«Διάδρομος και σκάλα. Ποιήματα του Γιάννη Ρίτσου, διαβάζει ο ίδιος»

Κασετίνα πολυτελείας με απαγγελίες του Γιάννη Ρίτσου

Έκδοση cd+48σέλιδου ένθετου από το ΕΚΕΒΙ

Ένα σπάνιο ηχητικό ντοκουμέντο με τη φωνή του «ποιητή της Ρωμιοσύνης» κυκλοφορεί με επιμέλεια του Εθνικού Κέντρου Βιβλίου (ΕΚΕΒΙ), στο πλαίσιο των επετειακών εκδηλώσεων για τον εορτασμό των εκατό χρόνων από τη γέννηση Γιάννη Ρίτσου.

Πρόκειται για 31 ποιήματα από τη συλλογή Διάδρομος και σκάλα, τα οποία γράφτηκαν κατά την περίοδο του κατ’ οίκον περιορισμού του Γιάννη Ρίτσου στη Σάμο, το 1970, και αποτυπώνουν τόσο τη δημιουργική αγωνία του ποιητή όσο και την απογοήτευσή του από τις περιπέτειες του τόπου και της υγείας του. Όπως σημειώνει χαρακτηριστικά η Χρύσα Προκοπάκη, στο 48σέλιδο ένθετο που συνοδεύει το cd, «...ο ποιητής, μιλώντας σε τρίτο πρόσωπο ή σε δεύτερο (εις εαυτόν), εξομολογητικός, κάποτε (αυτο)σαρκαστικός γράφει εν θερμώ, συχνά τρία και τέσσερα ποιήματα την ίδια μέρα, λες και θέλει να προλάβει να αποθέσει στο χαρτί όλο το “ανώφελο”, αυτό το “ατεμάχιστο τίποτα”».

Αξίζει να σημειωθεί, ως ιστορικό της έκδοσης, ότι οι συγκεκριμένες ηχογραφήσεις (σε κασέτα) μεταφέρθηκαν κρυφά από τον Γάλλο φίλο του, σκηνοθέτη Αντουάν Βιτέζ που τον είχε επισκεφθεί στο νησί κατά τη διάρκεια της απομόνωσής του. Η κασέτα παραδόθηκε στην Χρύσα Προκοπάκη, η οποία με αφορμή το «Έτος Ρίτσου», παραχώρησε ευγενικά στο ΕΚΕΒΙ το προσωπικό αυτό υλικό για να αξιοποιηθεί με την παραγωγή και κυκλοφορία της παρούσας, καλαίσθητης κασετίνας.

* Η έκδοση διατίθεται σε βιβλιοπωλεία και δισκοπωλεία σ’ όλη την Ελλάδα στην τιμή των 10 ευρώ (διάθεση ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ).

Aliki Kayaloglou este cunoscută în Grecia şi în străinătate pentru dăruirea şi patosul său pentru muzică (pe care o înţelege drept un divertisment al sufletului), pentru modalitatea ei personală de a interpreta şi de a-şi exprima trăirea artistică dinaintea publicului, precum şi pentru relaţia sa specială cu verbul poetic.

A studiat arta interpretativă cu Marika Kalfopoulou, ca bursieră a Conservatorului din Atena, iar apoi cu Francisco Voutsinos şi cu Spyros Sakkas.

A colaborat cu doi dintre cei mai importanţi compozitori greci – mai întâi, cu Mikis Theodorakis, şi mai apoi cu Manos Hatzidakis – şi a înregistrat compoziţiile lor pe versuri de G. Seferis, O. Elytis, K. Kavafis, G. Ritsos, M. Anagnostakis, N. Gatsos, F.G. Lorca, Horatio Ferrer, Fernando Pessoa etc.

Din 1982, începe să concerteze atât în Grecia, cât şi în afara ţării (Mexic, Spania, Tunisia, Cipru, Italia, Franţa, Suedia, Turcia, Germania etc.), având parte de critici excepţionale.

În 1989, 1990 şi 1991 a realizat spectacolul Iubiri dificile, interpretând monologul lui Jean Cocteau Le Bel Indifférent, în regia lui V. Nikolaidis. A. Kayaloglou a abordat, de asemenea, repertoriul hispanic, interpretând compoziţii din secolul XIV şi până astăzi, precum şi tangouri de Astor Piazolla şi Carlos Gardel.

În 2002 înfiinţează casa de producţie ΣΥΝ ΑΘΗΝΑ ΚΑΙ ΧΕΙΡΑ ΚΙΝΕΙ, al cărei scop principal este înregistrarea de discuri şi organizarea de spectacole muzicale. Aici, a înregistrat trei albume: Cântece de Manos Hatzidakis din filme greceşti, cu Miltos Logiadis la pian, Povestiri de Alexandros Papadiamandis pe muzică de Alkis Baltas şi, recent, un CD cu muzică fado şi recitarea poemului Odă marină de Pessoa). În ultima vreme, participă la reprezentaţii de teatru stradal.

Pe 20 şi 21 iunie 2006 a realizat spectacolul „Aliki pe Drumul Minunilor” în Piaţa Constituţiei din Atena, în cadrul Serbării Muzicii Europene.

Înregistrarea concertului susţinut în octombrie 2008 la „Herodeion”, Atena, cu titlul Miturile unei Aliki, a fost pusă de curând în circulaţie, cuprinzând cântece smyrneice, sefarde etc., precum şi compoziţii semnate de A. Piazzolla, Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis.
