TANGO AFTER DARK is the ultimate theatrical tango experience, straight from Argentina, that merges intoxicating music inspired by the great Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla, jaw-dropping choreography, and breathtaking moves, to reveal tango in its most authentic but sophisticated form.This mesmerizing show combines the sensuous side of tango, Argentina’s most popular dance and world-renowned for its seductive powers, with rawness and quick-fire precision, taking this passionate dancing language to the limit, to create a unique and exhilarating performance.
This outstanding theatrical experience is entirely inspired by the great work of Astor Piazzolla, a prominent Argentinean contemporary music figure. His music, a masterful blend of urban music and cutting-edge composing techniques, sought a provocative renewal of style through a transmutation of sonority as well as rhythm, which resulted in world widely recognized unique and remarkable sounds and sensations. Starting in the 60’s, Piazzolla’s figure became the core of avantgarde thought, whose three-decade leading transformation took the “New Tango” to the most prestigious stages in the world. This worldwide renowned composer transformed the tango landscape in the 1960s and 70s by introducing the world to his Nuevo Tango.
