“ It takes two to tango…”
Does it take two to be lonely?
An impossible, improbable couple with whom everything could become possible.
To proceed a , contract and counter-action is necessary.
“I do not
remember names.
Only bodies. I read bodies.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Monotango Stereo looks on the dual actions of two single dancing bodies in a dance for two, the guiding and following part in all of us, the feminine and masculine, and the dialogue between them.
The language of the performance is a research and challenge between dancetheatre and tango in which we seek the unexpected and the surprising within the obsessive, tight structure of tango.
The question is how to emerge from a static conflict to a communication that moves?
The performance examines some of the clichés of tango in order to take them apart; other elements – the elegance and precision of movement contact are taken into consideration and developed in another way.
Monotango Stereo invites the public after the performance to participate in a milonga (dance-evening) on stage. And the bar is open.
