August Strindberg, Celestograph

In 1893, Swedish playwright August Strindberg thought he’d captured the stars on film. His failed photography experiments continued to evolve, chemically and beautifully, long after his death.

Of finding one's voice, of class divide, of journey towards revolution ? Young Royal analysis S3

I am back, much to my dismay even if the journey is also exhilarating. The limerence, the gut-wrenching obsession which were in check are ablaze with the S3 trailer !!! I am just so excited ! I am buzzing and I need to put it down in words etc.

My first Tumblr post, a few months ago (2 ?) was to talk about this insane amount of mental charge YR was taking rent-free in my head and my life and to ask about book references in YR. (Thanks for the answers even if in-between the countless rewatches of YR, I didn't take much time to read.)

So let's start anew with the S3 trailer. We all saw that in the library scene, just near Wilhelm's head, the cover of a book was subtly put, so to speak, in display even if it was in the background and even if the cover was blurred. Some undescripts yellow booklets are set aside so that we can see the cover of said book. So I tracked it down. Of course, it's a given. I am passionate about literature (though not versed at all in Scandinavian literature). It's the cover of Fröken Julie and Ett drömspel, by August Strindberg, a Swedish playwright. First Miss Julie (1888) paired with another play, A Dream play (1901). Both plays, with different means talk about (dixit wiki) class struggles, the journey to find one's voice, to navigate the tricky balance between the place assigned by society and by gender stereotypes, the struggle between obeying rules, following duty and be one's true self. Fröken Julie is about a forbidden love between an upper class woman who falls in love with a low-class servant. Both try to escape the boundaries, but the weight of the class-divided, patriarchal society is too heavy and the play hints at a final suicide as a way out. I don't think YR will end badly, Willmon will of course be endgame. But the struggles are real and painful.

Miss Julie's plot happens on Midsummer's eve. Stay tuned, I will make two other differents posts based on Midsummer, Young royals etc. What's your take on all this ?

Thank you @lisaambjorn-blog for giving us such a rich show, so many occasions to deepen our culture, to start a conversation on societal, political issues ! Young Royals Baby to quote Omar and of course, let's start a revolution !

有使你失明的毒藥，也有讓你睜開眼睛的毒藥。 There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes.

─ August Strindberg《The ghost sonata》現代戲劇創始人之一奧古斯特·斯特林堡（1849 —1912）是一位多產的瑞典作家、劇作家和他也是畫家。在其四十餘年的創作生涯中，創作了六十多部戲劇和三多部著作，其著作涵蓋小說、歷史、自傳、政治和文化賞析等。作為一個創作與以顛覆傳統為一貫作風的創作家，他透過自我摸索習得戲劇性描繪方法及其廣泛用途，他的作品表現自然主義與表現主義。

Quote

At first you see nothing but a chaos of colors; then it begins to look like something, it resembles — no, it does not look like anything. All of a sudden, a point detaches itself; like the nucleus of a cell, it grows, the colors are clustered around it, heaped; rays develop, shooting forth branches and twigs like ice crystals on the window panes… and the picture reveals itself to the viewer, who has assisted at the birth of the painting.
