Rehearsal stress
Fixing technical problems
(Photo: Daniela Dostálková)Oh boy, after the rehearsal of Blink Blink this morning this Czech lady came up to me and asked if I knew what "blink" means in Czech. I said I didn't and then she said: "It means to vomit". I mean, the piece meant to be whimsical, but I didn't choose this meaning option. I am kind of embarrassed by this.
The rehearsal went okay, by the way, except for one glitch. My laptop, containing the samples necessary for the piece, never failed on me but now it crashed. I could revive it rather quickly though, but it was the cause for some sweating on stage.
Ostravaská Banda played very well, and with some attention from Zsolt Nagy things started to work out as I intended. The people picked up the humor in the music so I am fairly confident for the premiere on Wednesday.
