HOW TO_just another bolero. Duo created on the famous notes of Maurice Ravel’s Boléro, composition for orchestra of 1928. The incessant beating of the drum and the melody of the work have guided the two authors in the creation of eighteen images, as eighteen are the repetitions of the theme, arranged in a gradual and continuous crescendo from the initial pianissimo to the majestic final. The play is a metaphor of today’s existential condition: the eighteen images are molded into each other, looking for their own vital space and adapt to the suspended time. The two performers, like captive animals, are forced into a cage without bars, which has become familiar and homely. They both seem to have forgotten their own nature, their respective roles and the rules of behavior for peaceful coexistence. Like domesticated animals dependent on each other, they are observed from the outside at 360°, as the main attractions of a zoo. Almost totally stripped of their earthly clothes, the two are destined to repeat the same actions, in a clumsy loop of attempts, mistakes and a final, illusory escape from above. Without any happy ending, the two performers surrender to their own condemnation. HOW TO _ just another Boléro wants to become a portrait of today’s attempts to re-learn HOW to behave, HOW to touch each other, HOW to cooperate, HOW to help each other, HOW to love each other, between dramatic and ironic tones.
