after Roland Barthes

"The Mourning Diary" is an attempt at empathy. Seeking to answer the question to what extent we can experience the pain of others and whether we can feel something outside of ourselves at all, the team creates a situation of approaching the gestures of grief. This is an attempt to break the banality and sentiment of pain and see what stands behind it.

Roland Barthes (1915-1980) is a French thinker, a semiologist and philosopher. Among his most important books are "The Preparation of the Novel", "The Fashion System", "Mythologies", "Writing Degreee Zero" and others. "The Mourning Diary" is an unfinished manuscript.

The performance was realized with the kind assistance of the publishing house AGATA-A.

Participants: Martina Krasteva and Viktor Ganchev
Stage designer: Ketty Marinova
Musical arrangement: Lyubomir Minchev, Georgi Atanasov - Minstrell and Ketty Marinova
Directed by: Stefan Prochorov.

5 November | Monday | 19:00 | lecture by Ed Kemmick | en, bg translation | free entrance

Ed Kemmick worked as a reporter, editor, columnist and online newspaper publisher for almost forty years in Minnesota and Montana. He began his career as a bureau correspondent for the (Butte) Montana Standard, worked at the same paper as an editor, and then went back to his home state of Minnesota to work for five years as the editor of two newspapers, one a monthly publication and the other a twice-monthly. In 1989, he moved back to Montana to work for the Billings Gazette, the largest daily newspaper in the state, where he was an editor for seven years before going back to reporting in 1996. In addition to his work as a reporter, he was also the newspaper's general-news columnist as well as its first blogger. He left that newspaper late in 2013 to found Last Best News, an online newspaper. Though other people contributed content to the site, Kemmick did most of the reporting and photography for Last Best News, while also writing a weekly column, editing and laying out stories, selling advertising and keeping the books. Last Best News was the focus of several articles in the Columbia Journalism Review and it broke stories that were carried by newspapers across the United States. Kemmick ceased publication of Last Best News and retired on July 1, 2018.

Kemmick is the author of "The Big Sky, By and By", a collection of his newspaper work. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children and two grandchildren.
