Sensuous and sophisticated, the tango inhabits a world where everything can be said with the flick of a leg, the tug of a hand, the tap of a foot and the arch of an eyebrow.
Forever Tango tells the story of the birth of the tango in 19th century Argentina where thousands of men abandoned a disintegrating Europe to seek fortune in South America. For most the boat never came, and instead they found themselves in the horror of the packing houses along the Riachuelo in Buenos Aires, and near the port in Montevideo, Uruguay. The tango was born of this lonely and violent existence.
Forever Tango features sixteen world-class tango dancers, one vocalist and an on-stage eleven piece orchestra in a production that celebrates the passionate music and dance of Argentina.
