Fascination
Fascination (Latin) 1. f. Delusion or hallucination. 2. f. Irresistible attraction.
They work all day long. A stressful, committed, misunderstood job. But three nights a week they meet there and dance. Cha-cha-cha. Rumba. Waltz. Dance classes for all. Paid for by the company. Pasodoble. Bolero. Salsa. Because the company loves them. The company is like a big family. A big family united by the same idea. And families will do anything to stay united. Fox-trot. Tango. Nothing can alter the family harmony. Swing. Nothing. One, two, three, Mambo.
Fascinación is a text that is read with the rhythms and movements of bodies that dance. That try to dance, despite their minds, fears and prejudices. Because the body does not deceive. The mind does, however, and a great deal. Ideas are barriers, walls, frontiers. The body, however, always goes one step further. The body moves. The body dances. The gesture always ends up revealing those stories that the mind tries so hard to hide.

The text “Lingua Madre Mameloschn” by the German author Sasha Marianna Salzmann will be presented at Teatro Stabile di Torino from the 6th to the 11th February.

About the text:
At the age of thirty, Aina has just been ditched by her partner. Laia and Òscar want to encourage her to seize the opportunity and make the dream she had left parked come true: writing. To do this, they invite a poet, Marcos, who has a gift for enamouring anyone with just a few verses, to a dinner at Aina’s house. Marcos, however, will not be satisfied with a dinner filled with trivial chitchat and he demands spiritual nourishment. Aina, Laia and Òscar watch as their lives fall apart around them. They are fragile, they have lost themselves in contemporary apathy, they have drowned in their own doubt, and he takes advantage of this.
