"I want to relate everything--recall the past
full of the melancholy of mistakes...
breaking the bending knees...lets recall it and compare it
With the present...what a joy:
liberated from the weight of the earth's gravitation we
Whimsically arrange our belongings as if a rich kingdom
were moving"
(Act ii, fifth scene)

I understood about as much as I would have if it wasn't translated.

My translation of the iconic avant garde opera and the first Russian performance piece.

Norgunk Yayıncılık tarafından gerçekleştirilen tasarım kitaplardan biri daha...
Rusça'dan çeviri bir opera eseri, kitabın tasarımı ile kendisi de bir sanat objesine dönüşmüş...

[Jules · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tot grote verontwaardiging van burger en kleinburger wordt de zon vermoord en weggedragen. Gevuld met onbegrijpelijke dialoog en met een aversie van samenhang eindigt het geheel met een vliegtuigongeluk en een zang in Zaum. Wonderlijk talig experiment die vooral de contemporaire lezer en waarnemer verbijsterd zal hebben.

Toch is het geheel niet altijd van dezelfde kwaliteit. Sommige passages van Kruchenykh komen minder hard aan en zijn wat saai. Het mooiste is het voorwoord van Chlebnikow en Kruchenykhs slotscene.

hiçbişi anlamadım ama kitabın tasarımı çok güzel

Very abstract, kind of gloomy play about imprisoning the sun and ushering in a twisted new world completely unlike the past, I think? I like the imagery involved there.

Darkness is levity; lightness is weight.
