Teatro Principal de Alicante present Camino a la Meca (The Road to Mecca) from 2- 3 May 2025.

DirecciĂłn: Claudio Tolcachir, elenco: Lola Herrera, Natalia Dicenta, Carlos Olalla.

"El camino a la Meca, de Athol Fugard, se inspira en una mujer real, Helen Martins, que se rebeló contra todos los estamentos de su época. Un ser que persigue el deseo, la luz de la inspiración que no corresponde a ninguna edad ni a ninguna generación. Alguien que prefiere las preguntas a las certezas, que valora su libertad y su autonomía enfrentando a su tiempo y al mundo que la rodea. Al leerla escuche la voz de Lola latiendo en cada texto. Sin trascendencias flota en el aire las ganas de vivir con libertad y de hacerlo intensamente. Deseábamos conformar un elenco con el que el viaje fuera enriquecedor y placentero, porque todos sentimos que esta será una experiencia del todo transformadora. Honrado y entusiasmado por este nuevo proyecto que creo que va a quedar en la mente y en los corazones de los que lo hacemos y en cada uno de los espectadores que nos acompañen".

Hi there. I accidentally found this topic and I am very glad that people are interested in finding this rare film. Personally, I would like to see it not so much because of Ken Russell (sorry ) but because of Steve Pemberton in it (my favorite British actor plays at least two roles in there). I see that no one has offered this clip here yet, so... This is the announcement of the TV Cultura channel for 1994: https://youtu.be/ArMaXRh7oow?si=D8gNgkQEXBh9zaL6 Starting from 1:05. VHSRip quality I suppose.

The portuguese title of "Alice in Russialand" was "Alice no PaĂ­s dos Russos". Hope that can help you a bit. Cheers!

hello! i found it and uploaded to youtube!

The Ritz Cinema in Randwick, NSW presents Tommy on 1 and 3 Dec 2024.

"This classic rock opera is brought energetically to life by an outstanding cast including many stars of the rock music industry.  Told through the remarkable music of The Who, this is the story of Tommy, who, when just a boy of six, witnessed the murder of his father by his mother and her lover.  They command him, 'You didn't hear it, you didn't see it, and you won't say anything to anyone...' As a result, the traumatised boy retreats into the shadows of his mind and becomes deaf, dumb and blind".

Ben Wheatley on three directors- Ken Russell, Nicolas Roeg and John Boorman - "I’ve certainly been appreciating the Ken Russell stuff a lot over the last few years, rewatching it,” Wheatley told The Skinny of his forays into classic – and often controversial – British cinema. “I’m a massive fan of The Devils. It’s a spectacular movie and one of the best British films made if not one of the best films made.”
