t4/ BORGES Y YO/ Hanna Schygulla-Peter Ludwig-Andrea Bonelli

It is a show conceived by the german actress Hanna Schygulla based on seven short stories, chosen by Schygulla, by the argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. These stories are woven together as part of the same story with popular argentine tangos, with original instrumental music and arrangements by Peter Ludwig.

BORGES Y YO/ Hanna Schygulla-Peter Ludwig-Andrea Bonelli

BORGES y YO was represented by Schygulla herself 20 years ago in France and Germany in both languages. In this new proposal, Hanna, a great admirer of the writer, assumes with all her experience, career and talent, the staging and direction of the show. The interpretation will be carried out by the argentine actress Andrea Bonelli, who will be the voice sometimes spoken, sometimes sung, and will let herself be carried away by the climates in the midst of which the stories emerge like rare diamonds.

BORGES y YO is a show in which texts interact with music and images. They are texts with a very profound effect, where the force of the word unites with music. The inexplicable, the mysterious, the labyrinthine.

In Tango there is not only the taste of pain, it also has something cathartic.

It is not a nostalgic show, it is related to today with certain traits of humor. The Tango songs that we all know are used in an unusual way and together with the stories they form alchemy with narration.

 

 

“I am attracted to Borges by his relationship with the inexplicable, the labyrinthine. Its strong imprint reaches me with the immediate power of certain phrases capable of opening veils on the horizons of our existence."

Hanna Schygulla
