BEZ ČEGA NE ULAZITE U AVION? – Meni je uvek hladno, tako da su mi potrebne čarapice iIi neko ćebence. Zatim hidratantna krema, zbog moje dehidrirane kože, i dosta vode.

KOJA VAM JE DESTINACIJA OSTALA U SEĆANJU? – Japan mi je jedna od omilje- nih destinacija. Verovatno za- to što sam mnogo radila sa japanskim modnim kućama, često su me pozivali da budem njiho- vo zaštitno lice. Imala sam privilegiju da bar pet pu- ta letim za Japan. Bila sam fascinirana koliko su oni tehnološki ispred sveta. Taj spoj tradicije i visoke teh- nologije je očaravajući. Oni su vredan i marljiv narod i zato imaju tako visok životni standard. WHAT DON’T YOU BOARD A PLANE WITHOUT? - It’s always cold for me, so I need lit- tle socks or a blanket. Then hydrating cream, due to my dehydrated skin, and plenty of water. WHY DO YOU LIKE PLANES? - Travel excites me. The fact that we can be on dierent sides of the world in a relatively short period of time thrills me. I learnt to travel by plane very ear- ly on, as a young fashion model, ying from New York Fashion Week to fash- ion week events in Paris, Milan or To- kyo. Even back then I realised how im- portant planes are, they are like a best friend for someone who does this kind of work. WHICH DESTINATION HAS REMAINED FOREVER IN YOUR MEMORY? - Japan is one of my favourite destinations. That’s probably because I’ve done a lot of work with Japanese fashion houses, which regularly invited me to be the face of their brands. I’ve had the privilege of flying to Japan at least five times. I was fascinated at how much more technologically advanced than the rest of the world they are. That fusion of tradition and high technology is captivating. They are a hard-working and diligent people, which is why they have such a high standard of living.

ZAŠTO VOLITE AVIONE? – Uzbuđuju me putovanja. Činjenica

da možemo biti na različitim stranama sveta za relativno kratko vreme me oduševljava. Naučila sam da putujem

avionom vrlo rano, kao mlada manekenka, leteći sa fešn vika u Njujorku na fešn vik u Pariz, Milano ili Tokio. Još tada sam shvatila koliko su avioni važni, oni su nekome ko radi ovakve poslove kao najbolji prijatelji. NA PUTU / ON THE ROAD AVION KAO NAJBOLJI PRIJATELJ A PLANE IS LIKE A BEST FRIEND Tekst / Words: Ljiljana Perović Fotografije / Photography: Goran Srdanov JELENA IVANOVIĆ, MODEL ZAŠTO VOLITE BEOGRAD? – Beograd je grad koji ima dušu. Osim toga, ima odličan geografski položaj, u centru je Evrope i vrlo se lako stiže na sve strane sveta. Radeći manekenski posao, shvatila sam da je meni lako da stignem i na istok i na zapad, mnogo lakše nego nekome ko živi u Australiji ili Americi. To je moj grad i mnogo ga volim. WHY DO YOU LOVE BELGRADE? - Belgrade is a city that has a soul. Apart from that, it also has an excellent geographical position, at the centre of Europe, and from there one can easily reach all parts of the world. It was while doing modelling work that I realised how easy it is for me to travel both eastwards and westwards – much easier than it is for someone who lives in Australia or America. It’s my city and I love it very much.

SA NAMA SE PUTUJE BRŽE I UDOBNIJE

NAJČEŠĆE SAM BELI ILI SREBRNI PUTNIK I’M MOST OFTEN A WHITE OR SILVER GUEST INTERVJU: MILOŠ BIKOVIĆ, ZAŠTITNO LICE ER SRBIJE INTERVIEW: MILOŠ BIKOVIĆ, THE FACE OF AIR SERBIA

TRAVEL WITH US IS FASTER AND MORE COMFORTABLE

Fotografije / Photography: Zoran Lončarević, Air Serbia

P opularni mladi glumac Miloš Biković zaštitno je lice nove marketinške kampanje nacio- nalne avio-kompanije. Pod slo- ganom Svaki put po tvojoj meri put- nicima je predstavio sve pogodnosti personalizovanog putovanja Er Srbi- jom. U veoma simpatičnom spotu Bi- ković istovremeno glumi belog (pu- tuje bez prtljaga), plavog (ima prtljag) i crvenog (fleksibilna rezervacija) put- nika, to jest prikazuje sve pogodnosti koje gost ima u zavisnosti od toga ko- jom je tarifom izabrao da leti. One of Serbia’s most popular actors reveals why his cooperation with Air Serbia came about, how the lming of the campaign went, what he does aboard planes, but also how he feels when ying home to Belgrade from working in Russia Jedan od najpopularnijih glumaca otkriva zašto je došlo do saradnje sa Er Srbijom, kako je prošlo snimanje kampanja, šta radi u avionu i kako se oseća kada iz Rusije, u kojoj radi, leti kući u Beograd

Kako si se proveo na snimanju spo- tova za Er Srbiju? – Bilo je zabavno, brzo, lako i dinamič- no, zaista sam se proveo lepo. A mislim da je i rezultat dobar. Zapravo je najlepše kad se poklopi da rezultat bude simpatičan i duhovit, a snimanje brzo i profesionalno. U spotovima, tvoj lik prilično raspo- loženo ćaska sa svojim saputnicima. Da li si ti takav kad putuješ ili si od onih koji slušaju muziku ili čitaju knjigu ne remeteći druge? – Nije svaki od ovih likova koji sam bio igrajući ovu raspolućenu ličnost baš raspo- ložen za ćaskanje. Što se mene tiče, kako kad, zavisi od toga koliko sam umoran. U avionu više volim da se isključim i da, ako mogu, spavam, jer su putovanja često iz- među dva dana snimanja ili nekih drugih obaveza. Nosim knjigu i slušalice, sve što mi pomaže u tom trenutku, zato što dobar deo mog život protiče u avionu. S obzirom na to koliko letim Er Srbijom, naročito na relaciji Beograd–Moskva, bilo je logično da počnem da plaćam kiriju jer živim u avi- onu ili da mi Er Srbija predloži saradnju. Kao što znate, desilo se ovo drugo. Da li si nekada tokom leta upoznao nekog ko ti je kasnije postao prija- telj ili ljubav?

Uvek mi je lepo kad uđem u avion koji leti kući It’s always nice for me to board a plane that will fly me home

Have you ever met someone during a flight who later became a friend or lover? - I encounter many friends, that’s most often the case. So, I meet people who I al- ready know. Of course, I also meet many other people. I haven’t made new close friends in that way, but I have made new acquaintances. Could you describe to us how you feel when boarding a flight bound for Belgrade after spending a long period abroad? - I’m happy every time when I return to Belgrade. It’s always nice for me to board a plane that will y me home, and particu- larly when I land in Belgrade, and dur- ing that journey from the airport I look around to see what’s changed. That’s be- cause, even though I y very often, some- times two or three months pass between trips, so I can notice things that happened in the meantime. I always have some nice feeling when returning home. What’s the most important factor for you when you travel by plane? - When there’s no room left in econ- omy class, so they transfer me to busi- ness class. How often are you personally a red, blue or white traveller? - If we’re talking about the state of my health during a ight, then I switch between all those colours. Joking aside, I’m somewhere between a white and a sil- ver guest. I often y without luggage be- cause I’m heading on a short trip, but I y in business class whenever I can. After this experience, which of your characters from the promo video will you think of the most on your next Air Serbia flight? - I rarely think of the characters I play. When I’m not working and not lming, I don’t think about my heroes. But I love it when I end up being surprised by what I’ve done. These three characters from the video are simultaneously me and not me, I couldn’t single out one of them in par- ticular.

P opular young actor Miloš Biković is the face of the new marketing campaign of Serbia’s national air- line. Under the slogan“Every jour- ney tailored to you”, he presented all the benets of personalised travel with Air Serbia to passengers. In a very appealing video, Biković simultaneously plays cate- gories of passenger ranging from white (travel without luggage), blue (with lug- gage) and red (exible reservation), pre- senting all the benets that guests receive depending on the selected ight tari. How did you find the film shoots for the Air Serbia promotional videos? - It was fun, quick, easy and dynamic; I really had a good time. And I think the result is also good. It’s actually the best when things combine to produce an ap- pealing and witty result, and when the lming process is fast and professional. Your character in the promo vid- eos is quite keen to chat with his fellow travellers. Are you like that when you travel, or are you one of those who listens to music or reads a book without disturbing others? - Not all of those characters I portrayed while playing this divided person are real- ly predisposed to chat. When it comes to me personally, that depends on how tired I am. Aboard the plane I prefer to switch o and, if I’m able, to sleep, because I of- ten travel between two shooting days or some other obligations. I carry a book and headphones, everything that helps me in that moment, because I spend a good part of my life aboard planes. Consider- ing how often I y with Air Serbia, espe- cially along the Belgrade-Moscow route, it was logical for me to either start paying rent, because I live aboard planes, or for Air Serbia to propose that we collaborate. As you know, this latter option happened.

– Srećem mnogo prijatelja, to je najčešće slučaj. Dakle, srećem ljude koje već znam. Naravno, upoznajem i mnoge druge. Nisam na taj način ste- kao nove bliske prijatelje, ali jesam nova poznanstva. Možeš li da nam opišeš kako se osećaš kada se posle dužeg bo- ravka u inostranstvu ukrcaš na let za Beograd? – Radujem se svaki put kad se vra- ćam u Beograd. Uvek mi je lepo kad uđem u avion koji leti kući. Pogoto- vo kad sletim u Beograd, pa na putu od aerodroma gledam šta se sve pro- menilo. Iako letim veoma često, pone- kad prođu dva-tri meseca, pa mogu da primetim stvari koje su se dogo- dile u međuvremenu. Uvek imam ne- ko lepo osećanje kad se vraćam kući. Šta je za tebe najvažnije kad putuješ avionom? – Da se desi da nema mesta u eko- nomskoj klasi, pa me prebace u biznis. Koliko si ti sam često crveni, plavi, a koliko beli putnik? – Ako pričamo o zdravstvenom stanju u toku jednog leta, onda pro- menim sve te boje. Šalu na stranu, ja sam negde između belog i srebrnog putnika. Često letim bez prtljaga jer idem na kratka putovanja, ali letim biznisom kad god mogu. Nakon ovog iskustva, na kog svog lika iz spota ćeš najviše misliti na sledećem letu Er Sr- bije? – Retko mislim na svoje likove. Ka- da ne radim i ne snimam, ne razmiš- ljam o svojim junacima. Ali volim ka- da se desi da me iznenadi to što sam uradio. Ova trojica iz spota istovreme- no i jesu i nisu ja, ne bih mogao da iz- dvojim jednog konkretno.

U SUSRET BEOGRADSKOM FESTIVALU IGRE PREVIEWING THE BELGRADE DANCE FESTIVAL

   /   

OTKUD ČOMSKI U UMETNIČKOJ IGRI? WHAT’S CHOMSKY DOING IN ARTISTIC DANCE?

24 |

S voje šesnaesto izdanje Beogradski festival igre obo- jiće Emocijama . Pod tim će se sloganom 16 kom- panija baleta i savremene igre iz 11 zemalja, sa 20 koreografskih komada i 25 sola i dueta, predstaviti publici od 22. marta do 12. aprila. Među njima će biti i Sidi Larbi Šerkauji, jedan od najintrigantnijih savremenih ko- reografa i aktuelni direktor Kraljevskog flamanskog bale- ta. Pred zvanični početak festivala njegova trupa Istmen iz Antverpena, grada u kojem je rođen, u Centru Sava izvodi Fraktus V. Inspirisan tekstovima lingviste i političkog filo- zofa Noama Čomskog, komad se bavi se načinom na koji pojedinac može da se zaštiti od političke i društvene pro- pagande, a na sceni se pojavljuje i sam autor. – Ovo nije prvi put da se moja dela izvode na Beograd- skom festivalu igre... Mislim da su u prošlosti Balet Žene- ve, Introdans i Akaš Odedra izvodili moje radove. I bilo je uspešno, kako sam čuo. Ovo je prvi put da ću biti deo ovog festivala zajedno sa mojom grupom iz Antverpena – Istmen. I ja ću biti na sceni, zajedno sa četiri igrača ve- oma različitih iskustava i sa različitih meridijana, ali i jednako velikom grupom muzičara u hibridnoj mešavi- ni japanskih bubnjeva, korejskih zvukova, glasova Konga i indijskih saroda. Za 40-godišnjicu rada Teatra igre Pine Bauš iz Vupertala (2014) predstavio sam ovaj kratak komad. U Fraktusu raspravljate o naprslini između poje- dinca i društva, a delo je inspirisano tekstovima Noama Čomskog. Otkud Čomski? – Prevodeći ideje Čomskog za sebe, shvatio sam da je proučavanje svih dostupnih informacija jedini način da se pojedinac zaštiti od političke i društvene propagande. Sva- kodnevno smo bombardovani vestima koje utiču na naše razmišljanje. Postoji intenzivna potreba da informacije fil- triramo i da se odupremo da u rečeno verujemo. By interpreting the ideas of Noam Chomsky, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, one of the most intriguing contemporary choreographers and current artistic director of the Royal Ballet of Flanders, says that he realised that studying all available information is the only way an individual can protect themselves from political and social propaganda. His Fractus V work signies the natural fractures that are essential to growth and strengthening in contemporary society, and we’ll get the chance to see what that looks like at Belgrade’s Sava Centre on 22 nd March Prevodeći ideje Noama Čomskog, Sidi Larbi Šerkauji, jedan od najintrigantnijih savremenih koreografa i aktuelni direktor Kraljevskog flamanskog baleta, shvatio je, kako kaže, da je proučavanje svih dostupnih informacija jedini način da se pojedinac zaštiti od političke i društvene propagande. Njegov komad Fraktus V označava prirodne naprsline neophodne za rast i jačanje u savremenom društvu, a kako to izgleda, moći ćemo da vidimo 22. marta u Centru Sava Tekst / Words: Jelena Pantović Fotografije / Photography: BFI, Profimedia.rs

formans je stvorio želju za daljim istraživanjem i otvorio pitanja informacija i manipulacija; propagande u odnosu na činjenični pristup. Uzimam za polaznu tačku „slobodu izražavanja“. Određeni tabui su u današnje vreme slomlje- ni, a određene istine su nesporne, ali nam i dalje nedostaje kapacitet da ih varimo ili stavimo u pravi kontekst. Imamo informacije, ali ne znamo da ih koristimo. U komadu postavljate mnoga pitanja, na koja je teško dati odgovor… – Pitanja koja sebi postavljam: „Da li se određene slo- bode ipak moraju uokviriti? Koliko neutralno može biti mi- šljenje? Koliko se identifikujemo sa uzrocima nepravde u društvu? Gde počinje ili se završava lična odgovornost?“ Osnovna teza Čomskog o „slobodi govora“ protiv politič- kih pokušaja kontrole i manipulacije medijima slaže se sa mojom umetničkom potrebom da stvorim prostor koji stal- no i iznova otkriva svoj identitet. Evolucija je kombinova- ni rezultat nebrojene serije malih i velikih revolucija. Sva- ki dan je obred prolaska, tačka bez povratka… Devet ljudi različitih nacionalnosti i porekla na sceni vode do inten- zivne, dramatične i tečne celine. Fraktus V označava pri- rodne naprsline, neophodne za rast i jačanje. Vaš rad kritičari često opisuju kao kliše i multikul- turnu asimilaciju na sceni. Kako biste vi sami de- finisali suštinu vašeg rada? – Pre svega, mislim da za umetnike u bilo kojoj oblasti nije potrebna definicija. Ja igram, jer ne želim da budem deo neke definicije. Ali ponekad je ljudima potrebno objaš- njenje, da kažete ko ste, odakle dolazite i šta radite. Ono što radim odnosi se na pokušaj da budem što bliže stvari- ma do kojih mi je stalo, koje volim i koje smatram da tre- ba braniti. Idejama za koje želim da se zauzmem. To mo- gu biti različite teme iz različitih kultura, elementi koji su meni važni ili predstavljaju deo mene. Radeći sa flamen- ko umetnicom Marijom Pažez, nisam istraživao definiciju

flamenka, već pokret. Dakle, kada ljudi kažu da „on meša kulture“, ja kažem „ne, ja ih tumačim“. Prevodim u oblast savremene igre. Radili ste sa budističkim mo- nasima, libanskom pevačicom, korzikanskom vokalnom gru- pom, vaš komad TeZukA inspi- risan je japanskim mangama... Postoje li neki elementi koji su deo islamske kulture u kojoj ste bili odgajani, budući da vam je majka Flamanka, a otac iz Maroka? – Volim tok koji je svojstven arap- skoj kaligrafiji, gde su slova poveza- na i reči prepletene. Pisanje zdesna nalevo ponekad mi je pomagalo da sagledam stvari iz druge perspekti- ve. Kada sam bio dete, imali smo sti- hove iz Kurana napisane kaligrafski iznad naših vrata. Voleo sam tu este- tiku. Mislim da je ta estetika deo me- ne, arapski osećaj lepote. Ali ideju o onome šta ja smatram lepim obliko- vala je i moja majka, koja je katolki- nja i koja me je vodila u katedralu u Antverpenu kako bi mi pokazivala sli- ke u njoj. Istovremeno, ima mnogo stvari koje moji roditelji ne smatraju lepim, ali koje sam naučio da cenim. Mislim da je zaista važno ispitati stva- ri koje smatrate ružnim, jer su to če- sto predrasude. Umete da kažete za sebe da ste više crtač nego koreograf? – Moja estetika, moj osećaj za le- po je dolazio iz mog detinjstva, što je bila mešavina kaligrafije i flaman- skih slikara poput onih koje vidite u katedrali u Antverpenu i Rubensa. Moj glavni izraz je bio crtanje i za- ista mislim da sam mnogo više sli- kar nego koreograf. Kada stvaram komad, to je kao crtanje. Čak i kada pevam, ja zapravo igram, to je kao koreografija unutar tela, vaša usta se kreću, vaša dijafragma, vaša nepca – morate imati osećaj pokreta koji ge- neriše zvuk, što je koreografija, što je igra, tako da zapravo igrate i ka- da pevate. I igra je za mene zapravo kada pravim krug i crtam.

T he 16 th edition of the Belgrade Dance Festival will be coloured by “Emotions”. Under that slogan, 16 ballet and contemporary dance companies from 11 countries, with 20 cho- reographic works and 25 solos and duets, will present themselves to the Belgrade public from 22 nd March to 12 th April. Among them will be one of the most intriguing contemporary choreographers and cur- rent artistic director of the Royal Ballet of Flanders, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Prior to the ocial start of the festival, his East- man troupe from Antwerp, the city where he was born, is set to perform Fractus V at Belgrade’s Sava Centre. Inspired by the writings of linguist and political philoso- pher Noam Chomsky, the piece deals with the way in which an individual can pro- tect themselves from political and social propaganda, while the author himself al- so appears on the stage. “This is not the rst time my works will have been performed at the Belgrade Dance Festival… I think that Geneva Ballet, Introdans, and Aakas Odedra brought some of my works in the past. And that was successful, as I heard. This is the rst time I will be part of this Festi- val, together with my Antwerp based troupe – Eastman. And I will be on stage, together with four dancers from very dierent geo- graphical origins and backgrounds, and an equally large group of musicians in a hybrid blend of Japanese drums, Korean sounds, Congolese voices and Indian sarode. I pre- sented a short creation In 2014 for the 40th anniversary of the Pina Bausch’s Wuppertal Tanztheater.” In Fractus V you address the fractures

between individuals and society, while the work is inspired by the writing of Noam Chomsky. How come Chomsky? - If I interpret Chomsky’s ideas for myself, I gain insight into the fact that the only way an individual is able to protect themselves against political and social propaganda is to study all the information available. Each day we are bombarded with news that attempts to inuence our thinking. Looking for prima- ry movements on the edge of tribal and folk- lore, this short performance raised the desire for more. In Fractus V, I want to deepen ques- tions of information and manipulation; prop- aganda versus a more‘objective’and factual approach. I also take, as a starting point,‘lib- erty of expression’. We have the information, but we don’t know how to use it. In this piece you pose a lot of questions that are dicult to answer... -The questions that I ask myself:‘It seems certain freedoms still need to be framed?’‘How neutral can our thinking be?’‘How much do we identify ourselves with the causes of the injustices in society?’‘Where does personal responsibility start or end?’Chomsky’s funda- mental appeal for‘freedom of speech’against political attempts to control and manipulate the media resonates with my need, as an art- ist, for a space to constantly reinvent my own identity. Evolution is the combined result of an endless series of minor and major revo- lutions. Every day is a rite of passage, a point of no return… With nine dierent national- ities and outspoken identities on stage, dia- logue will come to form an intense, dramat- ic and uent whole. Fractus V stands for the natural fractures that are necessary to grow and become stronger.

When people say “he is mixing cultures”, I say, “no, I am translating”. I’m translating into the eld that is contemporary dance Kada ljudi kažu: „On meša kulture“, ja kažem: „Ne, ja ih tumačim“. Prevodim ih u oblast savremene igre

Your work is often described by critics as being the cliché of a multicultural melt- ing pot on stage. How would you yourself dene the essence of your work? - First of all, I think that for any artist in any eld it is never nice to be dened as anything. I dance because I don’t want to be dened. But of course people need you to explain yourself, to say who you are, where you come from and what you do. What I do is try to stay as close as possible to the things I care about, love and nd defensible; the things I want to stand for. This can be a mix of things from dierent cul- tures that are elements which matter to me and form part of who I am. When I worked with Fla- menco artist María Pagés, it was not the deni- tion of Flamenco that I cared about, it was the movement. So when people say “he is mixing cultures”, I say, “no, I am translating”. I’m trans- lating into the eld that is contemporary dance. You have worked with Buddhist monks, a Lebanese singer, a Corsican vocal group, while your piece TeZukA was inspired by Japanese manga... In your opinion, are there some elements that are genuine parts of the culture you were raised in, given that your mother is Flemish and your father is Moroccan? - I love the ow that you nd in Arabic writing, where the letters are connected and the words are intertwined. Being educated in reading from right to left has sometimes helped me to look at things from a dierent perspective. When I was a kid, we used to have verses from the Quran writ- ten in calligraphy above our doors. I loved the aesthetics of them. I think the part of me that is Arabic has been indoctrinated with a certain sense of beauty. But the idea of what I consider beautiful was also shaped by my mother, who is Catholic and used to take me to Antwerp Ca- thedral and show me the murals there. But there are simultaneously many things that my parents didn’t consider beautiful, but which I learned to appreciate. I think it is really important to ques- tion the things you consider ugly, because those are prejudices. You often claim to be a sketch artist rath- er than a choreographer? - My aesthetic, my sense of beauty, came from my childhood, which was a mixture of cal- ligraphy and Flemish painters, like the ones you see at Antwerp Cathedral, and Rubens. My main expression was drawing – and I really do feel that I’m much more a sketch artist than a choreogra- pher. When I make work, it is drawing and I don’t make a distinction. Even when I’m singing, I’m actually dancing – it’s like a choreography within the body – your mouth moves, your diaphragm, your palette – you have to have a sense of the technique of movement that generates sound, which is choreography, which is dance, so your actually dancing when you’re singing. And danc- ing for me is actually when I’m drawing a circle and sketching.

Mislim da je zaista važno

I think it’s really important to examine things that you nd ugly, because those are often prejudices ispitati stvari koje smatrate ružnim, jer su to često predrasude

TRAŽIM TOPLU DUŠU RAHMANJINOVA I SEARCH FOR RACHMANINOFF’S WARM SOUL

28 |

B eogradska publika imala je u decembru pri- liku da u Kolarčevoj zadužbini čuje Aleksan- dra Sinčuka, pijanistu koji je svojim nastupom slavio 145 godina od rođenja velikog ruskog kompozitora Sergeja Rahmanjinova. – Oduvek sam ga zamišljao kao gospodskog ari- stokratu i velikog intelektualca. Bio je vrlo otvoren, po- tresen tuđom patnjom i čovek širokog srca. Doživljavam ga kao pripadnika starije epohe, kao čoveka 19. veka. Rahmanjinov je živeo u rodnoj carskoj Rusiji do Ok- tobarske revolucije 1918, nakon čega je bio prinuđen da je napusti. Živeo je u Evropi i Americi i svedočio vre- menu u kojem su stvarali Čajkovski i Rimski-Korsakov. – Njegovi savremenici ostavili su dubok trag u sti- listici Rahmanjinovljeve muzike. Kao i svaki genije, menjao se, nalazio je u tokovima 20. veka nešto blisko sebi i to koristio. Ali ono glavno, zbog čega ga milio- ni ljudi na planeti vole, uvek je ostajalo nepromenje- no u njegovoj muzici. Za Sinčuka, Rahmanjinov je iznad svega romanti- čar koji se kroz svoju muziku obraća srcima slušalaca i ostaje zauvek u njima. – Danas je sve teže biti romantičan. Ponekad ve- rujem da bi 19. vek bio idealan za mene. Ljudi su bili ljubazniji i iskreniji, mogli su da jedni drugima govore stvari o kojima se sada govori samo među najbližima. Rahmanjinovljeva dela su na repertoaru gotovo svih Sinčukovih solističkih nastupa širom sveta, pa o njemu zna mnogo anegdota, ali stalno podseća na to koliko je Sergej bio voljen, a istovremeno nesvestan svoje popularnosti. – Godine 1919, Rahmanjinov je nastupao na dobro- tvornom koncertu u Metropoliten operi. Svirao je i ču- veni violinista Jaša Hajfec, a publika mu je zatražila bis. Organizatori koncerta priredili su aukciju. Kao re- zultat, Hajfecov bis prodao se za nekoliko stotina hi- ljada dolara. Potom su organizatori na aukciju pustili Rahmanjinovljev Preludijum cis-mol kao bis. Rahmanji- nov je bio uplašen kad je čuo sumu koja je bila uplaće- na za Hajfecov bis i siguran da njegov preludijum ne- će dobiti toliko. Izvođenje je prodato za milion dolara. Rahmanjinov je bio oduševljen, ali je s osmehom kon- statovao da nije dobio nijednog centa od tog miliona. Sinčuk je nekoliko godina živeo u Americi. Posetio je Rahmanjinovljev dom na Beverli Hilsu, koji je ku- Aleksander Sinčuk (30), pijanista rođen u Nahotki, imao je samo 12 godina kada se prvi put sreo sa stvaralaštvom Sergeja Rahmanjinova. Svirao je njegov čuveni Preludijum u cis-molu. Od tada slavnog ruskog kompozitora prati kao zvezdu koju pokušava da dosegne Alexander Sinchuk (30), a pianist born in the Russian town of Nakhodka, was only 12 when he rst came across Sergei Rachmanino’s creations. He performed his famous Prelude in C-sharp minor. Since then, he has been following the famous Russian composer like a star he’s trying to reach. Tekst / Words: Ana Vodinelić Fotografije / Photography: Privatna arhiva, Profimedia.rs

T he Belgrade audience were able to conrm that’s succeed- ed in that endeavour at Kolarac Endowment Foundation in December, where he performed to commemorate the 145 th anniversary of Rachmanino’s birth. “I’ve always imagined him as a gentle aristocrat and great in- tellectual. He was very open, moved by the suering of others and a man with an openn heart. I see him as a member of the older ep- och, as a man of the 19 th century.” Rachmanino mostly lived in his native Russian Empire in the 20th century, until the October Revolution of 1917, after which he was forced into exile. He lived in Europe and America and witnessed the creative periods of Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. “His contemporaries left a deep impression on the stylistics of Rahmanino’s music. Like every genius, he changed, nding some- thing close to him in the 20 th century and using that. But that main element, the reason millions of people around the planet love him, always remained unchanged in his music.” For Sinchuk, Rachmanino was rst and foremost a romanti- cist who addresses the hearts of listeners through his music and re- mains forever in them. “It’s increasingly dicult to be romantic today. I sometimes believe that the 19 th century would have been ideal for me. People were kinder and more sincere, they could talk to each other about things that are now only discussed between the closest loved ones.” Rachmanino’s works are on the repertoire for almost all of Sin- chuk’s solo performances around the world, so he knows lots of an- ecdotes that relate to him, but he always notes how much Sergei was loved and simultaneously unaware of his popularity. “In the year 1919, Rachmanino performed in a charity concert at the Metropolitan Opera. Also performing was renowned violinist Jascha Heifetz, and the audience sought an encore from him. The concert’s organisers arranged an auction. And as a result Heifetz’s encore was sold for several hundred thousand dollars. Then the or- ganisers auctioned Rahmanino’s Prelude in C-sharp minor as an en- core. Rahmanino was scared when he heard how much had been paid for Heifetz’s encore and was certain that his prelued wouldn’t
