Psoy Korolenko uses the film as a real-time platform for a pointedly insightful and very funny musical and poetic commentary both on the film\u2019s characters\/events\/style and on its time the transformational Soviet 1920s. \u0026nbsp;His commentary originally existed as a more than hour long rap and piano performance in Russian and was then translated into English (by Stuart Goldberg and Daniel Kahn) and performed as an English-langage piece. The current version is an organic mix of English and Russian passages\/songs. Psoy Korolenko is a wandering scholar, songwriter and underground artist with a broad range of stylistically diverse projects (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/khaloymes.livejournal.com\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/khaloymes.livejournal.com\/\u003C\/a\u003E).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENote: Parking in Area 2 or Area 3 (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/pts.gatech.edu\/PublishingImages\/ParkingZones1314.jpg\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/pts.gatech.edu\/PublishingImages\/ParkingZones1314.jpg\u003C\/a\u003E), enter student center from Area 2, descend stairs, and theater is on the right on the first floor.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27835","created_gmt":"2014-01-08 10:54:56","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:23:34","author":"Shamiso Barnett","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-01-10T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2014-01-10T19:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-01-10T19:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-01-10 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-01-11 00:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-01-11 00:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"6865","name":"artist"},{"id":"80701","name":"Modlangs"},{"id":"83151","name":"Russian songwriter"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1792","name":"Arts and Performance"},{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStuart Goldberg - \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:stuart.goldberg@modlangs.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Estuart.goldberg@modlangs.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
