I got to the airport, to the hotel, checked in,
1
4427
3047
چووم بۆ فڕۆکه‌خانه‌، بۆ هۆتێله‌که‌، شوێنم گرت
00:23
and, sitting there in the lobby, was a brochure

له‌هۆڵه‌که‌ دانیشتبووم، نامیلکه‌یه‌کی لێبوو
00:26
for the Sydney Festival. I thumbed through it,
3
10253
2622
بۆ ڤیستیڤاڵی سیدنی، چاوێکم پیاخشاند
00:28
and I came across a show called "Minto: Live."

12875

چووم بۆ به‌رنامه‌یه‌ک به‌ناوی، مینتۆ ده‌ژی
00:31
The description read: "The suburban streets of Minto

What was this place called Minto?

ئه‌و شوێنه‌ی ناوی مینتۆ بوو چی بوو
00:45
Sydney, as I would learn, is a city of suburbs,
10

2361
سیدنی، کاتێک فێر ده‌بم، شاری ناوچه‌ قه‌راخییه‌کان

and Minto lies southwest, about an hour away.
11
32271
3673
وه‌ مینتۆ ده‌که‌وێته‌ باشوری خۆرئاوا، کاتژمێرێک دووره‌
00:51
I have to say, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind
12
35944
3359
ده‌بێت بڵێم، به‌و شێوه‌یه‌ نه‌بوو که‌ له‌مێشکی مندا بوو
00:55

39303
1597
له‌یه‌که‌م ڕۆژدا
00:56
I mean, I'd thought about the Harbour Bridge or Bondi Beach,
14
40900
2939
مه‌به‌ستم له‌وه‌یه‌، من بیرم له‌ پردی به‌نده‌ره‌کان یان قه‌راخ ده‌ریای بۆندی ده‌کرده‌وه‌
00:59
but Minto? But still, I'm a producer,
15
43839
2956
به‌ڵام، مینتۆ؟ به‌ڵام هێشتا، من به‌رهه‌م هێنم
01:02

وه‌ هه‌رگیز له‌بیرم ناچێت چیم بینی گه‌یشتمه‌ ئه‌وێ
01:13
For the performance, the audience walked

بۆ نواندنه‌که‌، خه‌ڵکه‌که‌ به‌پێ ده‌ڕۆیشت
01:15
around the neighborhood from house to house,
21
59779

له‌ ده‌ورووبه‌ری کۆڵانه‌کاندا له‌ ماڵێکه‌وه‌ بۆ ماڵێکی تر

وه‌ دانیشتوانه‌کان که‌ ئه‌کته‌راکان بوون
01:21
they came out of their houses, and they performed

65449

ئه‌وان له‌ ماڵه‌کانیان هاتنه‌ ده‌ره‌وه‌ و نواندنیان دەکرد
01:23
these autobiographical dances on their lawns,
24

Lone Twin had come to Minto and worked

له‌گه‌ڵ دانیشتوانه‌که‌ کرد و ئه‌و سه‌ما کردنه‌یان دروست کردووه‌
01:40
This Australian-Indian girl, she came out and started
30
84394
3838
ئه‌م کچه‌ ئوستڕالییه‌ - هیندییه‌، ئه‌و هاتۆته‌ ده‌ره‌وه‌ و ده‌ستی کردووه‌
01:44
to dance on her front lawn,
31
88232
2021
به‌ سه‌ماکردن له‌به‌رده‌م پاوانه‌کانی دا
01:46
and her father peered out the window to see
32
90253
2938
وە باوکی له‌ په‌نجه‌ره‌که‌وه‌ ته‌ماشا ده‌کات
01:49
what all the noise and commotion was about,
33
93191
2507
بزانێت ئه‌و هه‌موو ده‌نگه‌ ده‌نگ و ئاژاوه‌یه‌ چییه‌
01:51
and he soon joined her.
34
95698
2208
وه‌ ماوه‌یه‌ک دوای ئه‌وه‌ هاته‌ لای کچه‌که‌ی
01:53
And he was followed by her little sister.
35
97906
3127
ئه‌ویش خوشکه‌ بچوکه‌که‌ی به‌دواوەبوو
01:56
And soon they were all dancing this joyous,
36
101033
3058
ده‌ستبه‌جێ، هه‌موویان به‌ ئاسوده‌یی سه‌مایان ده‌کرد
01:59
exuberant dance right there on their lawn. (Laughter)

4175
به‌ دڵخۆشییه‌ک و زه‌وقێکه‌وه‌ له‌وێ له‌سه‌ر پاوه‌نه‌که‌یان. پێکه‌نین
02:04
And as I walked through the neighborhood,
38
108266
2192
کاتێک به‌ناو ناوچه‌که‌دا ڕۆشتم
02:06
I was amazed and I was moved by the incredible
39
110458
4221
سه‌رسام بووم هه‌ستم ده‌جوڵا به‌هۆی
02:10
sense of ownership this community clearly felt
40
114679
2437
هه‌ست کردنی ئه‌م کۆمه‌ڵگایه‌ به‌ خاوه‌ندارێتی
02:13
about this event.
41
117116
2570
له‌باره‌ی ئه‌م بۆنه‌یه‌وه‌
02:15
"Minto: Live" brought Sydneysiders into dialogue
42
119686
2959
مینتۆ: ده‌ژی، خه‌ڵکانی قه‌راخ سیدنی هێنایه‌ قسه‌کردن
02:18
with international artists, and really celebrated
43
122645
3330
له‌گه‌ڵ هونه‌رمه‌ندانی نێوده‌وڵه‌تی و هه‌ستیان به‌خۆشی کرد
02:21
the diversity of Sydney on its own terms.
44
125975
3488
له‌ جیاوازی سیدنی له‌ شێوه‌ی خۆیدا
02:25
The Sydney Festival which produced "Minto: Live" I think
45
129463
3713
وابزانم، ڤیستیڤاڵی سیدنی :مینتۆ: ده‌ژی" به‌رهه‌م هێناوه‌
02:29
represents a new kind of 21st-century arts festival.
46
133176
3775
نوێنه‌رایه‌تی جۆرێکی تازه‌ی ڤیستیڤاڵی هونه‌ری ده‌کات له‌سه‌ده‌ی (٢١)دا
02:32
These festivals are radically open.
47
136951
3515
به‌شێوه‌یه‌کی بنه‌ڕه‌تی، ئه‌م ڤیستیڤاڵانه‌ کراوه‌ن
02:36
They can transform cities and communities.
48
140466
3712
ده‌توانن کۆمه‌ڵگاکان و شاره‌کان بگۆرن
02:40
To understand this, I think it kind of makes sense
49
144178
2680
بۆ تێگه‌یشتن له‌مه‌، وابزانم باشتره‌
02:42
to look where we've come from.
50
146858
2326
ته‌ماشای ئه‌و شوێنه‌ بکه‌ین که‌ لێوه‌ی هاتوین
02:45
Modern arts festivals were born
51
149184
2023
ڤیستڤاڵی هونه‌ری مۆدێرن له‌دایک بوو
02:47
in the rubble of World War II.
52
151207
1498
له‌ناو کاولکاری جه‌نگی جیهانی دووه‌م دا
02:48
Civic leaders created these annual events
53
152705
2602
سه‌رکرده‌کانی شارستانی ئه‌م بۆنه‌ ساڵانه‌یان دروست کرد
02:51
to celebrate culture as the highest
54
155307
3109
بۆ ئاهه‌نگ گێڕانی کلتوری له‌ به‌رزترین
02:54
expression of the human spirit.
55
158416
2605
ڕوخساری ڕۆحی مرۆڤ
02:56
In 1947, the Edinburgh Festival was born
56
161021
3083
له‌ساڵی ١٩٤٧، ڤیستیڤاڵی ئیدینبوراهه‌ له‌دایک بوو
03:00
and Avignon was born and hundreds of others
57
164104
2657
وه‌ (ئه‌ڤیگنون) و سه‌دانی تر له‌دایک بوون
03:02
would follow in their wake.
58
166761
1901
که‌ داوای گه‌شاندنه‌وه‌ی ئه‌وان که‌وتن
03:04
The work they did was very, very high art,
59
168662
3252
ئه‌و کاره‌ی ئه‌وان کردیان زۆر هونه‌ری بوو
03:07
and stars came along like Laurie Anderson
60
171914
2604
ئه‌ستێره‌کان ده‌هاتن وه‌ک لاوی ئه‌ندرسۆن
03:10
and Merce Cunningham and Robert Lepage
61
174518
2275
مێرس کونینگهام و ڕۆبێرت لێپه‌یج
03:12
who made work for this circuit,
62
176793
1420
که‌ له‌خۆڵی خۆیدا کاری ده‌کرد
03:14
and you had these seminal shows like "The Mahabharata"
63
178213
2771
تۆ ئه‌م جۆره‌ کۆبونه‌وانه‌ت هه‌بوو وه‌ک، ماهابهاراتا
03:16
and the monumental "Einstein on the Beach."
64
180984
2985
وه‌، ئینشتاین له‌سه‌ر قه‌راخ ده‌ریای گه‌وره‌ت هه‌بوو
03:19
But as the decades passed,
65
183969
2495
به‌ڵام، کاتێک سه‌رده‌مه‌کان ده‌ڕۆشتن
03:22
these festivals, they really became the establishment,
66
186464
3201
ئه‌م ڤیستیڤاڵانه‌، به‌ڕاستی بوون به‌ دامه‌زره‌وه‌یه‌ک
03:25
and as the culture and capital accelerated,
67
189665
3393
وە کاتێك کلتوری و پایته‌خت فراوان بوو
03:28
the Internet brought us all together,
68
193058
2001
ئینته‌رنێت هه‌موومانی کۆکرده‌وه‌
03:30
high and low kind of disappeared,
69
195059
2932
ئاست به‌رز و نزم به‌جۆرێک وون بوو
03:33
a new kind of festival emerged.
70
197991
1622
جۆرێکی تازه‌ی ڤیستیڤاڵی ده‌رکه‌وت
03:35
The old festivals, they continued to thrive, but
71
199613
3139
ڤیستیڤاڵه‌ کۆنه‌کان، به‌رده‌وام بوون له‌ ده‌رچون، به‌ڵام
03:38
from Brighton to Rio to Perth, something new was emerging,
72
202752
4348
له‌ بریکتۆن بۆ ڕیۆ بۆپێرث، شتێکی تازه‌ ده‌رکه‌وت
03:43
and these festivals were really different.
73
207100
2944
ئه‌م ڤیستیڤاڵانه‌ به‌ڕاستی جیاواز بوون
03:45
They're open, these festivals, because, like in Minto,
74
210044
2895
ئه‌م ڤیستیڤاڵانه‌ کراوه‌بوون چونکه‌، وه‌ک له‌ مینتۆ
03:48
they understand that the dialogue
75
212939
2216
ئه‌وان تێده‌گه‌شتن که‌ گفتوگۆکردن
03:51
between the local and the global is essential.
76
215155
3718
له‌نێوان خۆجێیه‌کان و ده‌ره‌وه‌ گرنگه‌
03:54
They're open because they ask the audience to be a player,
77
218873
4503
ئه‌وان کراوه‌ن چونکه‌ ئه‌وان داوا له‌بینه‌ران ده‌که‌ن تا ببنه‌ یاریکه‌رێک
03:59
a protagonist, a partner, rather than a passive spectator,
78
223376
4410
ئه‌کته‌ری سه‌ره‌کی، هاوڕێیه‌ک، له‌جیاتی بینه‌رێکی نادیار
04:03
and they're open because they know that imagination
79
227786
3579
وه‌ ئه‌وان کراوه‌ن چونکه‌ ده‌زانن خەیاڵ
04:07
cannot be contained in buildings,
80
231365
2159
ناتوانێت بیناکان له‌خۆی بگرێت
04:09
and so much of the work they do
81
233524
1853
زۆرێک له‌و کارانه‌ی ئه‌وان ده‌یکه‌ن
04:11
is site-specific or outdoor work.
82
235377
3300
شوێنی تایبه‌تیان کاری ده‌ره‌وه‌یه‌
04:14
So, the new festival, it asks the audience to play
83
238677
3388
که‌واته‌، ڤیستیڤاڵه‌ تازه‌که‌، داوا له‌بینه‌ران ده‌کات که‌
04:17
an essential role in shaping the performance.
84
242065
3118
ده‌ورێکی گرنگیان له‌ بینه‌ره‌که‌دا هه‌بێت
04:21
Companies like De La Guarda, which I produce, and Punchdrunk
85
245183
5096
کۆمپانیاکانی وه‌ک، (دێ لاگواردا)، که‌ من به‌رهه‌می دێنم
04:26
create these completely immersive experiences
86
250279
2814
ئه‌م جۆره‌ دۆخانه‌ دروست ده‌کات
04:28
that put the audience at the center of the action,
87
253093
3195
که‌ بینه‌ران ده‌خاته‌ ناو سه‌نته‌ری جوڵه‌کردنه‌وه‌
04:32
but the German performance company Rimini Protokoll
88
256288
3102
به‌ڵام، کۆمپانیای (ڕیمی پڕۆتۆکۆڵ)ی ئه‌ڵمانی بۆ نواندن
04:35
takes this all to a whole new level.
89
259390
3287
ئه‌مانه‌ هه‌موو ده‌باته‌ ئاستێکی تازه‌
04:38
In a series of shows that includes "100 Percent Vancouver,"
90
262677
3782
له‌زنجیره‌یه‌ک به‌رنامه‌دا که‌ "%100 ڤانگۆڤه‌ر
04:42
"100 Percent Berlin," Rimini Protokoll makes shows
91
266459
3997
لە (%١٠) به‌رلین، ده‌گرێته‌وه‌، ڕیمی پڕۆتۆکۆڵ به‌رنامه‌کان
04:46
that actually reflect society.
92
270456
2833
به‌شێوه‌یه‌ک ده‌کات که‌ به‌ڕاستی کاردانه‌وه‌ی له‌سه‌ر کۆمه‌ڵگه‌ هه‌بێت
04:49
Rimini Protokoll chooses 100 people that represent that city
93
273289
4537
ڕیمی پڕۆتۆکۆڵ (١٠٠) که‌س هه‌ڵده‌بژێرێت که‌ نوێنه‌رایه‌تی ئه‌و شاره‌ ده‌که‌ن
04:53
at that moment in terms of race and gender and class,
94
277826
3411
له‌وکاته‌دا به‌ پێی ڕه‌گه‌ز و ئاست
04:57
through a careful process that begins three months before,
95
281237
3274
له‌ڕێی پڕۆسه‌یه‌کی هۆشیارانه‌وه‌ که‌ سێمانگ پێش ئه‌وه‌ی ده‌ست پێ بکات
05:00
and then those 100 people share stories about
96
284511
3227
وە دوای ئه‌وه‌ (١٠٠) که‌سه‌که‌ چیرۆکی
05:03
themselves and their lives, and the whole thing
97
287738
2536
خۆیان و ژیانیان ده‌گێڕنه‌وه‌ و هه‌موو شته‌که‌
05:06
becomes a snapshot of that city at that moment.
98
290274
4622
ده‌بێت به‌ وێنه‌یه‌کی ئه‌وکاته‌ی ئه‌و شاره‌

LIFT has always been a pioneer in the use of venues.

به‌رزکه‌ره‌وه‌ هه‌میشه‌ پێشه‌نگه‌ له‌ به‌کارهێناندا له‌ شوێنی به‌کارهێناندا

05:30
Artists can take us to a far-flung part of the city
106

هونه‌رمه‌نده‌کان ده‌توانن ئێمه‌ ببه‌ن بۆ دوورترین شوێنی شاره‌که‌

at rush hour.
114
342813

له‌کاتی قه‌ره‌باڵه‌غیدا
06:00
We, the audience, were given headsets and seated

06:02

116
346943

له‌لایه‌کی تێرمیناڵه‌که‌وه‌
06:05
The actors were right there in front of us,
117
349727

06:07
right there among the commuters,
118
351719
2410
له‌وێدا له‌ناو خه‌ڵکه‌ به‌ژداربوه‌که‌دا
06:10
and we could hear them,
119
354129
1560
وه‌ ئێمه‌ ده‌مان توانی گوێمان لێیان بێت
06:11
but we might not have otherwise seen them.
120
355689
3095
به‌ڵام، له‌وانه‌یه‌ نه‌مان توانیایه‌ بیان بینین
06:14
So Back to Back takes site-specific theater and uses it

358784
4518
له‌به‌رئه‌وه‌، (گه‌ڕانه‌وه‌ بۆ ڕابردوو)لایه‌کی تایبه‌تی شانۆکه‌ی بردوو به‌کاری ده‌هێنا

For a few days, they transformed a massive city

بۆ چه‌ند ڕؤژێک، ئه‌وان گه‌وره‌ترین شار ده‌گۆڕن
07:07
into a community where endless possibility reigned.
136
411183
4903
بۆ کۆمه‌ڵگه‌یه‌ک که‌ ده‌سەڵاتی بێکۆتایه‌
07:11
The Guardian wrote, "If art is about transformation,
137
416086
3591
گاردیان نوسی ئه‌گه‌ر هونه‌ر له‌باره‌ی گۆڕان کارییه‌وه‌

then there can be no more transformative experience.
138
419677

که‌واته‌ هیچ دۆخێکی گۆڕانکاری نابێت

What 'The Sultan's Elephant' represents is no less

ئه‌وه‌ی " فیله‌که‌ی سوڵتان" باسی ده‌کات هیچی که‌مترنییه‌

and a reclamation of the streets for the people."

وه‌ گه‌ڕانه‌وه‌ی شه‌قامه‌کان بۆ خه‌ڵکه‌که‌ی
07:31
We can talk about the economic impacts of these festivals

435290
3460
ده‌توانین باسی کاریگه‌ری ئابوریانه‌ی ئه‌م ڤیستیڤاڵانه‌ بکه‌ین
07:34
on their cities, but I'm much [more] interested in many more things,
143
438750
4306
له‌سه‌ر شاره‌کان، به‌ڵام من زیاتر گرنگی ده‌ده‌م به‌ به‌شی زیاتر
07:38
like how a festival helps a city to express itself,
144
443056
3765
وه‌ک چۆن ڤیستڤاڵێک یارمه‌تی شارێک ده‌دات خۆی ده‌ربخات
07:42
how it lets it come into its own.
145
446821
3271
چۆن ڕێگه‌ی ده‌دات بچنه‌ ناوخۆیه‌وه‌
07:45
Festivals promote diversity,
146
450092
2125
ڤیستیڤاڵه‌کان جیاوازی فه‌راهه‌م ده‌کات
07:48
they bring neighbors into dialogue,
147
452217
1986
دراوسێکان ده‌هێنێته‌ گفتوگۆکردن
07:50
they increase creativity,
148
454203
2445
داهێنان زیاد ده‌کات
07:52
they offer opportunities for civic pride,
149
456648
3172
هه‌لی باش ده‌ڕه‌خسێنێت بۆ شانازی شارستانی
07:55
they improve our general psychological well-being.
150
459820
3659
به‌گشتی لایه‌نی ده‌رونیمان گه‌شه‌ پێده‌دات
07:59
In short, they make cities better places to live.
151
463479
4208
به‌کورتی، شاره‌کان ده‌که‌ن به‌ باشترین شوێن بۆ ژیان
08:03
Case in point:

مه‌به‌سته‌که‌
08:04
When "The Sultan's Elephant" came to London
153

just nine months after 7/7, a Londoner wrote,
154
472009
4356
ته‌نها دوای نۆ مانگ داوی ٧/٧ (له‌ندۆنه‌ر) نوسی
08:12
"For the first time since the London bombings,

to watch 'The Sultan's Elephant,' and, you know,
158

3188
بۆ ته‌ماشاکردنی "فیله‌که‌ی سوڵتان" و، ده‌زانی

it just made all the difference."
159
488538
2683
ته‌نها هه‌موو شته‌کانی جیاوازکرد

Lyn Gardner in The Guardian has written

لین گاردنه‌ر له‌ گاردیان نوسیویه‌تی
08:29
that a great festival can show us a map of the world,
161
493371
4463
که‌ ڤیستیڤاڵێکی مه‌زن ده‌توانێت نه‌خشه‌ی جیهانمان نیشان بدات

a map of the city and a map of ourselves,
162
497834
4048

but there is no one fixed festival model.
163
501882

به‌ڵام، هیچ که‌س نیه‌ شێوازی ڤیستیڤاڵ چاک بکات
08:40
I think what's so brilliant about the festivals,
164
505088
2836
وابزانم، ئه‌وه‌ی که‌ زۆر زیره‌کانه‌یه‌ له‌باره‌ی ڤیستیڤاڵه‌کان
