Nowa siedziba Teatru Żydowskiego dopiero w 2025 roku?

Michał Wojtczuk


Remont budynku przy Kasprzaka 22 na potrzeby Teatru Żydowskiego może potrwać dłużej, niż zakładaliśmy: od dwóch do nawet czterech lat – zapowiedział dyrektor biura kultury w ratuszu.

.

– Domyka się proces likwidacji sceny teatralnej na Woli przy ul. Kasprzaka. Zniknie z dzielnicy. Nie będzie miała nawet statusu osobnej sceny – narzekał radny PiS Tomasz Herbich podczas sesji Rady Warszawy, na której korygowano statut Sceny na Woli, usuwając z jego treści informację, że dysponuje sceną w budynku przy Kasprzaka 22.

To techniczna konsekwencja decyzji podjętej jeszcze w 2019 r.; wtedy postanowiono, że budynek przy Kasprzaka 22 przejmie Teatr Żydowski, a Scena na Woli przeniesie się do Pałacu Kultury pod skrzydła Teatru Dramatycznego. Od 2013 r. Scena na Woli nie jest już samodzielnym teatrem, tylko oddziałem teatru z Pałacu Kultury.

– Scena teatralna nie zniknie z Woli – odpowiadała Herbichowi radna Agata Diduszko-Zyglewska z komisji kultury. Tłumaczyła: – Przy Kasprzaka 22 nadal będzie teatr, tylko już nie Scena na Woli, ale Teatr Żydowski.

Scena na Woli wynajmowała przestrzeń w budynku przy ul. Kasprzaka 22. Jego właścicielem był dotąd Santander Bank Polska. W 2018 r. bank poinformował stołeczny samorząd, że planuje sprzedać nieruchomość. Warszawscy urzędnicy podjęli rozmowy o zakupie budynku. Jesienią 2019 r. ratusz poinformował o sfinalizowaniu rozmów i podpisaniu opiewającego na kwotę 30 mln zł aktu notarialnego na zakup budynku. Scena Na Woli ma się jednak przenieść do Pałacu Kultury.

Na Kasprzaka po remoncie budynku ma się wprowadzić Teatr Żydowski. Od 2017 r., od zburzenia jego starej siedziby na pl. Grzybowskim, teatr ten nie ma własnej siedziby.

– Scena na Woli zmieniała się, miała różnych dyrektorów. Od 2013 r. wystawiano tam spektakle, które są pokazywane w Teatrze Dramatycznym. Jeśli cierpicie, że nie można zobaczyć spektakli w Teatrze na Woli, metrem można w 10 minut dojechać do centrum i obejrzeć te same spektakle w Teatrze Dramatycznym w Pałacu Kultury – przekonywała. – To wspaniale, że budynek przy Kasprzaka został kupiony, że ulokowany zostanie tam zasłużony dla kultury warszawskiej teatr.

 – A na jakim etapie są przygotowania do remontu budynku na potrzeby Teatru Żydowskiego? – pytał radny Herbich.

W 2019 r., kiedy ratusz kupił budynek przy Kasprzaka, urzędnicy ostrożnie szacowali, że Teatr Żydowski będzie mógł przenieść się na Wolę może już “w następnym sezonie”. Jesienią 2020 r. Aldona Machnowska-Góra, obecna wiceprezydent, a wtedy jeszcze dyrektorka-koordynatorka ds. kultury, zapewniała, że mimo zapaści finansów miasta z powodu koronawirusa, ratusz nie zamierza wycofać się z tej inwestycji. Ale korygowała jej harmonogram. – Remont to jest tak duży zakres prac, że doliczając przygotowania, projektowanie, przetarg na wykonawcę, wszystko zajmie rzeczywiście pewnie ze dwa lata – mówiła Machnowska-Góra.

W czwartek na sesji dyrektor miejskiego biura kultury Artur Jóźwik przedstawiał inne daty. – Scena na Woli dysponowała jedną sceną. Zakładamy, że remont doprowadzi do tego, że przy Kasprzaka 22 będzie duża scena na ok. 300 miejsc na widowni i dodatkowa, mała scena. Inwestycję będzie realizować Stołeczny Zarząd Rozbudowy Miasta. Opracowuje plan funkcjonalno-użytkowy budynku. W zależności od przyjętej opcji remont potrwa od dwóch do czterech lat – powiedział dyrektor biura kultury. Przyznał, że na razie zakres remontu nie został sprecyzowany i nie może podać jego szacowanego kosztu.

– Będziemy się starać, żeby jak najszybciej budynek udostępnić Teatrowi Żydowskiemu – obiecał dyrektor Jóźwik

PAVLIK MOROZOV A ROLL MODEL FOR AMERICAN KIDS?

PAVLIK MOROZOV A ROLL MODEL FOR AMERICAN KIDS?

Henryk Grynberg


The son of poor Russian peasants, he was the leader of the Young Pioneers’ group at his village school and was a fanatical supporter of the Soviet government’s collectivization drive in the countryside. In 1930, at age 12, he gained notoriety for denouncing his father, the head of the local soviet, to the Soviet authorities. In court Morozov charged that his father had forged documents and sold favors to kulaks (rich peasants who were resisting the collectivization drive). Morozov also accused other peasants of hoarding their grain and withholding it from the authorities. As a consequence of his denunciations, Morozov was brutally murdered by several local kulaks, and subsequently glorified as a martyr by the Soviet regime. Monuments to him were erected in several Soviet cities, and his example as a model communist was taught to several generations of Soviet schoolchildren. By the end of the century, however, his legend had dropped into disfavor with the liberalizing Soviet regime, which viewed him as a tragic symbol of the pressures that Stalinism could exert upon the family. Yet he may become a comeback kid soon inn our days as “people turn in family members, ex-partners they recognize in Capitol riot footage,” according to DAVID K. LI AND RIMA ABDELKADER AND ALI GOSTANIAN AND MOHAMMED SYED of NBC Universal (January 26, 2021, 9:39 PM).

As millions of Americans watched scenes of pro-Trump mobs attacking the U.S. Capitol earlier this month, some viewers saw something familiar on their TV screens — their own family and friends. The FBI has been leaning on spouses, siblings, children and former romantic partners who spotted their loved ones assaulting the Capitol and responded by dropping a dime on them. “There are plenty people, I don’t think it was so hard to report someone (even family),” said Michele Galietta, a psychology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. “Does that mean you enjoy it? No. I think it’s regrettable and I think most people would be upset they had to do it, but felt it was absolutely the right thing to do.” Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Brock was arrested after his former wife of 18 years contacted the FBI National Threat Operations Center on Jan. 8 saying she recognized him in footage.

“I just know that when I saw this was happening, I was afraid he would be there,” she told an FBI agent, according to an affidavit supporting charges against Brock. “I think you already know he was there. It is such a good picture of him and I recognize his patch.” Another Capitol Police Officer has died, this time by suicide, after responding to the Pro-Trump riot at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.. STAR MAX File Photo: 1/6/21 The United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. was breached by thousands of protesters during a “Stop The Steal” rally in support of President Donald Trump during the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. The demonstrators were protesting the results of the 2020 United States presidential election where Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden. While there was a significant police presence attempting to keep the peace – including law enforcement officers and agents from The U.S. Capitol Police, The Virginia State Police, The Metropolitan Police of The District of Columbia, The National Guard, and The FBI – demonstrators used chemical irritants to breach the interior of The Capitol Building. This, while the Democratic Party gained control of The United States Senate – sweeping the Georgia Runoff Election and securing two additional seats. (Washington, D.C.

Not long after the riot, insurrectionists knew they could be in trouble, with their largely unmasked faces in clear view, especially to family members and friends thousands of miles away. Accused rioter Guy Reffitt, an apparent member of a Texas militia group, even threatened his adult children if they “crossed the line and reported” dad to authorities, according a criminal complaint. Reffitt allegedly said he would “do what he had to do” to his own family members in such an event, prompting the young man to ask: “Are you threatening us?” “(Reffitt) responded with words to the effect of, ‘Don’t put words in my mouth,'” FBI Special Agent Thomas Ryan wrote in the criminal complaint against Reffitt. “(The son) understood (Reffitt’s) statements to be a threat to (the son’s) life.” Little did Reffitt know, as he allegedly made that threat, son Jackson Reffitt had apparently already made that call. “I got in contact with the FBI after the Capitol riots about my dad,” the younger Reffitt told KDFW. The son claimed his dad had become radicalized and calling authorities, Jackson Reffitt said, was a last best chance to help him. “It was my moral compass, kind of, to do what I thought would protect not only my family, but my dad himself,” Jackson Reffitt said. “And it wasn’t just because I think my dad is aggressive, I think what he’s been manipulated into thinking is aggressive. The son’s plea for help struck a familiar chord with former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt, who knows firsthand how family members are often left with no choice but to call authorities to help loved ones.

“The Capitol was obviously bad. But if they’re posting pictures, if they’re taking bows for committing acts like this, then they’re capable of doing much worse,” Van Zandt, whose work helped convince the brother of Ted Kaczynski to turn in his terrorist kin, told NBC News’.” (Family members are thinking) ‘I’ve reached the limits of trying to help this person, I am so concerned about their behavior that if they won’t do anything to help themselves, then I have an obligation to try to find ways to help them (and call authorities).’  And even when loved ones are not directly helping law enforcement, some are pushing for convictions in the court of public opinion.

Helena Duke, 18, shamed her Trump-supporting mother in a viral tweet when Therese Duke was punched in the face the night before the riots. Viral video captured a Washington, D.C., street confrontation on Jan. 5 when the woman, who was wearing a law enforcement uniform, delivered a quick right fist into Duke’s face, according to NBC Washington. A police report obtained by NBC News states that “an argument ensued” prior to Duke getting struck. The younger Duke re-tweeted video of her mother’s encounter and asked, “remember the time you told me I shouldn’t go to BLM protests bc they could get violent…this you?” The Massachusetts high school senior said she felt compelled to identify her family after coming across the video. “I definitely feel like they should be held accountable for their actions,” Helena Duke told NBC News. “This is horrific. It was really disgusting.”

The teenager felt her mother was “hypocritical” over the summer for labeling Black Lives Matter activists as members of a “violent organization” before going to Washington, D.C., ahead of the mayhem. “But seen as she is in this video at a violent event, inciting violence and then getting injured,” the teen said. “It was just, it was so hypocritical of her.” The nation’s growing political polarization and flood of disinformation has turned the momentary discomfort at the holiday dinner tables into calls to the FBI. “It’s this mob mentality and cult-like feeling to it, so there’s a real concern of where we’re headed and seeing a loved one being part of it,” said Elizabeth Jeglic, another psychology professor at John Jay College.

“This is not Uncle Bob or Aunt Jane anymore. This is a mob of people attacking our nation, our freedom our values and that is not what your family values are about. When you see that, it can be very devastating. It’s like a betrayal of your family and you want to keep your family values whole.” And a former romantic partner of the woman accused to stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop — with alleged plans to give it to Russia — during the insurrection is cooperating with authorities, according to court documents. Riley June Williams was charged with disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds with intent to disturb a session of Congress, among other charges, before a former boyfriend called authorities. She surrendered to authorities on Jan. 18.

William’s ex told an FBI agent that she “intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service,” according to a criminal complaint.
