in\TWO SOLOS by Jorge Morro and Norbert Servos

D: Zwei Soli zum gleichen Thema: die Angst vor dem Alleinsein, dem Verlassenwerden. Einmal aus weiblicher, einmal aus männlicher Sicht. Was beiden gemeinsam ist: Sie müssen ihr altes Ich überwinden, um einen neuen Anfang zu finden. In ihrer Verzweiflung flüchten die Darsteller in immer neue Situationen: ein imaginäres Speed Dating ohne Gegenüber, das Erträumen des idealen Partners, die Zerstörung des Brautkleids der Ex-Frau ' aus Rache für's Verlassenwerden. Scheitern als Chance.

E: If you were used to think in a unity of two you have to recreate yourself as a single person. Two dance solos with the same subject: the fear of loneliness ' from a female and from a male perspective. But man and woman have one thing in common: They have to overcome their ego in order to find a new beginning. In their desperation they try out whatever promises a way out of the disaster: an imaginary speed dating, dreaming of an ideal partner, a firework of virtuosity. But at the end nothing works. Failing as chance.

The piece is inspired by the real case of US-American Kevin Cotter who was left by his wife after twelve years of marriage. Staying alone with her wedding dress he started to abuse the dress in every possible way. Our man in the piece goes through different states in a manic ”štour de force': dancing, talking, playing piano, shouting, but also dreaming. He tries to compensate the loss of a relationship by showing off. Overcoming the drama of his own ego, he finally realizes:

How can we know who we are if there is nobody. Nobody. Talking into the wind. Standing at the coast talking to the clouds, the waves, the sand. ' No, we don't have to like the reply. But there has to be one. ' Can you imagine how big it is out there? How unbelievable big? Can you imagine you scream and there is nothing, not even the echo of your own voice?
