More a report than a voyage: across the places, the history, the personalities, the atmosphere of the Argentinian Tango in Italy.
Like every voyage, this is a search: six months spent going from one point to another in Italy, following the events, the nights, the thoughts of the protagonists of a 10-year-phenomenon of untouched magic; something which reached the point of no return becoming much deeper than a fashion.
A photographer and a journalist travel partners in a delicate and surprising adventure created by the voices of all those touched and moved by the emotions of the dancing feeling.
“Anime altrove – luoghi e genti del tango argentino in Italia”, the forthcoming book by Colombi Litografica, is like a mirror of the society, tender and contradictory, which lives on the threshold of milongas.
Lucia Baldini, official photographer for the Compaña Tagueros, for Carla Fracci, author of “Giorni di Tango” and of a monograph on Frank Zappa, this time presents the images of places, times, people met in her wanderings across the peninsula, creating a new setting. Once again her object is impressively embraced in a new series of black and white shots. Teachers, dancers, students, simply passionate of milongas become the protagonists of the book. Their emotions, ideas, challenges and each personal way of experiencing the tango are found in the gallery of images presented by the pen of Michela Fregona. It is an intimate itinerary to discover tales, both well and less known, seen through the eyes of those who, under the spotlight, stop for an instant to become “public”.
Behind the scenes of Associations, places, dancers: an informal story, made by the main characters.
