Michelangelo's final work, the Rondanini Pietà. Rescuing the human form.
2nd May 2020.
This is an in-depth look into Michelangelo’s last work the Rondanini Pietà. The sculpture has special properties in that when it is viewed from varying angles new meanings and forms appear. It also contains a never before seen alignment, which triumphantly turns the theme of the Sculpture from Pietà or Pity, the terrible moment the Virgin holds her broken, dead son in her arms, into joy and renewal, as the risen Christ is seen above in the clouds. Michelangelo died on the 18th February 1564; he was still working on this sculpture right up until a few days before his death. It is always described as being ‘unfinished’, but perhaps a better term for it would be ‘always beginning’.
Milan July 2019.
Written and filmed by Raymond Beggan. Music by Operation seasaw from ‘Music Odyssey’ written and performed by Dawn Copley & Raymond Beggan 2006. End Titles music ‘Come forth’ Raymond Beggan 2020.
The Buried Light of the Sword
July 2021
We call out to our Ancestors.
The falcon can hear the falconer.A big thanks to everyone involved especially the O’Reilly clan with main actors David, Raph and Eoin, to Mike K and the Mass Rockers, and to Robin and the junior crew for the evening scenes. Thanks also to those who offered their critical advice.
Carmina Burana ‘O Fortuna’ is one of the most recognisable and iconic pieces of music of the 20th century. The time is ripe for many things, and one of those is the reappropriation of this work from jaded popular culture to reflect it’s true theme of wrestling with fate at the correct moment – which is always now.
“So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me!”
