<\/p>\n

Premiere February 22, 2003 \/ 53 min. 40 sec.<\/p>\n

Prole Is Not a Bad Word is a portrait of the sculptor and painter, simultaneous chess player and aficionado, enfant terrible and state artist, vocationally trained dental technician and academically educated art professor, and self-professed Euro-Stalinist Alfred Hrdlicka, a self-deprecating Austrian patriot of international fame. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The program\u2019s title is a quote from the artist. The portrait was made to honor his 75th<\/sup> birthday in 2003.<\/p>\n

This feature lives above all on words from Alfred Hrdlicka\u2019s own mouth. There is no commentary in the form of an explanatory voiceover. Only the music makes a comment: musical quotations from Brecht\u2019s plays Threepenny Opera <\/em>and Mahagonny<\/em>, workers\u2019 songs, Red Songs,<\/em> and right-wing hymns create connections or transitions and counterpoints.<\/p>\n

The third sound element in the feature are original historical recordings, for example, a speech by Engelbert Dollfuss during the revolution of February, 1934; a campaign speech by the Socialist Adelheid Popp in 1930; the national anthem of the Austrian corporative state (\u201c\u2026 a dead man leads us on \u2026\u201d).<\/p>\n

Not all stages of his life are presented in detail. The emphasis is on the connection between politics and art that above all distinguishes Alfred Hrdlicka.<\/p>\n
