The series of meetings will be inaugurated by Paweł Smoleński – reporter and journalist documenting events taking place in Israel, Iraq, Poland, and Ukraine. The guests of the festival also include: Michał Olszewski – in his books he shows the less-representative, but often very true and painful side of Poland; Ewa Winnicka – the author talks about Polish emigration, simultaneously painting a clear picture not only of Poles facing foreign reality, but also of UK citizens; Ziemowit Szczerek – with whom we will go on “a journey through the Polish heart of darkness, through national insecurities and fantasies, through centuries of history”; Lidia Ostałowska – the protagonist of her reportages is Poland B.; Małgorzata Szejnert – taking up the topic of small hopes and great disappointments, she entwines micro-scale history with History with a capital “H”; Angelika Kuźniak – the topics of her books are other people’s biographies, also reaching where standard short bios do not; Taras Prochaśko – the author “leads us through the pagan, political, cultural, national wilderness, called Ukraine”; Andrzej Niewiadomski – with whom we will go on a journey in the footsteps of Zygmunt Haupt, and we will draw the maps of consciousness, memory, and remembrance.

Admission to all festival events are free. Details and descriptions of all events can be found under the PROGRAM tab.

HONESTLY AND VOLUNTARILY HELPING WITH THE INVESTIGATION | TARAS PROCHAŚKO http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/honestly-and-voluntarily-helping-with-the-investigation-taras-prochasko/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/honestly-and-voluntarily-helping-with-the-investigation-taras-prochasko/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2015 22:07:08 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2384 It seems that Zygmunt Haupt did not write for those who found simple reading to be enough. I suppose that he wrote for those who, even while they read, think about how to write something of their own. And for those few who, willing to write themselves, read not to learn how it’s possible to write but to know: it isn’t worth doing it this way anymore. For it has already been done this way. And it is impossible to do it again, since this kind of repetition loses its sense before it has even been written.

And this prose, these – let us call them – jottings by Haupt, are to always remain but a dream of something of this sort being possible at all. A dream of sentences put one next to another being a kind of literature that doesn’t resemble literature anymore. Somewhere beyond limits that one only very seldom manages to cross, but – obviously – not using the same passage already used by Haupt, the same tunnel, the same airflow, the same rope bridge.

Art in general is the art of rejection –  as in a wooden sculpture, as in the single tattoo that needs to be chosen from among all the world’s symbols, signs, words, and images. This is how written literature became a dictatorship of what has been accepted for rejection. A tyranny of style, of the onset, culmination, and conclusion, of an extraction from time, from space, from a geometry of complex planes, from an unending succession. In this sense, literature has lost even more freedom than a symphonic score.

Haupt managed to escape this linearity. He truly can “dissolve over a tree in contemplation*.” This is the case when in order to produce a short piece of writing one needs to know (and he does) everything about what the world is made of. It’s like making bean soup with thirty beans. But these beans, for some unknown reason, according to some mysterious rule, are at this precise moment selected from among several thousand grains – varying in shape, size, colour, ripeness, firmness, origin – lying in front of you, scattered in a thin layer. And while you prepare that soup you know that yours is going to be made with unique beans. And you know that, regardless of today’s soup, right in front of you stretches a plane filled completely with unused beans. And you know that all the soups still hiding within the beans that haven’t been chosen today have an even bigger impact on today’s soup than the cooked ones.

And in addition to this, you know that you can do perfectly fine without the soup and the beans.

This is precisely what Haupt did.

I suppose that he understood one more thing – that there is too much literature anyway.

There is, however, not enough allusion.

I have so far written a little more than Zygmunt Haupt has. I’m not that old yet and I have a good chance of writing more, since writing has become something of a habit. But even I am able to feel that there is already too much of what I have written for an average reader to take in, to remember, to recognise what I have written as something which has been written by me. I do not believe that there are many people who could even approximately outline what they had read in my writings.

I therefore suppose that Haupt must have come to the same conclusion very early. That is why his best pieces are some of the titles. He knew that titles – like certain objects related to the past of people particularly dear to us – can be remembered best. And a time will come when titles will become the most important knowledge about past literature. And that is why it is worth including in them all these allusions, of which – contrary to texts – there are clearly so few. Maybe this is where all of those incredible titles of his, which evoke more emotions than an ordinary novel, come from: poker in Gorgany, paper ring, Basque devil, Jesuit garden, about Stefcia, about Chaim Immerglück, and the Scythian bracelets… This will do, I suppose?

PROSE AT THE ZYGMUNT HAUPT FESTIVAL http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/prose-at-the-zygmunt-haupt-festival/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/prose-at-the-zygmunt-haupt-festival/#comments Sun, 13 Sep 2015 15:27:00 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=3691 The program of the 1st Zygmunt Haupt Festival is rich in meetings that are not only dedicated to the patron of the festival and his work.

Events held at the Municipal Public Library and the Gorlice Centre of Culture will give literature lovers a chance to meet valued prose writers from Poland and abroad.

Among the guests we will find writers with notable literary output, well known among readers, as well as new authors. They all have one thing in common – they will come to Gorlice to share the best literature. We will hear about the recent books by Krzysztof Varga, Andrzej Stasiuk, and Justyna Bargielska. Together with Artur Daniel Liskowacki we will face the Polish-German Szczecin. The meeting on the recent books by Yuri Andrukhovych, on the other hand, will take us across the eastern border. Zofia Król’s questions about the books “Pająki pana Roberta” and “Uprawa roślin południowych metodą Miczurina” shall be answered by their authors – Robert Pucek and Weronika Murek. Darek Foks and Waldemar Bawołek will take a look at the social landscape of contemporary Poland, and Krzysztof Środa will take us on a phenomenological journey. The meeting with Wojciech Nowicki will be an opportunity to touch upon the topic of time and space travel, and the fear and longing that they evoke. The person to talk with Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało about her novel “Zaćmienie” will be Jarosław Klejnocki.

Admission to all festival events is free. Detailed plan and descriptions of the events can be found under the PROGRAM tab.

REVOLVING AROUND THE WORK OF ZYGMUNT HAUPT http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/revolving-around-the-work-of-zygmunt-haupt/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/revolving-around-the-work-of-zygmunt-haupt/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 11:22:58 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2369 The Zygmunt Haupt Festival gives an opportunity to move into the world of the best contemporary literature for ten days, but not only that.

It is also a chance to get familiar with the life and work of the festival’s patron – an outstanding, interesting artist of many talents and, at the same time, inequitably forgotten.

The audience will have an opportunity to admire sketches by Zygmunt Haupt, who studied architecture and urban planning. The exhibition “A lesser-known Haupt. Drawings 1933-1975” includes art pieces from the Paris period of the writer’s life, when he created his first literary works and sketches. There shall also be a screening of the film “Erratum to biography,” directed by Zbigniew Kowalewski. The film features prof. Aleksander Madyda, Krzysztof Rutkowski, Andrzej Stasiuk, and others, sharing their fascination with Haupt’s creative output.

In the program one can find three topical meetings attended by theoreticians of literature, historians, and researchers of Haupt’s work. The focus will be on the following topics: “Podolia – Lviv – Paris – USA,” “Mysticism – Mannerism – Modernism,” “Worldview.” Specialists who will partake in the meetings are: prof. Aleksander Madyda, Andrzej Niewiadomski, PhD, Paweł Panas, PhD, Zofia Król, PhD, Marek Dziedziak, Darek Foks, Michał Sowiński.

More information about the events can be found under the PROGRAM tab. Admission to all festival events is free.

FLAT BUG | ZOFIA KRÓL, PhD http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/flat-bug-zofia-krol-phd/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/flat-bug-zofia-krol-phd/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2015 00:07:22 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2366 “Flies mottled densely the chipped enamel on the tacky clock face*” – reading Haupt’s prose comes with the risk of regular spells of astonishment. What is so wrong with this piece of a sentence that one wants to read it over and over again, aloud, aligning the facial muscles for all the contortions?

The pleasure can be compared to that of speaking in a foreign, distant tongue. Sonic density? A phrasal string with no commas? A series of inter-dependent modifiers?** Regardless of where lies the essence of these excerpts’ bizarreness, the reader is initially not at all certain of this sentence’s literary quality (and that of many others like it). The editors of stories have pointed out, in fact, that Haupt tends to make very frequent syntactic errors. To illustrate, here is the other part of the sentence quoted above, where the “face” loses its genitive and reappears in the accusative: “the face with a naive, tawdry little painting of flowers.” It will become apparent, however, that these malfunctions rather drive than slow down the language machine. We continue: “The pots on the smoky fireplace at the grating twelve strikes are rushed away from by the young, healthy woman holding a whining baby in her arm. Looking up at the clock, she hoists the weights rusty and black.” The elevated, inversion-heavy style transforms a rustic kitchen into a place where linguistic rhythm does its work, where words are measured by the clock, mottled by the familiar flies.

All this after one or two sentences. If one were to go through the stories at more length, however, all of this linguistic commentary comes to nought. Haupt’s gibberish is first and foremost a gigantic, heroic effort of braving the world’s tangle. This can also be effectively traced in the story “Dzień targowy,” also written in the 40s; here, the words-things directly describe the things-things laid out in the stalls, and the effort of getting them closer to one another, getting them to adjoin in parallel, becomes the more apparent. Here, just like first and last names, and place names in a few other stories, the author obsessively lists the wares: calico, horse harness, hens tied by their feet, sieves and scythes, pork fat, lard and sausages, wooden pipes and tin cockerels. And again – one would very much like to chant these excerpts, shout them out, or at least read them out loud. But first and foremost, to learn them by heart to always have this promise of compatibility by your side. As if many people’s dream of a word-specific, an object that is lying here, right next to us, by the real one, and referring directly to it came true.

In the story about the four seasons, “Entropia,” the same one with the “mottling flies” and the “rushing woman,” one can jot down in their Polish language study notebook that the sentences’ awkwardness is not noticeable on the level of the subject-predicate relationship – there occurs, however, a very telling description of an early-spring sky. At this time of year, “the black wetland waters faithfully reflect the azure rush.” The ground and its waters enter contact with the sky and mimic it, repeat it – this can be considered a variation or metaphor of language being compatible with things. But something else is more relevant here. Early spring marks the only period when “the sky is closest to the ground,” it abandons its constant “splendid isolation,” while during other seasons of the year it remains painfully distant and out-of-reach.

I am arriving at the gist here: apart from the effort of bringing words closer to things, in Haupt’s work there also occurs (dependent, of course, on the previous one, or at least akin to it) the effort of bringing the world closer, bringing the landscape closer to perception, familiarising it. To defeat this sky’s misfortunate isolation from the ground, the horizon’s from the eye, the world’s from man, one has to see the landscape in its closeness, to crawl into this space and feel its presence on one’s own skin. Touch is the sense that allows for the most direct contact with the bedding of the surroundings. Nevertheless, the moments when one can touch, with bare skin, the waters of ponds or the “rawness” of trampled grass on a bank, are extremely rare. On a daily basis, it is only sight – always fixed on something distant, mind you – that ties the pedestrian, the passer-by, the passenger with what passes by. And the stage of putting it into words will occur later, although the reader, out of necessity, will only be able to witness this second, or rather first type of effort through those words.

Nearly all of the stories, whose amount reaches almost a hundred, feature the element of a hike, a trip, movement, or a more static piece of landscape that one can gaze at. This also constituted a constant element of the life of Haupt himself; he moved around a lot, walked in the mountains, used the inheritance from his father to buy a motorcycle, and his first pay in France to travel to the Alps, and immediately upon being employed by “Voice of America” he applied for a loan to buy a horse. Numerous and various descriptions of landscapes and methods of transportation make the stories a kind of a phenomenological atlas, a review of sights from diverse angles, reliant also on the position and capabilities of the observing entity.

The story “Poker w Gorganach” is characteristic in this regard; it depicts the protagonist lost in the mountains, and as he enters a humble shepherd’s cabin he observes the “slanted world.” The hillside is very steep, a cloud is rushing by behind it, from beneath which the tips of firs stick out. A fragment of the slope which is visible from inside the shed is the only view, the only available snapshot of the world. After a while, the eye withdraws into the cabin, observes a few meagre objects lying around, a smouldering fireplace. The effort of describing only that which fits within the shot, whether in the foreground or background, with special attention given to the angles of planes, the visible fragments of shapes instead of the whole, which we can only guess at – it’s an effort not solely literary; it’s an experiment of a phenomenologist who is trying to studiously see before he diligently writes down. The troubles with aptly attentive seeing and writing are on occasion equally serious, but are not always one and the same.

The airplane from which the protagonist observes a vast extent of land, “earth that is stretched and torn, like lizard skin,” also becomes an exceptional laboratory of seeing (“Henry Bush i jego samolot”). The protagonist notes the distorted proportions, from up there everything is different and “immenser.” Here, instead of the “cone” that encompasses our vision “from the height of our posture,” the broad line of the horizon opens up. A test of perception, a sample of movement that changes seeing, may be horseback riding (“Tarok”), a ship at sea, where movement seems not to exist at all, and the surface of the water remains “an undeniable plane, a locked fat line of the horizon” (“W drodze na morzu”), skis, a military march, or simply the frame of a train window. In the latter case, the leitmotif is once again rhythm: the clatter of wheels, the “abysmal monotony” of telegraph poles, the “dissonance” of ramps, “millions of mole-hills” (“’Kiedy będę dorosły’”). The rhythm of passing by has its perspective and order, which is dependent on distance – the telegraph poles “fly backwards quickly, and the white birch trunks by the rails slip by less hastily, while the black net of deep-wood hornbeams stands unwaveringly still” (“Krzemieniec”), like sea waves watched from afar. In “Rigor mortis,” all of these rhythms beyond the window are accompanied by a foreground – the reflection of a girl’s face.

The sensitivity for rhythms is connected to Haupt’s intuition for language itself, whereas the awareness of lines, slants, tilts, planes, and perspectives can easily be ascribed to his painterly imagination. In this sense, an attempt at bringing the horizon closer, making it available for the senses, carnally close, not only entails the primal need for a close look and a following description, but also constitutes the readying of a foundation for the paint, which will precisely delineate visible patches, contours of trees and meadows. Should one analyse the metaphors that serve here to describe the landscapes, it becomes apparent that a surprising flattening of perspective takes place unusually often; an embedding of the landscape’s depth onto a plane in a painterly gesture, and simultaneously in a constant effort of bringing it closer to the eyes. Mountains like “screens cut out from sheet metal,” the forest as a brush, a snow-covered field like a sheet of paper through which crows and ravens fly like iron shavings drawn by a magnet, peasants against the scenery like moving commas, the thatch of the forest reminiscent of “one’s own wrinkled and callous skin,” finally – the dome of the close sky like a “glass bell of blue glass.” The landscape flattens out in the rain and in the fog, in the right combination of colours, or simply thanks to metaphor, a point of view. It flattens and thus becomes more familiar, readily comprehensible and describable. Man, like the flat bug mentioned in the story about the plane, exists in a rather two-dimensional than three-dimensional world. Thrown into the depth, the world’s three-dimensionality, into the untamed wild, he feels painfully incongruous, in his own mind becomes the more “flat, tinny,” exactly “as if he dropped by the English club uninvited and dressed inappropriately” (“Poker w Gorganach”). He longs for depth and yet, every time he manages to crawl into it, he blunders hard.

Perhaps it is this depth of scenery translated into the language of the plane that causes maps to be something extraordinary. Haupt compares the contour of the American continent drawn in meteorological brochures to ham, and provides detailed explanations of the rules according to which the landscape and weather have been translated into isobars, weather front borders, and wind directions (“Cyklon”). The Gulf of Mexico is like a green eye, with “the lash of Florida” above and the “Yucatán lid” underneath, the map is like a painting. A researcher of Haupt’s work, who by no mere coincidence is a map researcher as well, Andrzej Niewiadomski, point out in his book “Mapa. Prolegomena” that the symbols on a map reflect the wealth of being, but simultaneously “the time devoted to a map is time lost if we believe it will douse our yearning; the contrary is true.” The flat little tin man is stuck in constant isolation from the surrounding tangle, used to celebrating the moments when the sky draws closer to the ground for a while, steadily chanting clusters of words in his bizarre language.

EXERCISES IN TOPOGRAPHY OR SZYMBARK OF THE TIMES OF ZYGMUNT HAUPT | MAREK DZIEDZIAK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/exercises-in-topography-or-szymbark-of-the-times-of-zygmunt-haupt-marek-dziedziak/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/exercises-in-topography-or-szymbark-of-the-times-of-zygmunt-haupt-marek-dziedziak/#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2015 23:40:33 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2350 The Zygmunt Haupt Festival in Gorlice is a perfect opportunity not only to discover the creative work of a writer and painter unknown to the broad public, but also to discover the places where he spent time and created. In his letter to Haupt, Jerzy Stempowski wrote the following about his book “Pierścień z papieru”:

As a painter with more of a static imagination, you evoke separate images without taking care to put them into continuous sequences. This magic was known to Petrarch. He described all the places he had been to as if in exercises in topography.*

Let us then try, as a part of these exercises, reach one of the towns close to us which can be found within the pages of the above-mentioned novel. The town that was considered charming not only by Zygmunt Haupt.

In Szymbark I lived in a tiny annex, the door off-kilter but the place itself very clean, with one or two little pieces of furniture, antiques, muslin curtains at the window, a candle in a candlestick made of blue enameled metal, spare matches for guests, the bed made so neatly that it emanated a sweet scent (lavender?), and the breakfast they sent me, swear to God! to bed and they had snobby English breakfasts there, soft-boiled eggs in mugs, jams, little bars of butter, biscuits, a bit of this, a bit of that. And in the evenings we would lie, we would actually lie in front of the living-room fireplace, beech blocks burning and crackling, and what also crackled (…) were the chestnuts, “marrons,” as we baked them over these blocks. (…) Stanisława, Mrs Stasia, would lie in her evening gown, and she was the one celebrating this baking of the chestnuts for us, whose mouths were watering.

This is how, in an exceptionally painterly manner, Haupt immortalised the image of the Bystrzyca manor in Szymbark in his “Pierścień z papieru.” Modest, wooden, but cosy, open, and warm. And very modern, with electricity, gas heating, and running water. The peasant neighbours would say in frank admiration:

And the manor has the click, there’s water running out of the wall, and they stoke with stink.

He went there several times in the thirties to visit his Lviv friends Stanisława and Karol Groblewski. He probably met the hosts during his studies at Lviv Polytechnic University. “Mrs Stasia” – Stanisława Groblewska was at the time a “star” of the Lviv Tennis Club. This well-educated woman, familiar with the Lviv intelligentsia and sports environment, could certainly be impressive. Not only due to her sports achievements: she was awarded the title of the Champion of Lviv several times, and twice she became the Champion of Poland, playing doubles with the outstanding Jadwiga Jędrzejowska. After her father’s death this strong and modern woman was forced to, as she wrote herself, change her light tennis outfit to a “stable jacket.” In the thirties, together with her husband, she was managing 50 hectares of rocky piedmont, specialising in the raising of mountain cattle. However, she did not quite forget about her passion for sport (in the manor gardens a tennis court found its place) nor about her Lviv, Cracow, and Warsaw friends, who gladly visited the hospitable Groblewski home. Zygmunt Haupt wasn’t astonished only by the manor’s ambiance. In a story told in “Pierścień z papieru” he also brought up the wonderful relations between the parents, especially between the mother and the adolescent son Janusz.

Still, not only the Groblewskis of Bystrzyca were trailblazers of farm tourism. Others also hosted numerous summer visitors. Guests were received with similar courtesy in the extensive manor of Maria and Kazimierz Groblewski in Łęgi, in the modest Kazimiera Słowikowska manor house and in the Sikorski villa in Rola. However, the most attended place was the estate in the central part of Szymbark, called “the Castle.” Visitors were probably attracted by the romantic ruin of a 16th century fortified manor house, but also by the good leisure conditions. The estate owner Zbigniew Lucjan Sękiewicz, in the years 1927-28, erected a palatial summer villa. Since 1934 the villa and the entire estate were managed by his cousin Maria Kuźniarska and her son Janusz. In the summer of 1933, writer Maria Dąbrowska vacationed there. However, the rainy weather was not suitable for walks, therefore she probably gave herself over to writing, continuing her novel “Noce i dnie”. The Kuźniarskis’ well-awaited summer included guests from Warsaw: the Drozdowskis and Świerczewskis, as well as Antonina and Tadeusz Grodyński. The latter one was a professor of higher economics at the Higher School of Commerce and at the University of Warsaw, and in the years 1927-39 he performed high-level duties at the ministry of treasury where he was a vice-minister, and for a few months he even personally managed this important department. The most common visitors at the larch manor and villa were Maria Kuźniarska’s brothers: the priest Kajetan Łańcucki – a parson at Lubatowa, and colonel Seweryn Łańcucki with his family.

The leisure conditions were excellent for numerous visitors from the capital, Silesia, Lviv, or Cracow. In the summer villa, apart from modest yet comfortable rooms, bathtubs were prepared for curative baths. It was difficult to get bored here. The attractions comprised walks and horseback riding, and sleigh parties in winter. The evenings would be spent in the gardens or at the villa terrace playing cards, listening to the pathephone or the radio. The visitors were also welcome to use a well-equipped library. The hosts also took care of good cuisine. Breakfast was served in the bedroom and dinner, tea, and supper at the larch manor. Meals were very diversified, rich in vegetables and fruit grown in the manor garden. Father Ludwik Wachowicz, who was the parson in Szymbark at the time, estimated in the parish Chronicle that during the summer some 250 people would come to the village, and they would “praise the beautiful surroundings, the wholesome air, good drinking water, and pleasant baths in the river”.

Pre-war Szymbark was visited not only by wealthy clients but also by pedestrian tourists and bivouack-lovers. Thanks to the activists of the Polish Tatra Society in Gorlice (Witold Tokarski, Kazimierz Zabierowski, Karol Kosiba, among others), after 1932 a tourist route was marked from Stróże through Szymbark up to the Magura Małastowska peak. At the river’s meander, beneath the ruins of the castle, boy scouts would set up their camps. The local post office was crowded in summer, and postcards with beautiful Szymbark sights, published in large numbers, were unceasingly popular. The increase in the tourist activity in Szymbark was connected to the growing interest in leisure in the previously misappreciated Beskid Mountains, from Nowy Sącz to Sanok. Krystyna Pieradzka wrote about this in her tourism coverage “Na szlakach Łemkowszczyzny”:

(…) the tourist activity is expanding to manors and manor houses, to major villages, to tourist, boy scouts, summer, military and work camps etc. (…). For this reason the summer and curative economy of the Carpathian area should be under the authorities’ special protection.

That is alsol what happened in Szymbark. In the summer of 1938, the village was visited by the Voievodeship Healthcare Commission from Cracow in order to officially recognise it as a health resort. There was a chance of granting a government subvention for the accommodation base expansion, especially in peasant houses, for electrical lighting, the development of bath resorts at the river Ropa and setting up a seasonal transport route with rail stations in Zagórzany and Stróże. The worsening of the international situation a few months later caused the state authorities to think about an accelerated process of raising military fortifications at the state borders rather than about building guesthouses.

In spite of this, July 1939 saw Szymbark yet again full of summer visitors who raved about the charming fortified manor and the unique lake at the forest landslide. They enjoyed baths in the river and walks in the forest, with curiosity they listened to the local legends and watched the diverse customs and religious ceremonies. Maria Cegielska, the daughter of Franciszek Rziha, owner of the oil mine adjacent to the Groblewski estate on the Bystrzyca, mentioned that:

On July 16th a kermess took place on occasion of the Holy Mother of Szkaplerz festivities. During my childhood it was for me the most important holiday attraction. I pillaged the stalls with the enthusiasm equal to that of the Szymbark country kids, admiring those little roosters made of sheet tin, the gingerbread hearts and the chickens-on-a-stick that flapped their wooden wings. (…) Everyone would attend the kermess: peasants, local landowners and summer visitors, the post office manager with his spouse, and the teachers, the boy scouts from camps set up at Ropa’s meander. The limes gave off an aroma around the old wooden 18th century church, the bees buzzing around their blossom.

The idyll of the carefree holiday at Szymbark ended six weeks later. The war, which broke out on September 1st 1939, changed everything. Stanisława Groblewska became a hero of the Gorlice resistance movement, the colonel Seweryn Łańcucki went to war, while Tadeusz Grodyński and Zygmunt Haupt emigrated and never came back to Poland. After the war, Szymbark’s dream of becoming a fashionable summer resort never came true. Today, as charming as ever, it still awaits summer visitors and tourists. Or perhaps a new Zygmunt Haupt?

THE WORLD OF WORDS – AN ESSAY ABOUT ONE ASPECT OF ZYGMUNT HAUPT’S WRITING | PAWEŁ PANAS, PhD http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/the-world-of-words-an-essay-about-one-aspect-of-zygmunt-haupts-writing-pawel-panas-phd/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/the-world-of-words-an-essay-about-one-aspect-of-zygmunt-haupts-writing-pawel-panas-phd/#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2015 17:54:35 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2337 1.

Let us once again begin with the writer’s letters. In his letter from the 9th of January Zygmunt Haupt confides in Józef Wittlin:

I will soon be facing an unpleasant kind of situation. Namely, some New Orleans committee approached me on the account of helping them as a translator, regarding the reception of the first grand transports of Polish IDPs, which is to enter their harbour. Should it come to this, I will attempt to restrict my role to translator only, for my opinions on the new, longed-for life which they are to begin here, those opinions would be paradoxical and unenthusiastic.*

Some time later, in a letter from June 13th the author of “Pożegnanie z ojczyzną” adds:

I am continuously on duty as committee member welcoming the ships with Polish IDPs, and then I visit them all around Louisiana, at their new places, and compassionately I listen to their sorrows and worries, and disappointments. In return I get to listen to Polish from the Sanok, Konin, and Kamionka Strumiłowa regions. I ask them, what about coming back to Poland. “We’re not going to be, they say, ruled by no Moskal.” Of course they don’t trust me, an intellectual, they remember very well how the intelligentsia duped them. But sometimes they really loosen up their starch, up to the point where they tell me their dreams (“I’ve dreamt of the Virgin Mary and a lot of people – there will probably be a funeral…”).

The arrival of ships with Polish emigrants (internally displaced persons) provokes the writer to once again take on the difficult topic of life in exile, a topic close to Haupt on an existential level, and which corresponds with his intellectual and artistic points of interest. The obvious lack of enthusiasm (born, after all, straight from his own emigration experience) is accompanied by a realistic, clearly distanced attitude. The reluctance he shows does not, however, stem from egoism. On the contrary, it is motivated by compassion and – what is, perhaps, most important – the awareness of being part of common history, having a role in one play. The deeper the awareness, the more severe the pain. This pain was, without doubt, felt by the writer’s correspondent, it was also an inseparable element of Haupt’s self-awareness.

I would not, however, like to bring the cited fragment of correspondence down to the level of the anecdote it holds, which is, of course, a rather frequent temptation when analysing epistolography. For one can see something more in this small fragment, something equally thought-provoking and important. The quoted verses, when looked upon closely, reveal a palette of tones, out of which the tone of longing seems to be most important. On the surface it seems very obvious and, so to speak, typical. Here we have an exile who lives in a new world, far from what is familiar and close, longs for any element, even the smallest one, which could, even if for just a moment, bring back the lost heritage. It may be a coincidental or planned meeting with another Pole (every such event was very meticulously noted by Haupt in his letters). It may also be a book he read (the writer tried to actively keep abreast of the creative output from Poland). It may even be a word overheard somewhere. A special word, recognisable in the diversity of its variations (Polish from Sanok and Konin), inseparably connected with the specifics of familiar sounds the pleasantly tease the ear (Kamionka Strumiłowa).

Haupt writes about the importance of conversations and about the sounds that go with them in a letter to Wittlin from December 10th 1947:

It has been a few months now since we met in New York, and I value the memory of that meeting greatly. I found it very pleasant and home-like to wander around Manhattan with you, and when walking and talking about Polish matters one could forget that they are walking the 58th, when talking as if it was, for example, Chorążczyzny Street.

This choice is no coincidence. The emblematic words of the writer, in which he juxtaposes a huge western metropolis with his lost Lviv, do hide a particular metaphor for the fate of an exile. The impersonal new world is contrasted with the uniqueness of the homeland, the namelessness (symbolised by an abstract number) – with a name that is difficult to pronounce and impossible to forget. Chorążczyzny – a Proustian proper name. A birthmark. An open wound.

2.

The trauma of language accompanies the most intimate moments from Haupt’s emigratory life. It is clearly visible when the writer observes the progress his son makes in learning to speak Polish, which he mentions to Wittlin in his letter from March 6th 1948:

You are an old emigrant, but can you believe that, until recently, I had constantly been living on a Polish island, stuck in the Polish army in England, and all of a sudden I am on my own. Sir, I have a small son, he is two years and four months old now, and he is beginning to talk. And it looks like this: I count, I say “trzy,” “cztery,”** and my son repeats after me “tsy,” “stery,” we go to the zoo, I say “słoń,” he repeats “fłoń,” I show him a piggy bank “świnia,” he says “finia.” I am incredibly, unspeakably moved. But I am moved in a way that is abnormal, it is an untrue situation, an unbelievable situation. My unnecessary excitement does harm to me, and may do harm to my son. I am, naturally, overreacting, these days I am not the only one who is bound to be lonely and unhealthily moved.

This manner of writing can be found in other pieces, but what we are interested in is not limited to the level of existential experience. There is also the matter of creative work, although it is of course difficult to separate these two spheres.

Creative work in exile does (especially when it comes to the matter of language) of course imply objective, transcultural difficulties in communication, and immediately on two equally important grounds, as the issues of translation do, apart from their most practical aspect, have a deeper, meta-creative character – both have on numerous occasions been pointed out by the author of “Baskijski diabeł.” For Haupt, who was a maximalist, the fundamental part of a writer’s agenda was to aim at universalism, a goal not easily achieved when taking into consideration the character of his prose. All dissonance came from problems purely translatory, also thematic, but first and foremost from those of thought. Because Haupt thought and wrote in his native tongue. And even if it sounds banal, this triviality is overcome by the truth of the writer’s own difficult experience.

I have this incredible feeling as if I was a man from an anecdote, who leaves home one day to buy cigarettes in the corner shop and finds himself twenty years later across the world, living in prosperity and surprised by the world of circumstances. I left the country where everything was arranged into a very reliable pattern, everything converging just the way it should. One may live and not live this way, you dribble in a stream of emotion and impression through the automatism of small equalising differences that direct you into one groove or another, and life will flow and carry you through the forks and erosion of the pattern in the surface of the land wrinkled with concern. Whether I want it or not, I dribble into another pattern, but my sense of gravity has been shaped by the past.

– the writer noted in his draft “Zapiski autobiograficzne,” and it indeed is difficult to stay indifferent to these words. They echo in one’s head long after having been read, they echo with a familiar sound.

3.

So when I lay among the grass
and it matters not that the hemlocks, the thistles, that the silver wormwood, the buttercups like flames, the thymes, the bindweed
and the bindweed spins,
the wild oat is, like a vagabond, cheerful and blustering,
the wild poppy and sundew,
and by the water,
where the wet kingcups, remarkably yellow and fat kingcups
(please note that I am using this entire nomenclature, but so irresponsibly)
when I lay and listen to the roar of a bumblebee with a plush striped abdomen,
to the bee flying,
when I observe at the back side of a leaf
the aphids patiently sticking to their green,
I am as if in another country.

(Playing “green”)

Typical Haupt: Polish to the core, and at the same time universal in his own way. Entirely enrooted in the nature and culture of the motherland. You feel it straight away. For how do you explain to foreigners the nature of the hemlock. A regular botanic description does not suffice, here it is equally important to know the work of Sienkiewicz, or maybe even to read “The Street of Crocodiles.” What to do about the wormwood, the buttercups, the creeping bindweed, the bizarre sundew? How do you translate into another language the melody of words, the “sensuality of words.” I would like to draw your attention to the unintended alliteration.*** It is no coincidence, for Haupt’s subject absorbs the world with all his senses, also hearing. And then replays, or maybe recreates it, using the thaumaturgy of words.

The world can be listened to – this is an important and universal lesson that comes from the patient reading of the writer’s work (only such reading – leisurely – makes sense in this case). In this listening we become like children who discover the world around them anew. Haupt wrote about this in “Fragmenty,” which are filled with sounds and bindweeds:

I learn among this, whether I want to or not, I absorb all that is around me with every pore of my skin, just as you breathe with your skin, or as the tapeworm in the intestine absorbs with the entire surface of its body, its wormy body. This comes to me and it transforms within me, and here is where the processing of the world into my own world begins.

And further:

And then, all around, voices and voices and sayings, a garden of words, little paths cut out in this garden, you take a branch with words like that and pull it, like a jasmine branch, and you feel a shiver when it releases a shower of dewdrops. “That garden” was the second garden next to Szor’s storehouse with planks, the storehouse smelled like sawdust and Jewish rubbish. “It’s going smooth as silk”**** – mom would say, and I would wonder how can it be that something is going easily, smoothly as silk. “Tadeuszowa”***** – this word defined the whole world of the caretaker’s wife, her children, her husband, a drunk and, frankly, a thief, and the shabby apartment of poor people. “Roszlakowscy,” on the other hand, is a word encompassing the entire middle-class family, the entire middle-class community, the entire universe revolving around the same, prearranged middle-class affairs (…).

This is all very modernistic and simultaneously so very unlike anything we have known before. It seems to be the special power of the writer, who like none other had the ability to bring together all the contradictions in a way known only to himself, to fit them within one capacious and, at the same time, most coherent form. The craft he employed when using writing to utter (sic!) words can amaze. The more amazing is the power of evocation, which serves as a matrix to Haupt’s narratives. No longer the telling of a story (in the classic sense), but the recreating and creating seem to be the main goal of the writer’s efforts. What is important and should not be forgotten, and this applies equally to all layers of text, including that of its sound: just like you listen to the world, you listen to the writer’s story about the world.

4.

According to Haupt, a work of art is a microcosm of sorts, abundant and fragrant, perceivable with all the senses. He who listens will certainly hear. He who reads (best aloud) knows that I am right.

*The original correspondence between Haupt and Wittlin is held in the special collections of the Harvard College Library.
**Polish words: “three,” “four”, and then “elephant,” “pig,” which are imperfectly repeated by the child (translator’s note).
***The author refers to the phrase “zmysłowość słów” (“sensuality of words”), the alliteration is not present in the English translation of the phrase (translator’s note).
****The literal translation of this Polish idiom is “It’s going as if from a petal” (translator’s note).

HAUPT. UNCEASING FESTIVAL OF THE WORLD | ANDRZEJ NIEWIADOMSKI, PhD http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/haupt-unceasing-festival-of-the-world-andrzej-niewiadomski-phd/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/haupt-unceasing-festival-of-the-world-andrzej-niewiadomski-phd/#comments Mon, 14 Sep 2015 21:13:14 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2317 The Haupt Festival in Gorlice. Alright, I thought, it has begun… No, maybe it’s not alright. Or actually… After all, today does seem to be an inevitable stage in the process of familiarising oneself with and exploring the works by the author of “Rain.”

About the same time that I found out about the planned event and received an invitation to participate in it, the Department Board at one of the universities assigned me to review yet another doctoral thesis on this prose. In the bibliography of the received dissertation I have also found more texts from the field of hauptology, ones unknown to me (for they are very recent). The dream of the few (not for long!) admirers of Haupt’s work is coming true – and always in such situations, when dreams start becoming reality, an inevitable thought comes to our minds about a possible spiteful or grotesque form of this fulfilment. Anything can go too far, and the fate of the reception of many “forgotten” authors confirms the belief that on both sides, one of admiration and one of cognitive passion, there stand: blind love, one that is  jealous and possessive, against ignorance accompanied by cynicism and opportunism. This is where catastrophe ensues.

How can one ignore the thought of it when talking about an author driven out from his two family homes by both great wars? He did not, however, turn his back on this modern world that brings failure as well as hope. He was interested, as it seems, both in what is gone, and in what is yet to come, though the first reading of his stories gives a different impression, disturbs the proportion, and seemingly only takes us back to what is past. Entangled in our own memories, we easily forget what the fascination with new works of human hands and minds meant to the protagonist (protagonists) of this prose. So let us not get overly concerned – after several monographs, several dozen articles, reviews, essays, it is time to begin the next level of reception. I suspect that the writer himself would be curious (just as, despite the nostalgia he often developed in himself, he was curious of the Other, the foreign countries and people) what reaches us from behind or from in between the lines of his works, this prose chiseled elaborately for years. The modesty apparent in his letters, or maybe something more like surprise or a lack of faith in his own abilities and talent, is also a matter of a certain convention. But could a writer so honest with his own work, so careful in all his nonchalance, and so uncompromising in his antidogmatism, have no care for the result of his actions?

I imagine Haupt, had he the chance, writing a story based upon the Haupt Festival. He himself could get interested in opinions, theses, but his protagonist… rather in the characters, in the body and spirit of poets, prose writers, researchers, in the customs, the context of nature and culture. I have no doubt that he could turn this event into a prose masterpiece that pretends not to be one. Only the entourage of characters would be different, but we would become, together or separately, the subject of creation built on simple perception, as in “The Wake and the Repast,” as in “Biały Mazur,” as in “To ja sam jestem Emma Bovary,” a modern lieutenant Boczyła here, a Benedyk there, or some lazy but vigilant and unsettled Emma, smoking, let’s say, Marlboros instead of Hels.

Let’s leave the imaginary for a moment though. Even if this real festival, which symbolically opens a new time of Haupt’s presence in the consciousness of readers-amateurs-lovers and readers-researchers,  should be a pretext to some storytelling about Haupt, out of touch with the work itself, we still wouldn’t be far from the spirit of this work: after all, we know that “failedness” is its fixed component – and out of all that’s misguided, uncomfortable, incongruent, and unsuitable, Haupt built episodes creating the image of this wonderful “nonessentiality” (in the categories of commonly accepted hierarchy) and, having always had problems with people, he chose those fragments of their existence which were “unimportant” or so deeply submerged in the intimacy of the experience that nothing can be said for certain about them. So if we are in danger of “failedness,” we can compensate for this state by entering the matter of Haupt’s prose, experiencing it “from the inside,” evaluating the possibility of autoidentification, not forcing anything, tasting the bits that truly amaze us.

I could probably continue this a bit longer, multiplying good and failed arguments, but it won’t change the fact that despite my doubts upon having received the message about the festival, I am now almost certain that no festival can harm Haupt; it might even help his work. No, what am I saying; it can help us better understand the paradoxes connected with getting familiar with his work. I do not dare compare myself to the author of “Szpica,” but he did constantly have doubts – he rationalised them and continued to nurture them. It is thus no surprise that, having read a lot of Haupt, I was amused for a while with the concept of a “Haupt Festival in Gorlice.” Why in this place, and not any other? Because one should know that a Haupt session had already been planned in Zhovkva, the very centre of the writer’s “nonentitous” space: in the castle and in the shadow of the collegiate, one step away from the park by the Svynya River, where one of the stories’ protagonists failedly engaded in relations with Stefcia. And there was supposed to be a board on the wall of the family house, there was to be a symbolic comeback, the enthronement of Haupt on a throne set over Zhovkva’s empty grave. And, as it often happens, something didn’t pan out, didn’t work out, and this entire – I swear, I’m saying this without irony – beautiful plan came to nought, some money problems, then some war at the gates, that Rome of Żółkiewski’s, that Crimea of Putin’s, so – regardless of the good intentions of the initiators – again it’s very Haupt-like that this fact only existed in the sphere of myth, as unfulfilment, the perfect possibility, something which could be beautiful, because the cenotaph-city could, without skewing the facts (even though the facts are asking for it), honour its past citizen – and what place is better to talk about Haupt, look for the key to his work, than where his protagonist found its tender instrument – the lute?

Let this solely intended fact, however, find its way to the sphere of perfect concepts and – as it happens in Haupt’s stories – be confronted with what is not as smooth and polished, what is inconspicuous and seemingly random, insignificant in his biography. Just like Chełm/Chłąd or Bystrytsia in Gorgany, just like Gorlice, Szymbark, and Łosie. I wrote “seemingly,” because “Gorlickie” lies, after all, in the path which Haupt followed in the times of both war and peace, north of the Carpathian Mountains and along them, wandering away from and back to the mountains, and came close to death, failure, happiness, to memory, loneliness, and the contemplation of life, from Zakopane to Rachowo, and somewhere there, not necessarily in the middle, setting foot in Gorlice, Szymbark, and Łosie.

The story where the reality of this place can be found was the first one to be carved into my memory while reading Haupt’s prose published in samizdat. Or was it not so? Maybe this memory has been consolidated and “manipulated” by the fact that when in 1991 we reminded the figure of the then barely known author in “Kresy,” we re-published a variant of this story as one of the “illustrations” of his work? Either way, I followed in the footsteps of the author of “Balon,” but little stayed in my head of my visits in Gorlice, one stay in Szymbark and in Łosie, while – as if out of spite – I am haunted by the memories of my stay in Krempna which I took the long way back to from those places. And this is much further, this is the place where I then sat with my son on the terrace of a GS-bar and we ate pork chops and drank the horrible at the time Szczyrzyc beer, I think it was horrible because the brewery was going into its decline and before I knew it there was no sign left of its products’ existence. And I felt, when watching the locals, a bit like Haupt’s protagonist who entered Harry’s bar in Louisiana, and the summer both in Gorlickie and in Krempna was hot then (back then, those places were as exotic to me as Louisiana) and we also watched closely, “who here and who there,”* only the Szczyrzyc beer wasn’t “dead of ice” at all, and my teeth didn’t “stiffen,” they only got numb from the swill. And I could repeat today, only changing the place names (because I did return to Krempna): “I’ve only been to this Szymbark-Bystrzyca twice or thrice – so many years ago that I can’t even tell how many times it was. A very isolated memory of this, for it is far from my home, very cut off, a memory as separate as a piece of amateur photography glued into an album. A few amateur days of living separately. And you remember so much nothing from that.”

Of course, I do not intend to convince anyone that I, knowingly or unknowingly, became the writer, what I know is that experiencing this unremembered nothing is something which not only enables one to understand Haupt better, but also, together with him, beautifully not understand the world.

And now again, Gorlice – by chance and completely not so – maybe because of its location (not Zhovkva, not Lviv, but also not Warsaw nor Cracow) that is entirely safe, at least safe enough to be able to talk about Haupt in peace. About what has been done about the writer’s works and about what else should be (and we would like to have) done. On this occasion it would also be good to check what is it with this Szymbark-Bystrzyca and if, by any chance, Haupt’s memory didn’t overlap the topography of the Lower Beskids and Gorgany with the Bystrzyca River, and maybe even with the Chechva River (I might have gone too far here, since Haupt can always be suspected of such things, and Bystrzyca, the remnants of an estate, are, after all, part of the Szymbark area; moreover, maybe it was no coincidence that in “Pierścień z papieru” the “Gorlice” story was placed right after “Poker w Gorganach”). And maybe we should look among the numerous mountain cemeteries of the first great war for a gravestone saying: “Meine liebe Mutter, sei stolz, Ich trage die Fahne” (who knows if Haupt’s clue concerning a cemetery on the chaise road from Szymbark to Gorlice shan’t misguide us after all)? But these are trifles…

I look into this short, several-pages-long piece of prose and – surprisingly without surprise – I discover that we could talk and talk about its nuances. Not during one festival, conference, session, meeting. For example about its language, which could be discussed in another discourse, and about the language observations of Haupt (by the way, he wrote almost the same about Szymbark and the purity of the Polish language there as he did about Chełm/Chłąd, identifying this activity as a natural reaction to what is “foreign,” born in the spheres of cultural borderland). And maybe we could also say something about the surprising influence of this language on the prose of a few very modern writers?

How many riddles do Haupt’s autocommentaries hide, the whole metaliterary layer of stories, including the seemingly unimportant interjections, like the one about the Szymbark manor – that there are “logs” and not “blocks of wood” burning in the fireplace because blocks, blocks are “always very theatrical” – so it merits another look at the procedure of composing the surroundings and one’s own contemplation in the search of, well, what: the truth of reality or the truth of art?

Or by quoting the first sentence from the story from 1951, which we are interested in (“There once were three sisters: Stanisława, Maria, and Lala”), ask how it is (and is it at all) related to the beginning of Haupt’s 1969 series about Nietota (“ I could start it the old-fashioned way, for example like this”) or to the second sentence of Kuśniewicz’s 1971 novel (“There once were two sisters – Elżbieta and Bernadetta, and their brother, Emil”). And going further and thinking about the next parts of the text, ask about this particular liking for the name Maria, and then inquire about why the Szymbark manor bulldog is called Trefl** and if this fact, by analogy, has anything to do with the mystical meanings of the name of As*** the dog or with the card markings on the military tachanka? Or maybe the story of the initially absent fourth sister Elżbieta-Bieta is, say, compensatory in character? It is, after all, one of the few love stories that conclude with a happy ending of sorts, which is also understated (the story with the forester, as in Haupt’s Zabory prose), and maybe it is in some not entirely clear relation with the narratives about Panna and Nietota. But here we are entering an entire system of intricate connections and affinities, and it is indeed worth noticing thaf for Haupt – since we are talking exclusively about the Gorlice story as, say, the alleged starting point for the reading of the whole – the very division into what is peripheral or provincial, and what is focal, pivotal, and “sophisticated” is problematic. Because whan he writes about Łosie, he sees its people as whalers from New Bedford and Nantucket, and he juxtaposes the inscription on the grave with the “Made in USA” seal. Besides, this grave belongs to someone with “von und zu” in their name, maybe someone from regions that are far from Galicia, from which the writer’s progenitors came – regions foreign and distant, especially if we consider how grown into the Polish language Haupt was.

We cannot be sure how the writer’s imagination worked, but we do know that the young officer cadet’s grave stood in the shade of viburnum, just like the grave of the Scythian princess. Haupt – locating his protagonist in different places – obsessively replicated both literary-cultural contexts and the scenery of amorous or fatal catastrophes. For this reason the reading of his prose can start from “Gorlicki” or any other space, because hierarchy is hierarchy but the perception stays the same. By choosing one thing we choose it all, also that which in “Meine liebe Mutter…” appears as: “Something that is in itself, something without history, without future, what was and will be no more.” How come – we ask – something was but has no history? Is this possible? For Haupt – yes. Because a bit further he writes: “I thought this stone has forever and irrevocably encased my own youth, it once and today became separate and incomprehensible to myself.” For Haupt doesn’t tell us about his youth, he rather lays it before us. Let us not look for history and its laws here; something that is “in itself” must to a certain extent remain incomprehensible and alien. The writer guides us through the sphere in-between: from plainness to artistry, from the banality of biography to the highs and lows of literary creation. He doesn’t tell us how we are to understand this “thing,” but he ushers us into the zone of a story about incomprehension.

“You can forget everything, just keep one detail, a sample to test, a catalogue code, a countermark that can be shown in the countermarkroom to collect all the luggage, a stockpile left in oblivion.” “Meine liebe Mutter…” is then enough to dive into this great stockpile in which we cling on to the important (and we decide upon that in a capricious and arbitrary manner) props. Haupt doesn’t so much dazzle us with his world (it cannot be entirely “his,” because it became “alien”) as he invites us to travel through the ever common space of memory-oblivion and shows us the structure of our emotions, which are impulses equally of the world of things, language, and feelings.

The space of his prose is infinite, although – it may seem – geographically restricted. You can start from “Gorlicki,” you can organise a festival of oblivion which calls itself “rememberance,” a festival of misunderstanding, if you want to at least to some extent understand the author for whom the selflessness of art was most important. And only that kind of art and that kind of work tells us anything about the world, about existence and essence, because like the issues from all those spheres, it is intricate, lacking simple punchlines, and full of understatements. Should the Haupt Festival in Gorlice become the celebration of dubiousness – it will serve its purpose.

The oldest traces of librarianship in the region of Gorlice date from 1870. At the Society of Friends of Education in Gorlice existed a reading room which had 1500 works. One of the more important libraries acting before the first World War was the Library of the Military Society (Biblioteka Towarzystwa Kasynowego). In the year 1925 the Library of the Union of Craftsmen and Dealers was founded. It was active during the occupation and after the liberation it functioned until 1947. In the period between the wars yet other libraries existed, e.g. the Library of Jewish Women and the Lending Establishment of Julia Kankoferowna. The Library in Gorlice was registred in 1948. Stanisław Gabryel, MSc was appointed the Director of the District Library. The first period of activity of the library (1945-48) was devoted to the improvement of the accessibility of the library collections to the public. Large contributions were made by the first librariens: Wilhelmina Stachnik, Maria Muszyńska, MSc, Stanisław Gabryel, MSc and Maria Wojtasiewicz. In 1975, as a result of administrative reform, the institute in Gorlice was renamed the Municipal Public Library. In 1999 the library in Gorlice has been the first in Region of Małopolska to function as a District Library.

SZYMBARK – THE GROBLEWSKI MANOR, IGIPZ PAN http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/szymbark-the-groblewski-manor-igipz-pan/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/szymbark-the-groblewski-manor-igipz-pan/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 22:57:12 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2256 A picturesque town with a mild climate, situated on the Ropa river, near the road connecting Nowy Sącz and Krosno, 6 kilometres from Gorlice, surrounded by the hills of the Lower Beskids.

THE GROBLEWSKI MANOR, IGIPZ PAN (Research Station of the Institute of Geography and Spatial Organisation of the Polish Academy of Sciences) – The IGiPZ PAN Research Station in Szymbark was established in 1965. In terms of research it constitutes a part of the IGiPZ PAN Department of Geoenvironmental Research in Cracow, and the main initiator of its foundation and research program was professor Leszek Starkel. After a thorough renovation, the Station became a research, didactics, conference, and leisure centre. The Station’s science program covers a wide range of research concerning current processes that model the natural environment of the Outer Carpathians. The Station’s research is conducted in cooperation with other research units, such as: the Institute of Geography of the Jagiellonian University, the Institute of Botany of the Jagiellonian University, the Agricultural University of Cracow, the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Department of Mountain Grounds Management, the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Hydraulic Engineering in Gdańsk, the National Geology Institute, department in Cracow. The station is also in international cooperation with CNR Italy (Turin, Padua).

Szymbark is a town of rich history. From the middle of the 14th century Szymbark served as the defensive residence of house Gładysz, Gryf coat of arms, around which a burgh developed, and later on a city. In the 16th century a fortified manor was erected in Szymbark and has remained until modern times. During the first world war Szymbark was at the foreground of the battlefront, which is evidenced by military cemeteries that still exist today.

Szymbark © fot. Jacek KosibaSzymbark’s most valuable monument is the castle situated on the bank of the Ropa river – the house Gładysz fortified manor: a Renaissance-style building that was originally constructed as late-Gothic. The castle served a representative, residential, and defensive purpose. Original elements of décor have survived to this day.

The landmark, along with the buildings that surround it, constitutes the currently restored branch of the Karwacjan and Gładysz Manors Museum. The branch is a jewel of Polish Renaissance architecture and serves as a modern conference and exhibition centre. It is the birthplace of the International Forum of Central-Eastern European Culture, which promotes Lesser Poland and the culture of other countries: Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Germany, Russia, and the Baltic States. It goal is also to present the multicultural traditions of Gorlice and the surrounding lands, which had been inhabited by Polish, Jewish, and Lemko communities until the end of the Second World War.

Szymbark © fot. Jacek KosibaThe area adjacent to the castle holds an open-air museum of folk architecture, where structures from the Gorlice region are exhibited. The interiors are fitted with original equipment from the late 19th century, early 20th century, and the interwar period. Displays of traditional crafts and rural activities are organised here.

Szymbark © fot. Jacek KosibaThere is a late-18th century wooden church in the centre of Szymbark, and next to it – a stone belfry. What is also noteworthy is the new, architecturally interesting Roman Catholic church, as well as the cemetery, where one can see 19th-century gravestones. The Greek orthodox church in the hamlet of Wólka is worth visitingą.

THE LOWER BESKIDS http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/the-lower-beskids/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/the-lower-beskids/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 22:46:43 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2254 The lowest and broadest range of the Carpathian Mountains situated on Polish and Slovak land. National Parks and health resorts are located here.

Throughout the centuries, Wallachian shepherds intermixed with Ruthenian peoples and succumbed to Polish and Hungarian influences. This lead to the emergence of an ethnic group, which was named the Lemkos in the second half of the 19th century. In 1947 Operation Vistula began. Polish authorities relocated nearly all the Lemkos deep into Polish territory. Few managed to return only after 1956.

Beskid Niski, Blechnarka © fot. Jacek KosibaFor over 30 years, during the summer, the Lower Beskids has been holding the Lemko Vatra (currently in Zdynia), which brings together the Lemko community from all over the world. The event’s program includes concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and meetings with authors. Its organiser is the Lemko Union. From the event’s website: “Dispersed over half a century ago to the four corners of the world, the indigenous inhabitants of Lemkovina, the Rusyns-Ukrainians, were supposed to disappear. They were supposed to dissipate in a sea of the majority. It is out of their overwhelming longing for the mountain Motherland that the idea for organising the Lemko Vatra has sprung.”

Beskid Niski, Klimkówka (1967) © fot. Jacek KosibaThe Lower Beskids are the wildest mountain range in Poland. It is surprisingly serene; one does not encounter many tourists on the trails, and the forgotten valleys, once teeming with life, are completely empty today. However, the beautiful sights and tranquillity clash with the traces of an eventful history of the land and its inhabitants. Among the noteworthy Cultural landmarks are wooden Orthodox and Catholic churches, wayside shrines, deserted Lemko cottages, a fortified Renaissance manor and open-air museum in Szymbark, as well as World-War-I-era cemeteries that are testimony to the region’s bloody history, and the resting place of soldiers from Poland, Germany, Austria, Romania, Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia, and other countries.

GORLICE | THE MUNICIPALITY http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/gorlice-the-municipality/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/gorlice-the-municipality/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 22:41:28 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2252 The Gorlice municipality is located in the south-east of the Małopolskie Voivodeship, between the Carpathian Foothills and the Lower Beskids, along the Ropa river.

The municipality comprises ten villages. Each one of them has its own story, relics (both secular and sacral), beauty of nature and landscape, traditions, places of cult, all of which are worth visiting, seeing, and remembering. You can reach them from Gorlice by car, bike, or on foot. It does not matter which direction you wander in from, as most of these villages are adjacent to the town.

The landscape is very diversified here, picturesque and attractive for tourists: a mountain-and-forest south part around Bielanka and the hilly remaining part, separated by the Ropa river valley. In the Gorlice municipality we can find everything which characterises the landscape, the climate, the architecture, the ethnography and the tradition of the entire Gorlice region, known as Ziemia Gorlicka – the Gorlice Land.

Beskid Niski © fot. Jacek KosibaThe Gorlice municipality is characterized by biculturalism, just like the entire region. Villages situated in the sub-cordillera near the Ropa river has been inhabited by Pogórzanie, or Uplanders, for centuries. Up to this day their traditions are cultivated in Bystra, Dominikowice, Kobylanka, Klęczany, Kwiatonowice, Ropica Polska, Stróżówka, Szymbark and Zagórzany. Bielanka village, on the other hand, is located in the west part of Beskid Niski. It is an old Lemko village and it literally constitutes a gateway to Lemkivshchyna, inhabited by the Lemko people – a group different both ethnically and denominationally from Podgórze Poles.

The municipality is also distinguished by its rich history – including its best-known event, the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive (1915), which resulted in breaking the Russian front and shaping post-war geopolitics.

Beskid Niski © fot. Jacek KosibaWhat the tourists will find here is quiet, clean air, picturesque landscapes, hospitable inhabitants, and a number of agrotourism farms with traditional cooking based on ecological food. Tourist attractions include: the Szymbark castle, the sanctuary in Kobylanka, Orthodox churches in Bielanka and Owczary, the wooden church in Binarowa, the centre of lace-making and the old synagogue in Bobowa, the Lemko village Bartna, the Gothic church in Sękowa, the picturesque Ropa lagoon in Klimkówka, the Wapienne and Wysowa health resorts, the nature reserve in Jelenia Góra, the Wine Bicycle Trail (Winny Szlak Rowerowy), and the nature-educational trail that follows the Wooden Architecture Route. Convenient roads make it possible to travel to nearby Slovakia.

The Gorlice municipality was a partner of the project to create the Carpathian-Galician Petroleum Route, which was supposed to save the history of the cradle of the world petroleum industry in Gorlice region from oblivion. In the municipality there is a Culture Centre which organises folk events in accordance with the traditional rite calendar.

GORLICE | THE CITY http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/gorlice-the-city/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/gorlice-the-city/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 22:31:36 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2249 Gorlice awaits discoverers. Those who find themselves here know that they will return to the capital of the Lower Beskids more than once. Gorlice is an excellent haven for several-day trips beyond daily routine, which will allow you to find places where the flow of time is slowed down.

Tourists in Gorlice will be treated to strolls along the narrow streets of the old town and the vast park. One can spend their time for leisure actively – the city offers an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, during winter an ice rink is available, and should the weather fail – the town’s atmospheric bars and restaurants are open. The city has wonderful gastronomy and hotels. In Gorlice you can find the place where the first kerosene street lamp was lit, come across the traces of work of scientist and pioneer Ignacy Łukasiewicz, and visit the open-air petroleum museum at the Magdalena estate.

Gorlice © fot. Janusz FiegaWhen in Gorlice, visit: the Karwcjan Manor (15th century), the neo-Renaissance Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the tenement houses around the town square (18th-19th century), the City Hall, the PTTK Museum, the Minor Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary (designed by M.F. Pavoni, with an altar by Marconi and painting by Jan Styka), the Orthodox church dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the wayside shrines on Węgierska and Krzywa streets.

Gorlice, cmentarz nr 91 © fot. Jacek KosibaIn Gorlice one can visit the Necropolises that commemorate the heroes of the Gorlice–Tarnów Offensive – the largest Eastern Front battle of World War I. Gorlice alone holds five war cemeteries (the powiat holds several dozen) that are testimony to the bloody struggles from almost a century ago. Numerous souvenirs from those days can also be seen at the Regional PTTK Museum.

TIME FOR HAUPT TO COME BACK | ANDRZEJ STASIUK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/time-for-haupt-to-come-back-andrzej-stasiuk/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/time-for-haupt-to-come-back-andrzej-stasiuk/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2015 22:13:35 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2247 So what of this Haupt? This writer who is forgotten, particular, akin to no-one? What of this author of excerpts, snippets, pieces with no punch line? It’s all  frayed, torn, without onset or conclusion, without distinct form. Six hundred printed pages in soft cover. Will probably fall apart from extended use. The pages will scatter. They’ll mix, shuffle as in an unpredictable game of solitaire. What is to be done with him? With this champion of the unobvious. With this slave and master of memory.

A few years ago we visited Ulashkivtsi in Podolia, where he was born over a hundred years ago. A lone ruined church stood atop the hill. He must have been baptised there. A boy came from the village, slid his hand into the gate’s crevice, moved the iron bar away and we could enter. Rubble, remains of paintings, the glare coming down from the high windows onto the debris. I took a picture. But I don’t even know if I’ve ever looked at it. It got lost in the electronic abyss. Copied, archived, among thousands of others. I will never find it. I can only remember the damp smell of old plaster and the sunshine falling from the high windows. I long for this picture but I know that I’ll probably never return there.

Zygmunt Haupt is a great writer. He hasn’t left any great “Work” behind. One might say he failed. Nearly forgotten, he died in exile in distant Virginia. For his first American bank loan he bought a horse and named him “Lisowczyk.” In the biographical film on the author, his friend says: “He didn’t look like a writer at all. He looked like a baker or a butcher.” He was lonely. Loneliness pervades his craft. Loneliness is his essence, the bygone – his sole topic. For these are, after all, the most important things in literature: our life, which is abandoning us.

Haupt remains unmatched. He has discovered, or perhaps invented, the language of resurrection. When he tells his seemingly static tales devoid of a distinct plot, the past is raised from the dead. We will have nothing beyond what we have experienced. Nothing else is worth the attention. The rest is window dressing, vain entertainment, and pleasing the crowd. Haupt knows this. That is why he created a language that is unsurpassed. He tells his stories in a way that makes words seem to cling to what they signify perfectly. As if memory was stronger than time, than loss, than nothingness.

You read Haupt and the lost reappears. As if one found their road to salvation. As if, for the duration of the reading, we were leaving the path that leads us inevitably to death. I do not know of anyone in Polish literature who can thus employ the Polish language to revive worlds that are seemingly gone, seemingly nonexistent. Only Bruno Schulz comes to my mind, perhaps.

Time for Haupt to come back. I believe we simply owe it to him. To condemn him to oblivion is to renounce the master of memory. Without which we are but bipedal animals that don’t even know whence they came, nor why.

ZYGMUNT HAUPT | LIFE AND WORK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/zygmunt-haupt-life-and-work/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/zygmunt-haupt-life-and-work/#comments Wed, 17 Jun 2015 22:12:01 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2245 Born on the 5th of March in 1907 Ulashkivtsi (Chortkiv powiat, Tarnopol voivodeship), died on the 10th of May  1975 in Winchester (Virginia, USA). Writer of prose, painter, translator, journalist.

He started his education in 1918: In Tarnopol, then in Jarosław, passed his matura exam in 1924 in Lviv. He studied engineering (1924-25) and architecture (1925-26) at the Lviv Polytechnic, and urban planning at Sorbonne (1931-32), but he did not finish any of those faculties. He did finish a course in the Volodymyr-Volynskyi Artillery Reserve Cadet School (1928-29), where he achieved the ranks of: bombardier, corporal officer cadet, platoon leader of officer cadet of the reserve force. He then thrice participated in reservist military exercises: in 1931 in Chełm (which got him promoted to reserve second lieutenant), in 1933 in Przemyśl, in 1936 w Stryi.

In 1933-34 he actively participated in Lviv’s cultural life, he was a member of “Rybałci.” This ephemeral literary group gained their secure place as “Kolumna Rybałtów” in “Krytyka i Życie,” the addition to Lviv’s newspaper “Dziennik Polski.” In 1935 he made his debut as a writer in Cracow’s illustrated weekly “As” magazine, where he published his story “Cel” (written together with Władysław Jan Turzański). In 1936-38 he has been publishing his works in “As” and in “Dziennik Polski,” he has also been admitted to Lviv’s department of ZZLP (the Trade Union of Polish Writers).

Mobilised in 1939, he took part in the September campaign as commander of the 1st Platoon of the 1st Battery of the 16th Motorised Artillery Division of the 10th Brigade of Motorised Cavalry under colonel Stanisław Maczek. Detained with the entire brigade in Hungary, he got across to France and joined the forming Polish army; he was stationed in Brittany (Coëtquidan), where he worked with Tymon Terlecki of the “Polska Walcząca” weekly, and in Provence. He did not partake in the French-German war. In 1940 he was evacuated to England, and then moved to Gosford House in Scotland, and then to London. In 1941 he was published in “Polska Walcząca” and “Dziennik Żołnierza.”

In 1944 he married Edith Norris, an American. In 1943-45 he published his texts in “Wiadomości Polskie Polityczne i Literackie” and in “Nowa Polska.” Demobilised in 1946, he moved to New Orleans; he published his works in “Nowa Polska” and in the “Wiek klęski” collection. In 1947-50 he tried to make a living off of his literary work, publishing his works in “Wiadomości,” “Tygodnik Polski,” and “Kultura,” as well as translating his stories to English and publishing them in American literary magazines such as ”Accent,” “The Chicago Review,” “New Directions,” “Furioso,” “The Nassau Literary Review,” “Perspective,” “The Paris Review.” In 1951 he started working in the Polish section of “The Voice of America” in Now York, which made his financial situation stable. In 1958 he was moved to the editorial board of the “America” monthly in Washington, where he worked as a translator and, on occasion, published notes and reviews.

In 1951-63 Haupt’s literary output was only published in “Wiadomości” and “Kultura.” In 1962 he began his cooperation with the “Tematy” magazine. In 1963 he received a literary award from “Kultura,” and Literary Institute in Paris published his short story collection “Pierścień z papieru.” In 1968 he retired, which did not stop him from publishing his works until the end of his days, mainly in “Kultura,” but also in “Wiadomości” and “Tematy.” In 1968-72 Jerzy Giedroyc planned to publish the second tome of his short story collection but, even though the author prepared it for printing, it was not released. In 1971 Haupt received the Kościelscy Foundation Award. He was buried at the Metairie cemetery in New Orleans.

Thanks to the efforts of Haupt’s son, in 1982 the author’s archive was moved to the Cecil H. Green Library at the Stanford University in California. In 1989 the Literary Institute published Haupt’s collection of prose “Szpica. Opowiadania, warianty, szkice” edited by Renata Gorczyńska and based on the author’s project of the second tome, but substantially different from it. In 2007 Spółdzielnia Wydawnicza Czytelnik published his tome “Baskijski diabeł. Opowiadania i reportaże” edited by Aleksander Madyda and including all of Haupt’s most artistically precious pieces published on the basis of the author’s manuscripts. In 2008 Księgarnia Studencka published a collectioin of works “Z Roksolanii. Opowiadania, szkice, recenzje, warianty” edited by Aleksander Madyda and including the rest of Haupt’s prose, published based on the author’s manuscripts.

Haupt’s prose was also published in France (“L’anneau de papier,” [translated by] A. Van Crugten and E. Destree-Van Wilder, Les Editions Noir sur Blanc, Montricher – Paris 1992) and in Germany (“Ein Ring aus Papier. Erzählungen. Aus dem Polnischen übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort von Esther Kinsky. Mit einem Essay von Andrzej Stasiuk,” Suhrkamp Verlag, Frankfurt am Main 2003; „Vorhut. Erzählungen, Skizzen, Fragmente. Aus dem Polnischen übersetzt und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Esther Kinsky,” „Bibliothek Suhrkamp,” Suhrkamp Verlag, Frankfurt am Main 2007).

The key genre in Haupt’s works is the short story, though he did also write reportages, essays, and reviews. He started his literary experience from writing fiction stories, but he soon abandoned this convention for autobiographical prose, which he was faithful to until the end of his writing days. Haupt’s stories are dominated by the topic of Kresy (pre-war Eastern Galicia), but these are not typically epic works because the presentation of the outside world is subordinate to the contemplation on universal topics – psychological and philosophical ones. Not documenting the past reality, but autoanalysis, the thoughts on the issues of truth, man’s place in nature and culture, or the individual conditioning of perception – all from the subjective perspective of the first person in the text – are most important in Haupt’s works. The reflection upon oneself and the world is, however, shaped in a literary form, which makes it non-systematic. Haupt uses first-person, memoir, unequivocally autobiographical narration, but he does not put the results of his recollections in chronological order, leaving their associatory arrangement. Almost every one of his works is a sequence of fragments constituting separate thematic entireties, sometimes organised on the basis of the parallelism rule. Haupt’s prose is in great part non-fictonal in its character, it is descriptive-discursive, which – when put together with autobiographism and quite often mise-en-abyme – situates it on the border of literature and paraliterature. “Pierścień z papieru,” Haupt’s only book published during his lifetime, represents a separate genre – a series of stories – structured by the author as a literary autobiography.

PROGRAM OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ZYGMUNT HAUPT FESTIVAL http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/program-of-the-first-edition-of-the-zygmunt-haupt-festival/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/program-of-the-first-edition-of-the-zygmunt-haupt-festival/#comments Wed, 02 Sep 2015 21:11:20 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2218 On September 18th-27th we are inviting you to come to Gorlice and Szymbark for the first Zygmunt Haupt Festival.

The organisers have prepared a program that teems with events focusing on the figure and creative work of the patron, as well as on modern literature and the authors creating it.

During the 10 days of festival, Gorlice and Szymbark will be home to a number of events focusing on the biography and literary output of Zygmunt Haupt, an extraordinary and inequitably forgotten Polish writer. Among the invited guests there will be historians, experts on and lovers of Haupt’s writing, as well as literature researchers – prof. Aleksander Madyda, Andrzej Niewiadomski PhD, Zofia Król PhD, Paweł Panas PhD, Marek Dziedziak. The writer’s son, Arthur Haupt, will be the festival’s special guest.

The program features the vernissage of Zygmunt Haupt’s drawings exhibition (from Arthur Haupt’s collection), the screening of the film “Errata to biography,” and Sławomir Grzymkowski’s monodrama “Non-remembering,” directed by Antoni Ferency. We will also listen to fragments of Haupt’s stories, read by Tomasz Schimscheiner.

We have also invited renowned writers and poets to Gorlice, ones whose creative work in many aspects relates to the writing, and also to the world view of Zygmunt Haupt. Readers will have the opportunity to meet Jurij Andruchowycz, Justyna Bargielska, Waldemar Bawołek, Barbara Klicka, Angelika Kuźniak, Artur Daniel Liskowacki, Weronika Murek, Andrzej Niewiadomski, Wojciech Nowicki, Michał Olszewski, Lidia Ostałowska, Taras Prochaśko, Robert Pucek, Paweł Smoleński, Andrzej Stasiuk, Małgorzata Szejnert, Artur Szlosarek, Ziemowit Szczerek, Krzysztof Środa, Krzysztof Varga, Ewa Winnicka, Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało, and Bohdan Zadura. The moderators of the auteur meetings will be Darek Foks, Jarosław Klejnocki PhD, Zofia Król PhD, Monika Rogowska-Stangret PhD, Andrzej Stasiuk, and Monika Stopczyk.

The rich literary program will be complemented by interesting musical events. We will listen to Jurij Andruchowycz and Karbido, Laboratorium Pieśni, and Misha Alperin, pianist and composer working with the prestigious record company ECM. Admission to the concerts, as to all festival events, is free.

We invite you to get familiar with the list of GUESTS and the PROGRAM of the festival, and to visit Gorlice and Szymbark in the second half of September.

CONTEMPORARY HISTORY – PAWEŁ SMOLEŃSKI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/contemporary-history-pawel-smolenski/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/contemporary-history-pawel-smolenski/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:36:47 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2210 Poland, Ukraine, Israel, Iraq. Paweł Smoleński writes down history that is happening “now,” in front of our eyes. In his reportage books he takes on difficult topics and gives voice to those who are not afraid to talk about them out loud. To paint the picture of a nation, the author reaches into the fate of specific people, to the individual – often painful – experience: the meeting of man and History.

Paweł Smoleński | Reporter, journalist, since 1989 has been writing for “Gazeta Wyborcza,” before that has cooperated with samizdat magazines. Winner of the Polish-Ukrainian Reconciliation Award 2003 for his book “Pochówek dla rezuna,” and of the Kurt Schork Award for his pieces on Iraq. In 2006 also received the Beata Pawlak Award for his collection of reportages “Izrael już nie frunie.” In 2012 he received the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.

It will be held at the Stanisław Gabryel Municipal Public Library until October 31st 2015. The works are from the collections of the writer’s son – Arthur Haupt.

ERRATA TO BIOGRAPHY | dir. Z. Kowalewski, 2008 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/errata-to-biography-dir-z-kowalewski-2008/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/errata-to-biography-dir-z-kowalewski-2008/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:31:28 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2206 PL | 2008 | TVP 1
script, directed by: Zbigniew Kowalewski | director of photography: Henryk Janas | editor: Sawko Wilek | voice-over: Robert Mazurkiewicz | music: Joanna Fidos | sound: Tadeusz Łaszczewski | consultation: Aleksander Madyda | producer: Robert Kaczmarek | executive producer: Film Open Group for TVP 1

Zygmunt Haupt: this overseas writer was read chiefly by American emigrants, in France, and in the UK. The excellent writing skill of a military journalist, the sharp mind of an artist painter, student of architecture and science make the film an unusual record of a world long gone. It is an homage to the unjustly forgotten author of “Pierścień z papieru,” architectural sketches, landscapes of Volhynia and Podolia, as well as the chronicler of episodes of the most recent Polish history. Works by Zygmunt Haupt evoked both the admiration of Józef Czapski and the open aversion manifested by Czesław Miłosz. A master of short form, an expert on mood and accurate commentary, Haupt made a living as a journalist for “Voice of America” and as an editor of the “Ameryka” magazine. A soldier under general Maczek, he loved horses. This motif and the most interesting stylistic tropes appear in the interpretations from philologists captivated by Haupt’s work: Aleksander Madyda and Krzysztof Rutkowski. Andrzej Stasiuk also reveals his fascination with the film’s protagonist, as well as inspiration drawn from Haupt’s writing. The excerpts of prose mentioned by the participants of the talk about Haupt are read by Wojciech Wysocki.

FROM POLAND TO POLAND – MICHAŁ OLSZEWSKI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/from-poland-to-poland-michal-olszewski/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/from-poland-to-poland-michal-olszewski/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:27:34 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2202 Michał Olszewski either travels all around Poland, or goes deep within, showing what is being hidden and denied. “Zapiski na biletach” portray Poland as a country that is unfinished, cracked, boiling with dangerous energy. In his book “Chwalcie łąki umajone” Olszewski builds a geographical and mental landscape of early 21st century. The author unveils provincialism as the core of our country – in the good and bad meaning of this word. In the recently published reportages “Najlepsze buty na świecie” (2014) Poland is presented as a double country: there are dramatic events taking place under the cover of the little stabilisation. This is the kind of Poland we wish to forget as soon as possible.

Michał Olszewski | Journalist, writer of prose. He used to write for the Cracow edition of “Gazeta Wyborcza,” cooperates with “Tygodnik Powszechny.” He writes mainly about Polish space and social changes after 1989. Received the Kapuściński Award, and the 2014 “Wawrzyn” literary prize of Warmia and Masuria for his reportage collection “Najlepsze buty na świecie.”

PHENOMENOLOGICAL TRAVELS – KRZYSZTOF ŚRODA http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/phenomenological-travels-krzysztof-sroda/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/phenomenological-travels-krzysztof-sroda/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:26:11 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2200 The books of Krzysztof Środa, an author exploring mysterious and far-off places, are non-linear streams of consciousness, where subsequent phenomena are caught and transformed into stories using the method of phenomenological reflection. The author is a hyper-attentive traveller who collects the smallest impressions, thoughts, details. What is individual, what is seen, is then elevated to the level of reflection that is universal and of philosophical weight.

Krzysztof Środa | Writer, translator, historian of philosophy. Worked for the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences PAN (doctoral thesis on Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology). Author of “Niejasna sytuacja na kontynencie,” “Projekt handlu kabardyńskimi końmi,” “Podróż do Armenii i innych krajów.” Won the Gdynia Literary Prize in the “Essay” category.

COLLECTED STORIES – AGNIESZKA WOLNY-HAMKAŁO http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/collected-stories-agnieszka-wolny-hamkalo/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/collected-stories-agnieszka-wolny-hamkalo/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:25:01 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2198 Agnieszka Wolny-Hamakło, poet, has recently published a novel in which she uses her fondness of metaphors and confronts elliptical street language with exemplary Polish. “Zaćmienie” is also a collection of bizarre stories about eccentrics and losers. The escalation of absurdity makes us listen to her interlocutors, among whom one can even find Anna Jantar and Arnold Schwarzenegger, without any surprise.

Agnieszka Wolny-Hamakło | Poet, writer, journalist. Author of the following books: “Mocno poszukiwana,” “Lonty,” “Gospel,” “Ani mi się śni,” “Spamy miłosne,” “Nikon i Leica,” “Borderline.” Nominated for the Gdynia Literary Prize, the wARTo Award of “Gazeta Wyborcza,” the Cogito Public Media Award. Her works have been translated to Serbian, Chinese, and Spanish. In 2013 she published her novel “Zaćmienie.”

NON-REMEMBERING | dir. Antoni Ferency http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/non-remembering-dir-antoni-ferency/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/non-remembering-dir-antoni-ferency/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:23:43 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2196 A monodrama based on works by Haupt and works on Haupt. An attempt to approach not so much the author’s creative work, but the author himself. His character, personality traits, and the experiences that shaped this personality.

“Not much is known about Zygmunt Haupt. We want to know more, but where can we get the information from? Genuine information. Case studies, limited and arid, are somehow “deprived of the human.” Who was this Haupt? It would be best to ask him in person and to look at him a little. That is impossible; there is, however, someone who can say more about Haupt. Differently.” | Antoni Ferency, director

Antoni Ferency | A director of the young generation. Graduated from the Institute of Social Prevention and Resocialisation of the University of Warsaw. Besides his social activities, he deals with drama and film. Since 2005 he has been cooperating with Studio Teatralne Koło (Drama Studio Circle).

EMIGRATIONS – EWA WINNICKA http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/emigrations-ewa-winnicka/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/emigrations-ewa-winnicka/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:21:54 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2194 In her books “Londyńczycy” (2011) and “Angole“ (2014) Ewa Winnicka presents reporter’s coverage about emigration. “Londyńczycy” is a story about Polish emigrants, people associated with general Anders, for whom there was no room in Poland, about great politics that mixed with personal dramas, about meticulous preparations to the 3rd world war, about loneliness and failed marriages, about permanent conflict: one that is political, religious, and inter-generational. In “Angole” the author gives voice to the “Polish invaders” of the Isles, coming from all social groups. She asks how Polish intelligentsia, labourers, small business owners, students, and the unemployed see the country they have entered.

Ewa Winnicka | Studied journalism and American studies at the University of Warsaw. Co-author of several documentary film scripts. Honoured twice with the Grand Press Award for written pieces on social topics. Received the “Okulary Równości” – an award promoting the fight against exclusion.

Starting with details, he guides the reader between the past and the present of the city. He portrays Stettin – a city that needs to cut itself off from its German identity and be born anew as Szczecin. Meeting with the writer will be a starting point for a discussion on controversies connected with the problem of the borderlands, city borders, and the arbitrary changes brought by two great wars.

Artur Daniel Liskowacki | Writer of prose, essayist, author of radio broadcasts, literary critic. Director of the literary department at “Kurier Szczeciński.” Works with “Teatr,” “Pogranicza,” and “Twórczość” magazines.

A MEETING WITH ZYGMUNT HAUPT – JERZY TRELA http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/a-meeting-with-zygmunt-haupt-jerzy-trela/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/a-meeting-with-zygmunt-haupt-jerzy-trela/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:19:23 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2190 We offer to the festival viewers a unique meeting with… Zygmunt Haupt. We invite them to readings of stories by “the greatest of the inequitably forgotten” Polish writers, which will be interpreted by:

Jerzy Trela | Actor, pedagogue. After graduating from PWST in Cracow, he got involved with the Stary Theatre, performing the role of Philip in “Król Mięsopust” (directed by B. Hussakowski, 1970). While cooperating with many theatres in Warsaw (National, Drama, Na Woli, Ateneum, Polonia) and in Cracow (STU, Ludowy, Juliusz Słowacki), he still remains faithful to the Stary Theatre scene and team. Jerzy Trela is an artist of a great talent and unlimited possibilities. Several dozen roles created in the Stary Theatre fit squarely within the scene’s postwar history. His acting personality has been shaped by creations such as Gustaw-Konrad in “Dziady” and Konrad in “Wyzwolenie.” He learned the craft of acting while working under Jerzy Jarocki’s supervision (“Szewcy,” “Wiśniowy sad,” “Rewizor,” “Życie jest snem,” “Ślub,” “Faust”), who spotted in his acting his characteristic traits: the perspective, the auto-irony, and the sense of the absurd. Jerzy Trela has also worked with Andrzej Wajda (“Tragiczna historia Hamleta księcia Danii,” “Zemsta,” “Wesele”), Jerzy Grzegorzewski (“Wesele,” “Tak zwana ludzkość w obłędzie,” “Dziady – XII improwizacji”), Krystian Lupa (“Powrót Odysa,” “Lunatycy”), Mikołaj Grabowski (“Irydion,” “Tango Gombrowicz,” “Wyzwolenie”), Kazimierz Kutz (“Damy i huzary,” “Pieszo”), Piotr Cieplak (“Król umiera, czyli ceremonie”). A laureate of many drama, film and television prizes, Jerzy Trela has been for many years a professor at PWST in Cracow. In 2010 he was awarded the Mistrz Mowy Polskiej title and in 2011 honoured with a Commander Cross with an Order of Polonia Restituta Star.

ZYGMUNT HAUPT. MYSTICISM – MANNERISM – MODERNISM http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/zygmunt-haupt-mysticism-mannerism-modernism/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/zygmunt-haupt-mysticism-mannerism-modernism/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:17:49 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2188 Zygmunt Haupt was a particular author, a writer akin to none other. He had no masters, no pupils, no epigones. In spite of this, literary theory seeks more and more names, more “isms” to describe him, classify him, name him. The goal of the meetings is to take on this challenge and simultaneously point to those characteristics of Haupt’s work which make him resist any classification. What will also be discussed is whether Haupt ought to be considered a forgotten writer or an underestimated one.

LABORATORIUM PIEŚNI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/laboratorium-piesni-3/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/laboratorium-piesni-3/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:16:34 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2186 The group uses traditional, polyphonic singing. They perform Ukrainian, Balkan, Polish, and Belarussian songs, as well as Georgian and Scandinavian ones, and many other. They sing the songs of the world a cappella, as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (such as the shruti box, bells, percussion, flute, kalimba, bowl, gong), introducing into traditional songs a new ground for vocal improvisation, often intuitive, wild, feminine, inspired by the sounds of nature. The source material undergoes a journey of sorts: the songs are usually brought from different regions of Poland, Europe, and the world by group members, then they are being worked on during a workshop process and on rehearsals to finally get its new shape – one that is traditional or one that is enriched, re-arranged. The band has received the Triton Award for the greatest artistic personality of the Festival at Fama (Świnoujście).

A band of female singers from Tricity, performing in their current constellation since 2013. Laboratorium Pieśni, apart from singing, also conducts field research in order to find new-old music (research conducted until now: Albania – polyphonic songs, Kashubia – funeral songs, Lower Silesia – rituals of carol singers). The group also creates theatre performances, where through traditional songs they tell stories about vanishing rites. The group’s founders – Alina Jurczyszyn, who graduated from the “Gardzienice” Academy for Theatre Practices, and Kamila Bigus, who graduated from the Academy of Music in Gdańsk – are realising the “Akademia Laboratorium Pieśni” project at the University of Gdańsk, and also conduct other traditional singing workshops in other locations. Laboratorium Pieśni is the co-organiser of the Etnowiosnowisko Spring and Music Festival.

POLISH SHAPELESSNESS – ZIEMOWIT SZCZEREK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/polish-shapelessness-ziemowit-szczerek/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/polish-shapelessness-ziemowit-szczerek/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:13:17 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2184 “Siódemka” only seems to mock the provinces, the provinces that lie in the centre of our country. It is a brutal, outspoken attempt at describing what is familiar and simultaneously very mysterious, and until now unexplored. It is a journey through the Polish heart of darkness, through national insecurities and fantasies, through centuries of history. It is a journey full of the grotesque and the over-the-top, fuelled with alcohol and narcotics.

Ziemowit Szczerek | Author of the books “Przyjdzie Mordor i nas zje, czyli tajna historia Słowian” (nominations to Nike and Angelus Awards), “Rzeczpospolita Zwycięska,” “Siódemka.” He is interested in western Europe and the oddities of geopolitics, history, and culture. He travels to strange places and writes about it. In 2013 received the Polityka Passport Award.

WALTZ WITH THE ANCESTORS – WOJCIECH NOWICKI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/waltz-with-the-ancestors-wojciech-nowicki/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/waltz-with-the-ancestors-wojciech-nowicki/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:05:08 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2180 In his essay collection “Salki” Wojciech Nowicki goes on a leisurely travel through time and space. He plucks out the history of the Kresy ancestors from the past, creating a universal image of longing and fear. It is also a record of a journey to metropolises, cities, villages, and hamlets, a story about wandering in the world, “with homes in the back of the head, and a feeling of homelessness.” Nowicki leaves Poland, takes more seemingly chaotic trips to understand, to revive, and to make peace with his ancestors. Unfortunately it turns out that the Kresy Arcadia which lasts in the memory suffers defeat when faced with reality.

Wojciech Nowicki | Writer, photography exhibitions curator, food critic. His book “Dno oka. Eseje o fotografii” got to the final stage of the 2011 Nike Literary Award. The 2013 “Salki” won the Gdynia Literary Prize in the “Essay” category.

HUMANITIES AND NATURAL SCIENCE – ROBERT PUCEK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/humanities-and-natural-science-robert-pucek/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/humanities-and-natural-science-robert-pucek/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:03:29 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2175 “Pająki pana Roberta” is an incredible mashup: an arachnological-philosophical treatise, at the same time a record of environmental considerations of an inhabitant of the wilderness, who observes how the world around him changes season by season. Mister Robert has settled in a hut by the forest. Reading works by great scholars he discovers that even though spiders can be found quite often in literature, there is little truth about these creatures there. This is why he decides to write his own book, to – as he puts it – fill the ditch between humanistic sciences and natural science.

Robert Pucek | Translator and outsider. He lives in the forest, with the spiders and ravens. Author of the book: „Pająki pana Roberta” (2014).

THIS HORRIBLE POLAND? – LIDIA OSTAŁOWSKA http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/this-horrible-poland-lidia-ostalowska/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/this-horrible-poland-lidia-ostalowska/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:57:08 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2173 In her reportage collection “Bolało jeszcze bardziej” Lidia Ostałowska talks about one protagonist. It is Poland B. Unwanted, lost, badly dressed, suffering from post-abortion syndrome. It is a complaint from people who are not getting by. Ostałowska remains a witness, not a judge. In the background of this book we also find a priceless story about us and our social insensitivity.

Lidia Ostałowska | Author of reportages about those, for whom it is more difficult – about national and ethnic minorities, about women, about youth from subcultures, about the excluded, and also co-author of many reportage collections. 2011 featured the publishing of “Farby wodne,” reportage book (nominated for the Nike Literary Award and the Gwarancje Kultury Award). In 2012 she published the “Bolało jeszcze bardziej” collection.

USUAL / UNUSUAL – WERONIKA MUREK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/usual-unusual-weronika-murek/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/usual-unusual-weronika-murek/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:55:29 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2171 Welcome to the world of wild imagination and uninhibited literary freedom. Here are the protagonists from hell, balancing on the border of reality and dream, life and death. A chestnut vendor and an astronaut, a coffin with general Sikorski and a deaf Mother of God knitting socks for Jesus in the light of the TV. In this crazy world nobody is surprised by an ice-breaker tea party for the deceased or a sanitary education kids’ play. Weronika Murek, like a court juggler of words, mixes literary styles and deceives the senses of the reader. A perfect getaway from the dullness of everyday life.

Weronika Murek  | Graduated from the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Silesia. “Uprawa roślin południowych metodą Miczurina” (2015) is her literary debut.

IN POLAND, SO NOWHERE – WALDEMAR BAWOŁEK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/in-poland-so-nowhere-waldemar-bawolek/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/in-poland-so-nowhere-waldemar-bawolek/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:53:51 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2169 “To co obok” is a social panorama of contemporary Poland. In agreement with the title (“that, which is beside” – trans.), Waldemar Bawołek shows a spectrum of our reality, one filled with the fate of those who are struggling to stay on the level of the social minimum, living in the world of ostensible possibilities. The author writes about and for those who wonder about the essence of work, commitment, and love; about their disappointments, about the antinomies of consciousness, and the opposites upon which human existence is based. Here, realism trembles anxiously between onirism and an intellectual game, it explodes with vulgarities and reaches the boundaries of the purest absurdity, which can be seen, say, in the fate of the protagonists.

Waldemar Bawołek | Writer of prose. Winner of the “Nowy Nurt” and the Kurpisz Publishing House Competition, as well as of the Zielona Sowa Publishing House National Competition, thrice awarded the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage scholarship. Has published the following books: “Delectatio morosa” (1996), “Raz dokoła” (2005), “Humoreska” (2012), and “To co obok” (2014, nominated for the Gdynia Literary Prize).

In her last book “My, właściciele Teksasu” she presents the people who did not abandon their endeavours even if the circumstances were far from favourable, and draws a multidimensional panorama of the Polish People’s Republic in inconspicuous events. “Śród żywych duchów,” in contrast, shows the drama of Polish war heroes. The author collects stories, reveals the methods of eluding censorship and to gain information in the era of fear and distrust, and by connecting the tale of the times of terror and of late 80s she creates an extraordinary chronicle of the democratic breakthrough in Poland.

Małgorzata Szejnert | Journalist, co-founder of “Gazeta Wyborcza,” where she has been head of the reportage department for nearly 15 years. Mentor of the new generation of Polish reporters: Szczygieł, Tochman, Hugo-Bader.

In “Marlene,” the author writes a vobrant story, one that is rich and behind the scenes. She gives the reader a kaleidoscope that meshes together the impressions of photographers, the memories of friends, entries from the unpublished journals of Dietrich, and press articles. The protagonist of “Papusza” is a poet whose popularity garnered her fame, and soon became her curse. Being accused of breaking the tribal code ruined her life. For years she has been living in seclusion and contempt.

Angelika Kuźniak | Author of reportage stories “Marlene” (2009) and “Papusza” (2013). Has received the Grand Press Award three times, nominated for the Polish-German Journalism Award. In 2012 received the Barbara Łopieńska Award for her interview with Herta Müller.

It is a story of one family against the background of the whole country’s history. An inspiring description of Galicia of the interwar period and during both wars. Whereas the Ukraine described in “W gazetach tego nie napiszą” is a territory locked by the Carpathian mountain massif, whose boundaries and regimes change at neck-breaking speeds. It is a riddle, a puzzle of countries, fronts, languages, a turbulent curve of occupation, liberation, and enslavement. It is also a botanical phenomenon, because the meadow of “green Ukraine” is home to several dozen completely different human species.

Taras Prochaśko | Journalist and author. One of the head representatives of the “Stanislau Phenomenon,” and one of the most interesting recent Ukrainian authors. His works attract the attention of critics, journalists, literature researchers, readers. He publishes short stories, novels, reportages.

MISHA ALPERIN SOLO http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/misha-alperin-solo-3/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/misha-alperin-solo-3/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:32:00 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2157 Misha Aleprin is on a constant musical journey. He draws from classical music, jazz, as well as traditional Eastern-European and Scandinavian music. His compositions are difficult to label in terms of genre. As critics note, Alperin owes an equal debt to Béla Bartók and Alfred Schnittke, as well as to Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. Alperin himself, however, although far from wanting to belittle the giants of American jazz, has special appreciation for its current European incarnations. The artist also goes back to his roots, drawing from the musical heritage of his family. He has, after all, debuted by playing at Jewish weddings, thus following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was a cantor and author of music at a synagogue in Bessarabia. Even though Alperin describes Jewish music as too tragicomic, the experiences of his youth allowed him to develop improvisational skills that he aims to pass onto his students, by conducting lectures at the Norwegian Academy of Music. “We had to play a repertoire of thousands of songs and dances right off the bat, without any rehearsal. I had never heard most of the melodies. For a classically trained musician this is a huge challenge and often very stressful.”

Alperin encompasses the cultural and music heritage in two ways. On one hand he stresses that the awareness of one’s own roots serves as a guide, and it allowed him to develop an artistic identity after years of adventuring with classical music, rock, and jazz: “I was confused. I didn’t know what really belonged to me anymore.” Thanks to returning to music of native tradition, his compositions gained a strong foundation, a centre of gravity. “It made me more relaxed, I stopped being afraid.” However, Alperin doesn’t identify heritage with just the culture of his own country, and points out that an artist should always be open to the wealth of worldwide experiences. “All folk traditions belong to one family.” The changes that took place in Alperin’s character after he moved to Norway are what the artist considers important. He describes the country as one full of poetry and stark contrast – suspended between gentleness, tranquillity, and darkness, mystery. The years spent in Norway made Alperin more introverted and withdrawn. Nevertheless, he feels southern fire burning within him. “It’s a part of me that explodes when I’m in love, when I eat a splendid dish, and when I play.”

Alperin metaphorically divides his compositions into dances and songs. “Sometimes I sing inwardly, and sometimes aloud. I never stop singing, though. I agree with Arvo Pärt, who considered the human voice to be the only perfect instrument.” Moulding his entirely own existential experience with musical experience, Alperin regards music as an expression of the personal idea of beauty which evolves and changes along with his character. However, it always remains a kind of dream world for the artists, one that allows him to express melancholy and the joy of life. “Music has always been almost the sole outlet for channelling a wide spectrum of emotions: passion, sadness… everything.” The beautiful, minimalist, and intimate music of Misha Alperin combines the emotionality of melody with crisp articulation. It amazes and pulls the listener out from their everyday life, it becomes something that demands their full attention, something that has to be heard. This is a proposition for everyone, including the most picky of music-lovers.

The concert’s program will feature original pieces by Misha Alperin, included on his recent albums.

Misha Alperin | Jazz pianist, composer, and arranger from Ukraine. Leader of Moscow Art Trio. Currently lives in Norway, is a professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music, where he teaches piano, improvisation, and composition. Has recorded 6 albums for the prestigious record company ECM. Apart from original compositions Alperin performs jazz pieces and a repertoire inspired by classical music and traditional music of eastern and Scandinavian countries. Born in 1956 in Kamianets-Podilskyi in Ukraine and raised in Bessarabia (Moldavia), where he used to play with folk musicians, simultaneously studying composition and playing the piano. In 1980 he joined Moldavian Jazz Ensemble under saxophonist and violinist Semjon Shirman. In 1983 he moved to Moscow, where he experimented by combining elements of Russian and Romanian folk music of the Moldavian region with his own subjective rendition of traditional jazz. Alperin started heading in the direction of jazz relatively late, and his searches remained less influenced by contemporary pianist and more by such masters as Art Tatum, Bud Powell, and Lennie Tristano. He also drew from the Jewish musical heritage of his family. Misha Alperin’s grandfather was an author of music at a Bessarabian synagogue. The fate of the Soviet Jew became one of the themes on the album “Wave of Sorrow.” In Moscow he founded Moscow Art Trio and collaborated with the international group Huun-Huur-Tu. Since 1993 he has been living in Oslo, where he conducts lectures at the Norwegian Academy of Music. Selected discography: “Wave of Sorrow” (ECM 1990), “Prayer” (Boheme/Jaro 1991/1996), “Blue Fiords” (Boheme 1993), “Folk Dreams” (Jaro 1995), “North Story” (ECM 1997), “Mountain Tale” (Jaro 1998), “First Impression” (ECM 1999), “Portrait” (Jaro 2000), “At Home” (ECM 2001), “Night” (ECM 2002), “Instead of making children” (Jaro 2006), “Her first dance” (ECM 2008).

CURSED TERRITORY – JURIJ ANDRUCHOWYCZ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/cursed-territory-jurij-andruchowycz/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/cursed-territory-jurij-andruchowycz/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:25:58 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2153 November 2014, on the first anniversary of the Euromaidan, was when “Szcze ne wmerła i nie umrze” was published. It is Paweł Smoleński’s extensive interview with Jurij Andruchwycz, an attempt at registering the pulse of history, which now beats on the western borders of Europe. In his works (prose and essays) Andruchowycz writes down the history of Ukraine, he also asks about contemporary Europe with its arbitrary division between the East and the West. In the recently published “Zwrotnik Ukraina,” which the author edited, writers, historians, and witnesses of the Maidan events ask whether it is possible for a new Ukraine to be born, or is Ukraine becoming a victim of Russia’s imperialist dreams.

Jurij Andruchowycz | Poet, writer of prose, essayist, translator. Founder of the Bu-Ba-Bu poetry group. In 2014 Paweł Smoleński held an extensive interview with him, titled “Szcze ne wmerła i nie umrze.” He had three novels published in Poland (including “Dwanaście kręgów,” which won him the Leipzig Book Fair Award and the Angelus Central European Literature Award), tomes of essays and poetry. With the music group Karbido he has recorded the albums “Samogon,” “Cynamon,” and “Absinthe,” as well as “Andruchoid” with M. Trzaska, W. Mazolewski, and M. Moretti. Author of translations from Polish, German, and Russian. Lives in Ivano-Frankivsk.

SOLILOQUY – ANDRZEJ STASIUK http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/soliloquy-andrzej-stasiuk/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/soliloquy-andrzej-stasiuk/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 18:56:52 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2151 Andrzej Stasiuk’s prose, maintained in constant hesitation between truth and fiction, is a testimony of consecutive introvert journeys, where ones made in the geographical dimension become inspirations for spiritual journeys that explore memories, individual and mass memory. The writer studies the behaviours of his own consciousness in different circumstances, developing a monologue on the world with all its events, phenomena, details. In October 2015 “Kucając,” another book by Stasiuk, will be published. Fragments of prose collected in this work, full of careful thought, show us the world, in which man is only one of the many inhabitants.

Andrzej Stasiuk | Author, essayist, co-founder of the Czarne Publishing House, Artistic Director of the Zygmunt Haupt Festival. Writes for “Tygodnik Powszechny.” Has been living in the Lower Beskids since the late 80s. Has received numerous awards, including the Culture Foundation Prize, the Kościelski Foundation award, the Beata Pawlak Award, the Nike Literary Award, the Vilenica International Literary Prize, Gdynia Literary Award, the yearly literary award of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. His works have been translated to all European languages (nearly 130 translations altogether).

CARTOGRAPHY OF CONSCIOUSNESS – ANDRZEJ NIEWIADOMSKI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/cartography-of-consciousness-andrzej-niewiadomski/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/cartography-of-consciousness-andrzej-niewiadomski/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 18:54:33 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2149 An opening point for this meeting will be two works by Andrzej Niewiadomski. The first one is the as of yet unpublished “K (esej podróżny),” which also includes the motif of a journey in Haupt’s footsteps. Another one is the essay “Mapa. Prolegomena” (2012). It is probably the first Polish book about a map. It is, however, not aimed at a narrow group of humanists – geography- and cartography-lovers, for it presents the map in a perspective of philosophical and theological reflection, in the perspective of history and aesthetics, in the perspective of the author’s private biography and imagination, as well as what we might call the cartographic praxis – a sphere of mutual influences between cartography and life.

Andrzej Niewiadomski, PhD | Poet, essayist, literary historian, editor. Co-founder and editor of the “Kresy” literary magazine (1989-2010). Has also done literary criticism for over 10 years. Published poetic books, and the essay book “Mapa. Prolegomena” (Lublin, 2012), and academic books, including “Jeden jest zawsze ostrzem. Inna nowoczesność Zygmunta Haupta” (Lublin 2015). He deals with the issues of poetic avant-garde, the newest poetry, metapoetry, catastrophism in the interwar period, the heritage of the interwar period in post-war literature, the dynamics of internal connections within Polish modernistic prose. His poems have been translated to English, German, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Bulgarian, and Spanish. He is director of the Modern Literature Deprtment at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Lublin.

ATLAS ESTREMO – JURIJ ANDRUCHOWYCZ & KARBIDO http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/atlas-estremo-jurij-andruchowycz-karbido-2/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/atlas-estremo-jurij-andruchowycz-karbido-2/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2015 18:52:46 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2147 “ATLAS ESTREMO” – that is the title of the new project by JURIJ ANDRUCHOWYCZ, the first laureate of the “Angelus,” and the Wrocław-based group KARBIDO. This literary-musical spectacle had its premiere during the international ArtPole Festival in Unizh (Ukraine). As opposed to previous projects by Andruchowycz and Karbido, recorded on the albums “Samogon,” “Absynt,” and “Cynamon,” this time the lyrical layer for the Ukrainian singer’s melodeclamation is comprised of prose from “Leksykon miast intymnych” instead of his own poetry. Out of scraps of his writings, unfinished sentences and phrases, Andruchowycz creates a kind if poetic collage. The music made by Karbido is also different from their previous projects. The artists abandon the aesthetics of a post-rock poetic spectacle. This time around the music is more raw and minimal.

2015 marks a decade of cooperation between Karbido and Andruchowycz, the closing of the “Samogon – Cynamon – Absynt” trilogy, and historic changes currently taking place in Ukraine, ones that we cannot ignore – these are the origins of the new project inspired by Andruchowycz’s book “Leksykon intymnych mist.” The author’s aim was to translate the energy and atmosphere of the cities described there, as well as the commentary regarding them, into the language of sonic expression.

Rich, sensual, full of memories, it is a story about the riches of the temporal world, a story which begins nowhere and ends in the same place.

Krzysztof Varga | Has made it to the finals of the Nike Literary Award three times – for his books “Tequila,” “Nagrobek z lastryko,” and “Gulasz z turula.” His recently published works include: “Trociny” (2012) and “Czardasz z mangalicą” (2014). He is also author of the essayist prose “Bildungsroman” (1997, 2014) and the volume of prose “45 pomysłów na powieść” (1998, 2014), for which he has been awarded by Fundacja Kultury. His books have been translated to different languages, including Italian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Croatian.

Justyna Bargielska | Poet, writer of prose. The 2003 volume “Dating sessions” was her debut. She then published “China Shipping” and “Dwa fiaty,” for which she received the Gdynia Literary Prize 2010. She won the Rainer Maria Rilke Poetry Competition 2001, and a special award at the 2002 Jacek Bierezin Competition. In 2010 published her first book of prose, “Obsoletki,” which won her the 2001 Gdynia Literary Prize. In 2012 published a volume of poetry “Bach for my baby,” which was nominated for the awards of: Szymborska, Gryfia, Silesius, and Nike (the book made it to the final stage). In 2013 she published her novel “Małe lisy,” which was nominated for the Nike and to the Warsaw Literary Award.

So a piece of writing or speaking which answers the questions: ‘who? what?’. The book ‘nice’ also wanted to give me answers to similar questions, which seems to mean that she’d like to be a noun. A non-masculine one. Talking about the back side of things. It doesn’t have to mean that it cannot be nice. Though very often if means exactly that.”| Barbara Klicka

Barbara Klicka | Poet, animator of culture. In 2012 published the volume “same same,” which was nominated for the Silesius Poetry Award. In 2015 her tome “Nice” was published. Her texts have been translated to different languages, including English and German.

JERZY TRELA http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/jerzy-trela-en/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/jerzy-trela-en/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 14:37:11 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2038 Actor, pedagogue. After graduating from PWST in Cracow, he got involved with the Stary Theatre, performing the role of Philip in “Król Mięsopust” (directed by B. Hussakowski, 1970). While cooperating with many theatres in Warsaw (National, Drama, Na Woli, Ateneum, Polonia) and in Cracow (STU, Ludowy, Juliusz Słowacki), he still remains faithful to the Stary Theatre scene and team. Jerzy Trela is an artist of a great talent and unlimited possibilities. Several dozen roles created in the Stary Theatre fit squarely within the scene’s postwar history. His acting personality has been shaped by creations such as Gustaw-Konrad in “Dziady” and Konrad in “Wyzwolenie.” He learned the craft of acting while working under Jerzy Jarocki’s supervision (“Szewcy,” “Wiśniowy sad,” “Rewizor,” “Życie jest snem,” “Ślub,” “Faust”), who spotted in his acting his characteristic traits: the perspective, the auto-irony, and the sense of the absurd. Jerzy Trela has also worked with Andrzej Wajda (“Tragiczna historia Hamleta księcia Danii,” “Zemsta,” “Wesele”), Jerzy Grzegorzewski (“Wesele,” “Tak zwana ludzkość w obłędzie,” “Dziady – XII improwizacji”), Krystian Lupa (“Powrót Odysa,” “Lunatycy”), Mikołaj Grabowski (“Irydion,” “Tango Gombrowicz,” “Wyzwolenie”), Kazimierz Kutz (“Damy i huzary,” “Pieszo”), Piotr Cieplak (“Król umiera, czyli ceremonie”). A laureate of many drama, film and television prizes, Jerzy Trela has been for many years a professor at PWST in Cracow. In 2010 he was awarded the Mistrz Mowy Polskiej title and in 2011 honoured with a Commander Cross with an Order of Polonia Restituta Star.

ATLAS ESTREMO – YURI ANDRUKHOVYCH AND KARBIDO http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/atlas-estremo-jurij-andruchowycz-karbido/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/atlas-estremo-jurij-andruchowycz-karbido/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:32:16 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2020 “ATLAS ESTREMO” – that is the title of the new project by JURIJ ANDRUCHOWYCZ, the first laureate of the “Angelus,” and the Wrocław-based group KARBIDO. This literary-musical spectacle had its premiere during the international ArtPole Festival in Unizh (Ukraine). As opposed to previous projects by Andruchowycz and Karbido, recorded on the albums “Samogon,” “Absynt,” and “Cynamon,” this time the lyrical layer for the Ukrainian singer’s melodeclamation is comprised of prose from “Leksykon miast intymnych” instead of his own poetry. Out of scraps of his writings, unfinished sentences and phrases, Andruchowycz creates a kind if poetic collage. The music made by Karbido is also different from their previous projects. The artists abandon the aesthetics of a post-rock poetic spectacle. This time around the music is more raw and minimal.

2015 marks a decade of cooperation between Karbido and Andruchowycz, the closing of the “Samogon – Cynamon – Absynt” trilogy, and historic changes currently taking place in Ukraine, ones that we cannot ignore – these are the origins of the new project inspired by Andruchowycz’s book “Leksykon intymnych mist.” The author’s aim was to translate the energy and atmosphere of the cities described there, as well as the commentary regarding them, into the language of sonic expression.

Line-up: Jurij Andruchowycz – voice, Paweł Czepułkowski – drums, Tomasz Sikora – saxophone, Marek Otwinowski – voice, bass

LABORATORIUM PIEŚNI http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/laboratorium-piesni-en/ http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/en/laboratorium-piesni-en/#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:29:12 +0000 http://www.festiwalhaupta.pl/?p=2018 The group uses traditional, polyphonic singing. They perform Ukrainian, Balkan, Polish, and Belarussian songs, as well as Georgian and Scandinavian ones, and many other. They sing the songs of the world a cappella, as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (such as the shruti box, bells, percussion, flute, kalimba, bowl, gong), introducing into traditional songs a new ground for vocal improvisation, often intuitive, wild, feminine, inspired by the sounds of nature. The source material undergoes a journey of sorts: the songs are usually brought from different regions of Poland, Europe, and the world by group members, then they are being worked on during a workshop process and on rehearsals to finally get its new shape – one that is traditional or one that is enriched, re-arranged. The band has received the Triton Award for the greatest artistic personality of the Festival at Fama (Świnoujście).

A band of female singers from Tricity, performing in their current constellation since 2013. Laboratorium Pieśni, apart from singing, also conducts field research in order to find new-old music (research conducted until now: Albania – polyphonic songs, Kashubia – funeral songs, Lower Silesia – rituals of carol singers). The group also creates theatre performances, where through traditional songs they tell stories about vanishing rites. The group’s founders – Alina Jurczyszyn, who graduated from the “Gardzienice” Academy for Theatre Practices, and Kamila Bigus, who graduated from the Academy of Music in Gdańsk – are realising the “Akademia Laboratorium Pieśni” project at the University of Gdańsk, and also conduct other traditional singing workshops in other locations. Laboratorium Pieśni is the co-organiser of the Etnowiosnowisko Spring and Music Festival.

Line-up: Alina Jurczyszyn, Kamila Bigus, Lila Schally-Kacprzak, Iwona Majszyk, Magda Jurczyszyn, Klaudia Lewandowska, Alina Klebba
