NgoMeyi 2014, abalandeli bemincintiswano yamazwi ngamazwe "I-Eurovision" babelindele ngokulangazela ukubukeka esiteji esikhulu somlingiswa odlula kakhulu futhi owonakalisayo - umculi waseAustria uConchit Wurst. Esikhathini eside ngaphambi komncintiswano womculo, isithombe sikaConchita Wurst sachazwa yizincwadi eziningi zokuphrinta, izingosi ze-intanethi kanye nethelevishini. Ngesikhathi umculi wezwi ebonakala esiteji, izilaleli zazishaqeka, futhi ababukeli bebengakwazi ukubuka amehlo esikhwameni se-TV, bazibuza ukuthi ubani owayephambi kwabo engumfana noma intombazane. Uma le ntombazane (futhi lokhu kuboniswe yizinwele ezinde zokunethezeka, ukugqoka kwendlovu yokugqoka kanye nokumisa okukhanyayo), kungani-ke ngesilevu? Futhi uma lo mfana, yiziphi izici, ngaphandle, empeleni, izintshevu, lokhu kubonisa? Khona-ke izingoma zokuqala zomculo zazwakala futhi izethameli zafakwa ngengoma. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlambalaza kwamazwe ngamazwe kwakungaqala ukuzuza. Ngemuva kwenkulumo, i-Inthanethi igcwele izithombe zeConchita, intshebe yakhe, njengokungathi ihanjiswe ku-Photoshop, ukuphawula okuthukuthele kubasebenzisi nokubonga izimpendulo zabaphikisi babo. Ngubani uConchita Wurst ekuphileni kwansuku zonke? Kungani wakhetha isithombe esinjalo?
Isithombe sangempela noma indlela yokuphila?
Njengoba ubonile uKonchit Wurst ngaphandle kokwenza izimonyo, awusoze uqagele ukuthi lo mfana omnandi nguKonchita. I-Conchita engafakiwe, ngaphandle kwezintshe kanye nokwenziwe, iyindoda enhle ezalwa ngo-1988, ogama layo lingu-Austrian noyise ngu-Armenia. Igama lakhe nguThomas Neuwirth. Umqashi ozayo we-"Eurovision" oqashwe ngokuzayo waqala isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokubonakala kokuqala esiteshini ngendlela ye-travesty-diva. Ebusheni bakhe, uTomas nabangane bakhe badala iqembu ledwala. Ithimba liye lakwazi ukuthandwa kakhulu e-Austria, kodwa ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa laphela. Ngemuva kokuzama kokuqala, uTomas, wanquma ukuqonda umsebenzi we-stylist, hhayi umculi, eseqedile esikoleni semfashini. Ngonyaka ka-2006, lo mfana wanquma ukuhlanganyela ekuqhumeni, lapho amalungu ejaji abanolwazi akhetha abadlali abasha abanekhono lokubamba iqhaza emncintiswaneni womculo. UTomas wabhekana nalo msebenzi, ethatha indawo yesibili emncintiswaneni. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, yena, waphefumulelwa yimpumelelo, waphinde wadala ithimba lomculo uJetzt anders!, Elihlanganisa nabafana abane. Futhi umlando uphinde uziphindiselele: izinyanga ezimbalwa zomsebenzi, ukuthandwa okungalindelekile, ukuhlakazeka kweqembu. Kodwa lesi sikhathi kwakuyisimangaliso sikaThomas Neuwirth - wavuma emhlabeni wonke ukuthi uyongqingili.
Isithombe sangempela sikaConchita Thomas sazama ngo-2011 ngenkathi kulandela ukubonisa okukhulu i-Big Chance. Izilaleli, ezabona intombazane enezinyosi esiteji, zaphendula ngendlela engafanele. Kodwa qaphela ukuthi u-travesty-diva wakhe uyakhanga. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, uTomas uye walahleka ubulili kanye negama lakhe langempela. Uzibheka intombazane eyayingenelungelo lokuzalwa emzimbeni ofanayo. Izazi zengqondo ziqinisekile ukuthi izinguquko ezinjalo ziwumphumela wokuhlangenwe nakho kwentsha yensizwa. Iqiniso liwukuthi esikoleni akazange akhangele ukunakwa, wayengenabo abangane bangempela, bamhleka usulu. Futhi lapho uTomas eqaphela ukuthi ukuma kwakhe kwakungavumelani nalokho, isimo sasilokhu siphuthumayo. Namuhla iConchita Wurst iqinisekisa wonke umuntu ukuthi umfanekiso wakhe uyinselele kulabo abangafundile ukubekezela , ukuqonda abantu abacabanga nokuphila ngendlela ehlukile.
Ukusabela komphakathi
Ukubukeka esiteji somhlaba womculi wezinyosi ngezwi elihle lomculo akuzange kudlule ngaphandle kokulandelela. Uma iningi labantu basekhaya lisekelwa kuConchit, khona-ke eRussia i-travesty-diva yabangela isiphepho sentukuthelo. Abamele iSonto Lama-Orthodox YaseRussia bamemezela ukuthi abakwazi ukwamukela isikhundla seYurophu, esivuma ukuphindukuzalwa okunjalo. Kuyinto emangalisayo ukuthi noVerka Serduchka, no Sergei Zverev, noBoris Moiseyev abangeke basabela ngaleyo ndlela, nakuba babesebenzisa izimonyo, izicathulo nezingubo ezigqoke izingubo zesifazane. Mhlawumbe konke kuyizintshevu?
