Una Noche en Buenos Aires
A 12 min show piece, commissioned by Aura Events, London for a major corporate event for Bain - performed in the Floral Hall, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, May 10, 2006.
Clothed in a cinematic, black and white, 1940's elegance, from the very start the performance transports the audience into another world - a Tango night in Bs. As! Blending non-stylized movement and elements of dance-theatre with the stylized Tango postures and dance choreographies, the piece cleverly interleaves the history of the Tango music and its various dance styles - milonguero, club, fantasia, tango-nuevo - with a passage through stages of a social dance evening. From the very beginning, through to the very end, the company (of 10 dancers) plays with the typical 'tanguero' attitudes, characters and social dynamics by lending them their own interpretations, personalities and humor. In this way each individual dancer as well as a couple enacts their own tango passion by shaping it into a power encounter of the wills, a seductive, a playful and/or a loving game between the sexes. At the end of the performance, the audience is invited to step into the open too by joining in the free dancing!
