ovaj prizor
00:29
all remind me of the campfires of my childhood,
3
13693
3528
sve me podseća na logorske
vatre mog detinjstva,
vatre mog detinjstva,
00:33
when anyone could become a storyteller in front of the dancing flames.

kad je svako mogao postati pripovedač
ispred plamena koji pleše.
ispred plamena koji pleše.
00:40
There was this wondrous ending
5
24617
2923
Postojao je čudesan kraj
00:43
when people and fire fell asleep almost in unison.
6
27540
4566
kada bi i ljudi i vatra zaspali
gotovo u istom trenutku.
gotovo u istom trenutku.
00:48
It was dreaming time.
7
32106
3981
Bilo je to vreme snova.
00:51
Now my story has a lot to do with dreaming,
8
36087
3337
Moja priča ima mnogo
veze sa snovima,
veze sa snovima,
00:55
although I'm known to make my dreams come true.
9
39424
3710
iako sam poznat po tome
što svoje snove ostvarujem.
što svoje snove ostvarujem.
00:59
Last year, I created a one-man show.
10
43134
3291
Prošle godine,
napravio sam svoju predstavu.
napravio sam svoju predstavu.
01:02
For an hour and a half I shared with the audience
11
46425
4233
Sat i po delio sam
sa publikom
sa publikom
01:06
a lifetime of creativity,
12
50658
2667
svoj kreativni životni vek,
01:09
how I pursue perfection, how I cheat the impossible.
13
53325
4434
kako sam tražio savršenstvo,
kako sam prevario nemoguće.
kako sam prevario nemoguće.
01:13
And then TED challenged me:
14
57759
2349
I onda mi je TED postavio izazov:
01:16
"Philippe, can you shrink this lifetime to 18 minutes?"
15
60108
3165
"Filipe, možeš li da smanjiš to
na 18 minuta?"
na 18 minuta?"
01:19
(Laughter)
16
63273
1390
(Smeh)
01:20
Eighteen minutes, clearly impossible.
17
64663
3527
Osamnaest minuta,
jasno da je nemoguće.
jasno da je nemoguće.
01:24
But here I am.
18
68190
2263
Ali, evo me ovde.
01:26
One solution was to rehearse a machine gun delivery
19
70453
2362
Jedno od rešenja bilo je
da probam "mitraljesko" izlaganje
da probam "mitraljesko" izlaganje
01:28
in which every syllable, every second will have its importance
20
72815
2201
gde bi svaki glas, svaki sekund,
imao svoju važnost,
imao svoju važnost,
01:30
and hope to God the audience will be able to follow me.
21
75016
1765
i da molim boga da će publika
biti u stanju da me prati.
biti u stanju da me prati.
01:32
No, no, no.
22
76781
1418
Ne, ne, ne.
01:34
No, the best way for me to start
23
78199
2881
Ne, najbolji način da počnem
01:36
is to pay my respects to the gods of creativity.
24
81080
3669
je da odam poštovanje
bogovima kreativnosti.
bogovima kreativnosti.
01:40
So please join me for a minute of silence.
25
84749
3317
Molim vas pridružite mi se
u minuti ćutanja.
u minuti ćutanja.
02:01
Okay, I cheated, it was a mere 20 seconds.
26
106026
2160
Okej, varao sam,
prošlo je samo 20 sekundi.
prošlo je samo 20 sekundi.
02:04
But hey, we're on TED time.
27
108186
2703
Ali hej, imamo TED vreme.
02:06
When I was six years old,
28
110904
2057
Kada sam imao šest godina,
02:08
I fell in love with magic.
29
112961
2798
zaljubio sam se u magiju.
02:11
For Christmas I got a magic box
30
115759
2419
Za Božić sam dobio
magičnu kutiju
magičnu kutiju
02:14
and a very old book on card manipulation.
31
118178
4455
i veoma staru knjigu
o manipulaciji kartama.
o manipulaciji kartama.
02:18
Somehow I was more interested in pure manipulation
32
122633
3153
Nekako sam više bio zainteresovan
za čistu manipulaciju
za čistu manipulaciju
02:21
than in all the silly little tricks in the box.
33
125786
4233
nego za blesave male
trikove u kutiji.
trikove u kutiji.
02:25
So I looked in the book for the most difficult move,
34
130019
3266
Potražio sam u knjizi
najteži potez,
najteži potez,
02:29
and it was this.
35
133285
3622
i bio je to ovaj.
02:32
Now I'm not supposed to share that with you,
36
136907
1893
Sad, ne bi trebalo
da delim to s vama,
da delim to s vama,
02:34
but I have to show you the card is hidden in the back of the hand.
37
138800
5297
ali moram vam pokazati
da je karta skrivena iza ruke.
da je karta skrivena iza ruke.
02:39
Now that manipulation
38
144097
2503
Ova manipulacija
02:42
was broken down into seven moves
39
146600
3460
je bila rastavljena
na sedam pokreta,
na sedam pokreta,
02:45
described over seven pages.
40
150060
3114
opisanih na preko
sedam strana.
sedam strana.
02:49
One, two, three,
41
153174
2595
Jedan, dva, tri,
02:51
four, five, six and seven.
42
155769
3614
četiri, pet, šest
i sedam.
i sedam.
02:55
And let me show you something else.
43
159383
1601
I da vam pokažem
još nešto.
još nešto.
02:56
The cards were bigger than my hands.
44
160984
10449
Karte su bile veće
od mojih šaka.
od mojih šaka.
03:07
Two months later, six years old,
45
171433
2603
Dva meseca kasnije,
sa šest godina,
sa šest godina,
03:09
I'm able to do one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
46
174036
3259
mogao sam da uradim jedan, dva,
tri, četiri, pet, šest, sedam.
tri, četiri, pet, šest, sedam.
03:13
And I go to see a famous magician
47
177295
2140
I otišao sam da vidim
poznatog mađioničara
poznatog mađioničara
03:15
and proudly ask him, "Well what do you think?"
48
179435
2726
i ponosno ga pitao:
"Pa šta misliš?"
"Pa šta misliš?"
03:18
Six years old.
49
182161
1340
Šestogodišnjak.
03:19
The magician looked at me and said, "This is a disaster.
50
183501
3382
Mađioničar me pogledao i rekao:
"To je katastrofa.
"To je katastrofa.
03:22
You cannot do that in two seconds
51
186883
2886
Ne možeš to raditi
dve sekunde
dve sekunde
03:25
and have a minuscule part of the card showing.
52
189769
3465
i najmanji deo karte
ne sme da se vidi.
ne sme da se vidi.
03:29
For the move to be professional, it has to be less than one second
53
193234
5484
Da bi potez bio profesionalan,
mora biti kraći od jedne sekunde
mora biti kraći od jedne sekunde
03:34
and it has to be perfect."
54
198718
4122
i mora biti savršen."
03:38
Two years later, one -- zoop.
55
202840
4613
Dve godine kasnije,
jedan - hop.
jedan - hop.
03:43
And I'm not cheating. It's in the back. It's perfect.
56
207453
7817
I ne varam. Iza je.
Savršeno je.
Savršeno je.
03:51
Passion is the motto
57
215270
6369
Strast je moto
03:57
of all my actions.
58
221639
2177
svih mojih dela.
03:59
As I'm studying magic,
59
223831
4210
Dok sam izučavao magiju,
04:03
juggling is mentioned repeatedly
60
228041
2617
stalno se spominjalo žongliranje,
04:06
as a great way to acquire dexterity and coordination.
61
230658
4568
kao sjajan način za sticanje
spretnosti i koordinacije.
spretnosti i koordinacije.
04:11
Now I had long admired how fast and fluidly
62
235226
4315
Dugo sam se divio tome
kako su brzo i fluidno
kako su brzo i fluidno
04:15
jugglers make objects fly.
63
239541
2234
žongleri bacali predmete.
04:17
So that's it. I'm 14; I'm becoming a juggler.
64
241775
3928
I to je to. Imam 14 godina;
postajem žongler.
postajem žongler.
04:21
I befriend a young juggler in a juggling troupe,
65
245703
3788
Sprijateljio sam se sa mladim žonglerom
u žonglerskoj trupi,
u žonglerskoj trupi,
04:25
and he agrees to sell me three clubs.
66
249491
4451
i pristao je
da mi proda tri palice.
da mi proda tri palice.
04:29
But in America you have to explain. What are clubs?
67
253942
2167
Ali u Americi moram da objasnim.
Šta su palice?
Šta su palice?
04:32
Nothing to do with golf.
68
256109
1516
Nema veze sa golfom.
04:33
They are those beautiful oblong objects,
69
257625
4534
To su ovi lepi obli predmeti,
04:38
but quite difficult to make.
70
262159
1600
ali prilično ih je teško napraviti.
04:39
They have to be precisely lathed.
71
263759
1866
Moraju se precizno izbrusiti.
04:41
Oh, when I was buying the clubs,
72
265625
2168
Kada sam kupovao palice,
04:43
somehow the young juggler was hiding from the others.
73
267793
3149
mladi žongler se nekako
krio od ostalih.
krio od ostalih.
04:46
Well I didn't think much of it at the time.
74
270942
2350
Nisam tada mnogo
razmišljao o tome.
razmišljao o tome.
04:49
Anyway, here I was progressing with my new clubs.
75
273292
3966
Bilo kako bilo, napredovao sam
sa svojim novim palicama.
sa svojim novim palicama.
04:53
But I could not understand.
76
277258
2336
Ali nisam mogao
da razumem.
da razumem.
04:55
I was pretty fast, but I was not fluid at all.
77
279594
3766
Bio sam prilično brz,
ali nisam bio nimalo fluidan.
ali nisam bio nimalo fluidan.
04:59
The clubs were escaping me at each throw.
78
283360
3182
Palice su bežale od mene
pri svakom bacanju.
pri svakom bacanju.
05:02
And I was trying constantly to bring them back to me.
79
286542
3017
Konstantno sam se trudio
da ih vratim sebi.
da ih vratim sebi.
05:05
Until one day I practiced in front of Francis Brunn,
80
289559
4133
Sve do jednog dana,
kada sam vežbao pred Fransisom Brunom,
kada sam vežbao pred Fransisom Brunom,
05:09
the world's greatest juggler.
81
293692
2168
najboljim svetskim žonglerom.
05:11
And he was frowning.
82
295860
1515
On se namrštio.
05:13
And he finally asked, "Can I see those?"
83
297375
2417
I konačno je pitao:
"Mogu li da ih vidim?"
"Mogu li da ih vidim?"
05:15
So I proudly showed him my clubs.
84
299792
2366
Ponosno sam mu pokazao
svoje palice.
svoje palice.
05:18
He said, "Philippe, you have been had.
85
302158
2417
Rekao je:
"Filipe, ti si prevaren.
"Filipe, ti si prevaren.
05:20
These are rejects. They are completely out of alignment.
86
304575
3401
Ovo je škart.
Potpuno su izvan poravnanja.
Potpuno su izvan poravnanja.
05:23
They are impossible to juggle."
87
307976
5151
Sa ovim je nemoguće žonglirati."
05:29
Tenacity is how I kept at it
88
313127
6365
Istrajnost je razlog
što sam se zadržao na tome
što sam se zadržao na tome
05:35
against all odds.
89
319492
1882
uprkos lošim šansama.
05:37
So I went to the circus to see more magicians, more jugglers,
90
321374
3552
I tako sam otišao u cirkus da vidim
više mađioničara, više žonglera,
više mađioničara, više žonglera,
05:40
and I saw -- oh no, no, no, I didn't see.
91
324926
2482
I video sam - oh ne, ne, ne, nisam video.
05:43
It was more interesting; I heard.
92
327408
1918
Bilo je zanimljivije; čuo sam.
05:45
I heard about those amazing men and women
93
329326
2367
Čuo sam o neverovatnim
muškarcima i ženama
muškarcima i ženama
05:47
who walk on thin air --
94
331693
2685
koji hodaju po vazduhu -
05:50
the high-wire walkers.
95
334378
2856
hodači po žicama.
05:53
Now I have been playing with ropes and climbing all my childhood,
96
337234
3662
Igrao sam se užadima i penjao
tokom celog detinjstva, to je to.
tokom celog detinjstva, to je to.
05:56
so that's it. I'm 16; I'm becoming a wire walker.
97
340896
4723
Imam 16 godina,
postajem hodač po žici.
postajem hodač po žici.
06:01
I found two trees --
98
345619
4473
Našao sam dva stabla -
06:05
but not any kind of trees,
99
350092
2186
ali ne bilo kakva stabla,
06:08
trees with character --
100
352278
2469
stabla sa karakterom -
06:10
and then a very long rope.
101
354747
1749
a zatim veoma dugo uže.
06:12
And I put the rope around and around
102
356496
1785
Razapinjao sam uže
tamo - ovamo,
tamo - ovamo,
06:14
and around and around and around till I had no more rope.
103
358281
2465
tamo - ovamo, tamo - ovamo,
dok nisam imao više užeta.
dok nisam imao više užeta.
06:16
Now I have all of those ropes parallel like this.
104
360746
2517
Sada imam svu tu užad
ovako paralelno.
ovako paralelno.
06:19
I get a pair of pliers and some coat hangers,
105
363263
2520
Uzeo sam klešta i neke vešalice,
06:21
and I gather them together in some kind of ropey path.
106
365783
5432
i skupio sam užad
u neku vrstu staze od užadi.
u neku vrstu staze od užadi.
06:27
So I just created the widest tightrope in the world.
107
371215
3618
Tako da sam stvorio
najšire uže na svetu.
najšire uže na svetu.
06:30
What did I need? I needed the widest shoes in the world.
108
374833
3478
Šta mi je bilo potrebno?
Najšire cipele na svetu.
Najšire cipele na svetu.
06:34
So I found some enormous, ridiculous, giant ski boots
109
378311
3839
Pa sam pronašao ogromne,
smešne, džinovske ski - čizme
smešne, džinovske ski - čizme
06:38
and then wobbly, wobbly I get on the ropes.
110
382150
3183
i onda, klim - klim,
stao sam na užad.
stao sam na užad.
06:41
Well within a few days I'm able to do one crossing.
111
385333
4011
Za nekoliko dana bio sam u stanju
da pređem užad.
da pređem užad.
06:45
So I cut one rope off.
112
389344
2043
Pa sam odsekao jedno uže.
06:47
And the next day one rope off.
113
391387
1745
I sledećeg dana još jedno.
06:49
And a few days later, I was practicing on a single tightrope.
114
393132
4799
Posle par dana,
vežbao sam na jednom užetu.
vežbao sam na jednom užetu.
06:53
Now you can imagine at that time
115
397931
1800
Već pogađate, u to vreme
06:55
I had to switch the ridiculous boots for some slippers.
116
399731
4434
morao sam zameniti smešne čizme
nekim papučama.
nekim papučama.
07:00
So that is how -- in case there are people here in the audience who would like to try --
117
404165
4967
Tako se - u slučaju da ovde u publici
ima ljudi koji bi hteli da pokušaju -
ima ljudi koji bi hteli da pokušaju -
07:05
this is how not to learn wire walking.
118
409132
3470
tako se ne uči
hodanje po žici.
hodanje po žici.
07:08
(Laughter)
119
412602
1514
(Smeh)
07:10
Intuition is a tool essential in my life.
120
414116
8532
Intuicija je esencijalno
oruđe u mom životu.
oruđe u mom životu.
07:18
In the meantime, I am being thrown out of five different schools
121
422648
4618
U međuvremenu, izbačen sam
iz pet različitih škola
iz pet različitih škola
07:23
because instead of listening to the teachers,
122
427266
1668
jer umesto da sam
slušao profesore,
slušao profesore,
07:24
I am my own teacher, progressing in my new art
123
428934
4031
bio sam sam svoj učitelj,
napredovao u svojoj novoj umetnosti
napredovao u svojoj novoj umetnosti
07:28
and becoming a street juggler.
124
432965
3134
i postajao ulični žongler.
07:31
On the high wire, within months,
125
436099
2651
Na visokoj žici,
kroz nekoliko meseci,
kroz nekoliko meseci,
07:34
I'm able to master all the tricks they do in the circus,
126
438750
2682
usavršio sam sve trikove
koji se izvode u cirkusu,
koji se izvode u cirkusu,
07:37
except I am not satisfied.
127
441432
2583
samo što nisam
bio zadovoljan.
bio zadovoljan.
07:39
I was starting to invent my own moves and bring them to perfection.
128
444015
8261
Počeo sam da izmišljam svoje poteze
i da ih usavršavam.
i da ih usavršavam.
07:48
But nobody wanted to hire me.
129
452276
2704
Ali niko nije hteo
da me zaposli.
da me zaposli.
07:50
So I started putting a wire up in secret and performing without permission.
130
454980
5419
Pa sam počeo tajno da postavljam žicu
i da nastupam bez dozvole.
i da nastupam bez dozvole.
07:56
Notre Dame,
131
460399
3886
Notr Dam,
08:00
the Sydney Harbor Bridge,
132
464285
4038
most u sidnejskoj luci,
08:04
the World Trade Center.
133
468323
3094
svetski trgovinski centar,
08:07
And I developed a certitude, a faith
134
471417
2273
I razvio sam sigurnost,
veru,
veru,
08:09
that convinced me that I will get safely to the other side.
135
473690
3560
koja me ubeđuje da ću
sigurno stići na drugu stranu.
sigurno stići na drugu stranu.
08:13
If not, I will never do that first step.
136
477250
2752
Ako nije tako, nikad neću
napraviti taj prvi korak.
napraviti taj prvi korak.
08:15
Well nonetheless,
137
480002
2199
Pa ipak,
08:18
on the top of the World Trade Center
138
482201
3013
na vrhu svetskog
trgovinskog centra
trgovinskog centra
08:21
my first step was terrifying.
139
485214
7897
moj prvi korak je bio
zastrašujući.
zastrašujući.
08:29
All of a sudden the density of the air is no longer the same.
140
493111
4273
Odjednom gustina vazduha
više nije bila ista.
više nije bila ista.
08:33
Manhattan no longer spreads its infinity.
141
497384
2836
Menhetn se više nije
širio u svojoj beskonačnosti.
širio u svojoj beskonačnosti.
08:36
The murmur of the city dissolves into a squall
142
500220
3280
Žamor grada se rastvorio
u udaru vetra
u udaru vetra
08:39
whose chilling power I no longer feel.
143
503500
3733
čiju rashladnu snagu
više nisam mogao osetiti.
više nisam mogao osetiti.
08:43
I lift the balancing pole. I approach the edge.
144
507233
2866
Podigao sam motku za balansiranje.
Prišao sam ivici.
Prišao sam ivici.
08:45
I step over the beam.
145
510099
1732
Zakoračio sam preko grede.
08:47
I put my left foot on the cable,
146
511831
3383
Stavio sam levo stopalo
na žicu,
na žicu,
08:51
the weight of my body raised on my right leg
147
515229
3369
težina mog tela
bila je na mojoj desnoj nozi
bila je na mojoj desnoj nozi
08:54
anchored to the flank of the building.
148
518598
3280
usidrena na boku zgrade.
08:57
Shall I ever so slightly shift my weight to the left?
149
521878
3819
Hoću li veoma glatko
prebaciti težinu nalevo?
prebaciti težinu nalevo?
09:01
My right leg will be unburdened,
150
525697
2517
Moja desna noga
će biti rasterećena,
će biti rasterećena,
09:04
my right foot will freely meet the wire.
151
528214
3503
desno stopalo će se slobodno
susresti sa žicom.
susresti sa žicom.
09:07
On one side, a mass of a mountain, a life I know.
152
531717
4572
Na jednoj strani, masa planina,
život koji poznajem.
život koji poznajem.
09:12
On the other, the universe of the clouds,
153
536289
2725
Na drugoj,
univerzum oblaka,
univerzum oblaka,
09:14
so full of unknown we think it's empty.
154
539014
3568
tako pun nepoznatog,
da mislimo da je prazan.
da mislimo da je prazan.
09:18
At my feet, the path to the north tower -- 60 yards of wire rope.
155
542582
6215
Preda mnom, put do severnog tornja -
55 metara žičanog užeta.
55 metara žičanog užeta.
09:24
It's a straight line, which sags,
156
548797
3381
To je prava linija,
koja se uleže,
koja se uleže,
09:28
which sways, which vibrates,
157
552178
3521
koja se njiše,
koja vibrira,
koja vibrira,
09:31
which rolls on itself,
158
555699
1564
koja se uvrće,
09:33
which is ice,
159
557263
1735
koja je led,
09:34
which is three tons tight, ready to explode,
160
558998
4369
koja je tri tone zategnuta,
spremna da eksplodira,
spremna da eksplodira,
09:39
ready to swallow me.
161
563367
2614
spremna da me proguta.
09:41
An inner howl assails me,
162
565981
2966
Unutrašnji krik
me oštro kritikuje,
me oštro kritikuje,
09:44
the wild longing to flee.
163
568947
3017
divlje želeći da pobegne.
09:47
But it is too late.
164
571964
2467
Ali prekasno je.
09:50
The wire is ready.
165
574431
2650
Žica je spremna.
09:52
Decisively my other foot sets itself onto the cable.
166
577081
5438
Odlučno, moje drugo stopalo
staje na žicu.
staje na žicu.
10:05
Faith is what replaces doubt
167
589718
4495
Vera je ono što
zamenjuje sumnju
zamenjuje sumnju
10:10
in my dictionary.
168
594213
2030
u mom rečniku.
10:12
So after the walk
169
596243
1226
Nakon te šetnje
10:13
people ask me, "How can you top that?"
170
597469
1844
ljudi su me pitali:
"Kako ćeš to nadmašiti?"
"Kako ćeš to nadmašiti?"
10:15
Well I didn't have that problem.
171
599313
2305
E, pa nisam imao
takav problem.
takav problem.
10:17
I was not interested in collecting the gigantic,
172
601618
2602
Nisam bio zainteresovan
za skupljanje gigantskog,
za skupljanje gigantskog,
10:20
in breaking records.
173
604220
2082
za obaranje rekorda.
10:22
In fact, I put my World Trade Center crossing
174
606302
5029
Zapravo, postavljam svoj prelazak
Svetskog trgovinskog centra
Svetskog trgovinskog centra
10:27
at the same artistic level as some of my smaller walks --
175
611331
3550
na isti umetnički nivo
sa nekim od mojih manjih prelazaka -
sa nekim od mojih manjih prelazaka -
10:30
or some completely different type of performance.
176
614881
4916
ili nekim potpuno različitim
vrstama izvedbi.
vrstama izvedbi.
10:35
Let's see, such as my street juggling, for example.
177
619797
6162
Da vidimo, na primer,
kao moje ulično žongliranje.
kao moje ulično žongliranje.
10:41
So each time
178
625959
2468
Svaki put
10:44
I draw my circle of chalk on the pavement
179
628427
3221
kada nacrtam svoj krug
kredom na trotoaru
kredom na trotoaru
10:47
and enter as the improvising comic silent character
180
631648
4843
i uđem u ovu improvizovanu,
komičnu, tihu ulogu
komičnu, tihu ulogu
10:52
I created 45 years ago,
181
636491
1925
koju sam stvorio
pre 45 godina,
pre 45 godina,
10:54
I am as happy as when I am in the clouds.
182
638416
4047
srećan sam kao i kada sam
među oblacima.
među oblacima.
10:58
But this here,
183
642463
1955
Ali ovo ovde,
11:00
this is not the street.
184
644418
2331
ovo nije ulica.
11:02
So I cannot street juggle here, you understand.
185
646749
2576
Pa razumete, ne mogu ovde
da žongliram na ulici.
da žongliram na ulici.
11:05
So you don't want me to street juggle here, right?
186
649325
2173
Pa ne želite da ovde žongliram
na ulici, zar ne?
na ulici, zar ne?
11:07
You know that, right?
187
651498
1366
Znate to, zar ne?
11:08
You don't want me to juggle, right?
188
652864
2249
Ne želite da žongliram,
zar ne?
zar ne?
11:11
(Applause)
189
655113
2293
(Aplauz)
11:19
(Music)
190
663335
5207
(Muzika)
13:11
(Applause)
191
775200
5038
(Aplauz)
13:16
Thank you. Thank you.
192
780238
2581
Hvala. Hvala.
13:30
Each time I street juggle
193
794720
2952
Svaki put kad žongliram
13:33
I use improvisation.
194
797672
7216
koristim improvizaciju.
13:44
Now improvisation is empowering
195
808765
2202
Improvizacija daje moć
13:46
because it welcomes the unknown.
196
810967
4200
jer dočekuje nepoznato.
13:51
And since what's impossible is always unknown,
197
815167
4132
A pošto je ono što je nemoguće
uvek i nepoznato,
uvek i nepoznato,
13:55
it allows me to believe I can cheat the impossible.
198
819299
7590
dozvoljava mi da verujem
da mogu prevariti nemoguće.
da mogu prevariti nemoguće.
14:02
Now I have done the impossible not once,
199
826889
2444
Učinio sam nemoguće
ne jednom,
ne jednom,
14:05
but many times.
200
829333
2185
već mnogo puta.
14:07
So what should I share? Oh, I know. Israel.
201
831518
2446
Pa šta još da podelim?
Ah, znam. Izrael.
Ah, znam. Izrael.
14:09
Some years ago I was invited to open the Israel Festival
202
833964
4671
Pre nekoliko godina pozvan sam
da otvorim Festival Izraela
da otvorim Festival Izraela
14:14
by a high-wire walk.
203
838635
1966
hodom po visokoj žici.
14:16
And I chose to put my wire
204
840601
1849
Izabrao sam da postavim
svoju žicu
svoju žicu
14:18
between the Arab quarters and the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem
205
842450
4003
između arapskih četvrti
i jevrejskih četvrti u Jerusalimu
i jevrejskih četvrti u Jerusalimu
14:22
over the Ben Hinnom Valley.
206
846453
1931
preko doline Ben Hinom.
14:24
And I thought it would be incredible
207
848384
2167
Mislio sam da će
biti neverovatno
biti neverovatno
14:26
if in the middle of the wire
208
850551
1823
ako bih na sredini žice
14:28
I stopped and, like a magician,
209
852374
1983
zastao i, poput mađioničara,
14:30
I produce a dove and send her in the sky
210
854357
3765
stvorio golubicu
i poslao je prema nebu
i poslao je prema nebu
14:34
as a living symbol of peace.
211
858122
2350
kao živi simbol mira.
14:36
Well now I must say,
212
860472
2817
Sada moram reći,
14:39
it was a little bit hard to find a dove in Israel, but I got one.
213
863289
2984
bilo je pomalo teško pronaći
golubicu u Izraelu, ali našao sam je.
golubicu u Izraelu, ali našao sam je.
14:42
And in my hotel room,
214
866273
2924
U mojoj hotelskoj sobi,
14:45
each time I practiced making it appear and throwing her in the air,
215
869197
4980
svaki put kad sam vežbao
njeno pojavljivanje i bacanje u vazduh
njeno pojavljivanje i bacanje u vazduh
14:50
she would graze the wall and end up on the bed.
216
874177
2619
ona bi okrznula zid
i pala na krevet.
i pala na krevet.
14:52
So I said, now it's okay. The room is too small.
217
876796
2765
Rekoh, u redu.
Soba je premala.
Soba je premala.
14:55
I mean, a bird needs space to fly.
218
879561
1749
Mislim, ptici je potreban
prostor za let.
prostor za let.
14:57
It will go perfectly on the day of the walk.
219
881310
2252
Biće savršeno na dan hodanja.
14:59
Now comes the day of the walk.
220
883562
3381
Došao je taj dan.
15:02
Eighty thousand people spread over the entire valley.
221
886943
3650
Osamdeset hiljada ljudi
se raširilo po celoj dolini.
se raširilo po celoj dolini.
15:06
The mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy Kollek, comes to wish me the best.
222
890593
4584
Gradonačelnik Jerusalima, Tedi Kolek,
dolazi da mi poželi sreću.
dolazi da mi poželi sreću.
15:11
But he seemed nervous.
223
895177
2885
Ali izgledao je nervozno.
15:13
There was tension in my wire,
224
898062
2249
Postojala je tenzija
u mojoj žici,
u mojoj žici,
15:16
but I also could feel tension on the ground.
225
900311
2115
ali sam takođe mogao osetiti
tenziju na tlu.
tenziju na tlu.
15:18
Because all those people
226
902426
1318
Jer sve te ljude
15:19
were made up of people who, for the most part,
227
903744
3099
čine ljudi koji uglavnom
15:22
considered each other enemies.
228
906843
2885
smatraju jedni druge
neprijateljima.
neprijateljima.
15:25
So I start the walk. Everything is fine.
229
909728
2736
I tako sam počeo šetnju.
Sve je u redu.
Sve je u redu.
15:28
I stop in the middle.
230
912464
1778
Stao sam na sredini.
15:30
I make the dove appear.
231
914242
2719
Učinio sam
da se golubica pojavi.
da se golubica pojavi.
15:32
People applaud in delight.
232
916961
1916
Ljudi su aplaudirali oduševljeno.
15:34
And then in the most magnificent gesture,
233
918877
2769
I tada sam
uz veličanstveni gest
uz veličanstveni gest
15:37
I send the bird of peace into the azure.
234
921646
3531
poslao pticu mira
u nebesko plavetnilo.
u nebesko plavetnilo.
15:41
But the bird, instead of flying away,
235
925177
1749
Ali ptica,
umesto da odleti,
umesto da odleti,
15:42
goes flop, flop, flop and lands on my head.
236
926926
3051
ide flop, flop, flop,
i sleti na moju glavu.
i sleti na moju glavu.
15:45
(Laughter)
237
929977
2084
(Smeh)
15:47
And people scream.
238
932061
1899
A ljudi vrište.
15:49
So I grab the dove,
239
933960
2618
Pa sam zgrabio golubicu,
15:52
and for the second time I send her in the air.
240
936578
4796
i po drugi put
je poslao u vazduh.
je poslao u vazduh.
15:57
But the dove, who obviously didn't go to flying school,
241
941374
3173
Ali golubica, koja očigledno
nije išla na časove letenja,
nije išla na časove letenja,
16:00
goes flop, flop, flop and ends up at the end of my balancing pole.
242
944547
4047
ide flop, flop, flop i završi na kraju
moje motke za balansiranje.
moje motke za balansiranje.
16:04
(Laughter)
243
948594
1316
(Smeh)
16:05
You laugh, you laugh. But hey.
244
949910
2255
Smejete se, smejete se.
Ali hej.
Ali hej.
16:08
I sit down immediately. It's a reflex of wire walkers.
245
952165
3429
Odmah sam seo.
To je refleks hodača po žici.
To je refleks hodača po žici.
16:11
Now in the meantime, the audience, they go crazy.
246
955594
3219
U međuvremenu,
publika je poludela.
publika je poludela.
16:14
They must think this guy with this dove,
247
958813
2364
Mora da su mislili,
ovaj tip sa svojom golubicom,
ovaj tip sa svojom golubicom,
16:17
he must have spent years working with him.
248
961177
2166
mora da je proveo godine
vežbajući s njom.
vežbajući s njom.
16:19
What a genius, what a professional.
249
963343
1417
Kakav genije,
kakav profesionalac.
kakav profesionalac.
16:20
(Laughter)
250
964760
1971
(Smeh)
16:22
So I take a bow. I salute with my hand.
251
966731
2979
Pa sam se poklonio.
Pozdravio sam rukom.
Pozdravio sam rukom.
16:25
And at the end I bang my hand against the pole
252
969710
2068
I na kraju sam
udario šakom o motku
udario šakom o motku
16:27
to dislodge the bird.
253
971778
1517
da oteram pticu.
16:29
Now the dove, who, now you know, obviously cannot fly,
254
973295
3649
A golubica, koja, sada znate,
očigledno ne zna da leti,
očigledno ne zna da leti,
16:32
does for the third time a little flop, flop, flop
255
976944
2751
po treći put napravi
flop, flop, flop,
flop, flop, flop,
16:35
and ends up on the wire behind me.
256
979695
2033
i završi na žici iza mene.
16:37
And the entire valley goes crazy.
257
981728
3016
I cela dolina je poludela.
16:40
Now but hold on, I'm not finished.
258
984744
2083
Ali sačekajte, nisam još završio.
16:42
So now I'm like 50 yards from my arrival
259
986827
2534
Sad sam otprilike
45 metara do kraja
45 metara do kraja
16:45
and I'm exhausted, so my steps are slow.
260
989361
2649
i iscrpljen sam,
pa su mi koraci spori.
pa su mi koraci spori.
16:47
And something happened.
261
992010
1583
I nešto se desilo.
16:49
Somebody somewhere, a group of people,
262
993593
2469
Neko je negde,
grupa ljudi,
grupa ljudi,
16:51
starts clapping in rhythm with my steps.
263
996062
3182
počela da aplaudira
u ritmu mojih koraka.
u ritmu mojih koraka.
16:55
And within seconds the entire valley
264
999244
1849
I kroz nekoliko sekundi
cela dolina
cela dolina
16:56
is applauding in unison with each of my steps.
265
1001093
3984
aplaudira jednoglasno
sa svakim mojim korakom.
sa svakim mojim korakom.
17:00
But not an applause of delight like before,
266
1005077
2133
Ali ne aplauz oduševljenja
kao pre,
kao pre,
17:03
an applause encouragement.
267
1007210
3384
nego aplauz ohrabrenja.
17:06
For a moment, the entire crowd had forgotten their differences.
268
1010594
4165
Za trenutak, cela gomila
je zaboravila na svoje razlike.
je zaboravila na svoje razlike.
17:10
They had become one, pushing me to triumph.
269
1014759
4949
Postali su jedno,
gurajući me prema trijumfu.
gurajući me prema trijumfu.
17:15
I want you just for a second
270
1019708
2667
Želim da vi, samo na sekund
17:18
to experience this amazing human symphony.
271
1022375
3013
iskusite ovu zapanjujuću
ljudsku simfoniju.
ljudsku simfoniju.
17:21
So let's say I am here and the chair is my arrival.
272
1025388
3136
Recimo da sam ovde,
a stolica je mesto dolaska.
a stolica je mesto dolaska.
17:24
So I walk, you clap, everybody in unison.
273
1028524
3900
Ja hodam, vi tapšete,
svi jednoglasno.
svi jednoglasno.
17:28

17:40
So after the walk, Teddy and I become friends.
276
1045063
2856
Posle tog hodanja,
Tedi i ja smo postali prijatelji.
Tedi i ja smo postali prijatelji.
17:43
And he tells me, he has on his desk a picture of me
277
1047919
3653
I on mi kaže,
ima na stolu sliku mene
ima na stolu sliku mene
17:47
in the middle of the wire with a dove on my head.
278
1051572
2435
na sredini žice,
sa golubicom na glavi.
sa golubicom na glavi.
17:49
He didn't know the true story.
279
1054007
1417
On nije znao pravu priču.
17:51
And whenever he's daunted by an impossible situation
280
1055424
3648
I kad god je obeshrabren
nemogućom situacijom,
nemogućom situacijom,
17:54
to solve in this hard-to-manage city,
281
1059072
2400
u vođenju svog grada,
kojim je teško upravljati,
kojim je teško upravljati,
17:57
instead of giving up, he looks at the picture and he says,
282
1061472
3018
umesto da odustane,
on pogleda sliku i kaže:
on pogleda sliku i kaže:
18:00
"If Philippe can do that, I can do this,"
283
1064490
2333
"Ako Filip može da uradi to,
mogu i ja ovo",
mogu i ja ovo",
18:02
and he goes back to work.
284
1066823
3619
i vrati se na posao.
18:06
Inspiration.
285
1070442
5211
Inspiracija.
18:15
By inspiring ourselves
286
1079468
2448
Inspirišući sebe
18:17
we inspire others.
287
1081916
2190
inspirišemo druge.
18:20

Nikada neću zaboraviti
ovu muziku,
ovu muziku,
18:21
and I hope now neither will you.
289
1085889
2517
a nadam se ni vi.

Molim vas ponesite
ovu muziku kući,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Philippe Petit - High-wire artistHigh-wire artist Philippe Petit surprised the world when he walked illegally between the Twin Towers in 1974.
Why you should listen
Besides having stretched a steel cable without permission between the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, high-wire artist Philippe Petit is a street juggler, writes, draws, performs close-up magic, practices lock-picking and 18th-century timber framing, plays chess, studies French wine, gives lectures and workshops on creativity and motivation, and was recently sighted bullfighting in Peru. Also, he has been arrested over 500 times … for street juggling.
Petit’s book To Reach the Clouds is the basis of the Academy Award-wining documentary film Man on Wire. His new high-wire project on Easter Island -- Rapa Nui Walk -- is an homage to the Rapa Nui and their giant carved stone statues, the Moai.
Petit is working on his seventh book, Why Knot? He just completed his first series of Master Classes: Tightrope! An Exploration into the Theatre of Balance. He is also hard at work on a new one-man stage show titled Wireless! Philippe Petit Down to Earth.
