To the notes of old songs, an elderly couple, played by Sabino Civilleri and Manuela Lo Sicco, celebrate the arrival of the New Year by ‘dancing' backwards through their history. They slowly undress, change their appearance, look younger. Enveloped by the voice of Mina, Tenco and an infinity of other unforgettable songs, the two go over the most important moments of a lifetime. Recalling, they find each other in a mosaic of memories welded together by the power of music. With Tango delle Capinere, Emma Dante composes a melancholic ode to love that is an antidote to loneliness. A performance imbued with a mysterious and archaic force that takes us back to the ritual matrix of theatre. To its essential carnality.
