Meet the artists after the show on 30.08

In this short play marked by the stamp of originality and humour, the metamorphosed dancer in constant unbalance changes into one mysterious Thing*, to use the words of Cummings to describe Josephine Baker.
Vera Mantero uses both to question the perception of the dancer by the audience.

* What he really said about Josephine: “one mysterious Thing, neither primitive nor civilised, or beyond time, in the sense that emotion is beyond arithmetics”
