Versione italiana

This play starts with an idea: dreams are a literary genre. Perhaps the oldest. And there is nothing more true than literary fiction. Hence tales of tales and poems of poems edited and interpreted by Massimiliano Finazzer Flory in dialogue with music by Astor Piazzolla performed on the accordion by Sergio Scappini.

Between mirrors and chess.

A man on stage is accompanied by a musician. The man says he is a librarian and dreams of being a writer. The musician listens to him and plays the accordion.

Man tells stories that happened elsewhere.

It speaks of dreams, of gods, of mysterious roses, of gifts, of memories, of labyrinths..

Are they true? We don't know but they certainly tell of us, of books lost and suddenly found by the librarian..

Taken from some of the most beautiful pages of literature such as Fictions, Library of Babel, Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges accompanied by the music of Astor Piazzolla: Oblivion, Muerte, Jacinto Chiclana, Balada para la mi muerte, Alguien le dice al tango, Escualo, the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.

"To recover authentic listening we must close our eyes. This is how we open ourselves to the light of literature. Theatre is still the most faithful mirror of this journey."
