulation and digestion, loosens and strengthens connective tissue, relieves joint pains and raises core strength - especially important for those with back pain. It increases mental clarity and creativity and heightens overall feeling of well being.

Kevin says: “I had a book on Tai Chi as a teenager and I was attracted to its mystique. I liked its internal and philosophical aspects. The idea that a slow moving and sometimes static practice could also function as an effective, if not deadly martial art, was very seductive. When I had a taste of the art twenty years later, from one of its leading masters in the US, it sealed it for me. My mind, body and spirit knew they were home!”

Classes are on Mondays, 11:00 am at Unity Studio,130 Lewes Rd, Brighton. And 4:30 pm at The Float Spa, 8 Third Avenue, Hove, and on

“Kevin’s classes are relaxed, laughter is encouraged as an important component of a positive learning environment” Fridays, 7:00 pm at Alive Fitness, 25 Castle St, Brighton. From March to November Kevin offers a free practice session on Adelaide Crescent Square at 9:30am - all are welcome.
