Tango of the capine

CHAPTER TANGO

direction: Emma Dante
with: Sabino Civilleri and Manuela Lo Sicco
lights: Cristian Zucaro
production: Single Act

An old girl goes through a trunk. It extracts a bottle of pills, a wedding veil, a remote control, many colorful balloons… From another trunk comes the music of a music box. An old man appears. Wear an old ceremonial dress from time.

Man looks at the woman and smiles. She’ll be right there. The hug. The woman puts her head on his shoulder. He caress her. She keeps it tight not to lose balance. He supports it. They dance. He extracts from his pocket a pocket watch: less than five… less four… less three… less two… less one… and at the midnight touch he blows a fire. They kiss. He throws in the air a handful of confetti. The party starts. Happy New Year, my love! He and she are now 16. In swimsuit promise eternal love. On the notes of old songs celebrate the arrival of the new year dancing back to their love story.

The Tango delle Capinere is the study, Ballarini, which belonged to the Trilogy of Glasses. It is the composition of a mosaic of memories that makes the loneliness of those who disgracefully survive to the other.
