[TANGO-L] National Geographic Tango issue

[Alberto Gesualdi <clambat2001 @YAHOO.COM.AR>]

Dear friends from Tango list
I have seen the material published on this magazine . The quality of photography is excellent as usual.
I wonder what kind of impression will have a person reading this article and looking the pictures of Buenos Aires , with all the local situation updated .
Both the writer of the article( a woman )  and the photographer( a man)  took tango lessons while in Buenos Aires . It seems the woman was able to dance , according to her comments. And the man get lost in the middle of Nino bien floor, and begun dancing waltz with his tango teacher, while laughing nerviously, a complete disaster, in his own words. He also was kicked out from Centro Tasso, when trying to take photos of the milongueros and milongueras dancing their intimate social dance .

I did not know this last sunday that National Geographic was including a media/audio/video  report on Tango.

I bought a book for my fiancei , from argentine writer Bioy Casares , a kind of sci fi book ( written in 1940) .

The name of the book is " La invencion de Morel / The Morel invention", and tells the story of a man that arrives to an island lost in the middle of the sea, to discover a complete community that dances , and have  social activity as in a holiday resort . The intriguing fact is people appears and disappears , and when this man talks to them , as they say " they have eyes and ears, but it look as their eyes were not to see, and their ears were not listen".
Finally he peeps at a gathering of all the people and a lecture that Monsieur Morel makes to them , to explain that he has taken all of them to the island, to make his invention true. Morel explains his invention " The first part is the machine. The second one records. The third one projects". So Morel has invented a state of the art video machine, that records not only the images, but the sounds and smells of all this group, and projects it for ever , in random sequences, depending of the tides that enter the sea water into the island and activate the engines that start the machine to project one week of this people as they have been living .

Morel says finally " we are from now on , inmortal ., It doesn t matter how we live from now on , the true meaning of life have changed with my invention.Our projections will be inmortal into this island forever."


Maybe this National Geographic issue is a turn of the screw on Morel4s invention

Warm regards
