Zweisamkeit (?)

When we open ourselves
you yourself to me and I myself to you,
when we submerge
you into me and I into you
when we vanish
you into me and into you I
then
am I me
and you are you

R.M. Rilke

There was an excercise, when some years ago I took some acting classes, in which we had to experience the loss of balance, pushing ourselves till the edge of it, and then letting ourselves go.. the aim being experimenting the tension and relief of finding a more conscious, new balance. Dynamism and movement, courage, loss and finding, changing, touching.. life.

Da un’intervista a Valerio Mastrandrea, ieri: ‘Personaggi rigidi, aridi, mai pronti a farsi sconvolgere la vita dall’incontro con qualcun altro. Di queste persone qui, sono stufo, sono stanco: di loro non c’è più bisogno.’
