Bring your dancing shoes for the Social Tango Project – November 13, 2024 LiveEvents November 6, 2024 120 Social Tango Project The long-awaited return of the celebrated dance company from Buenos Aires! A love story with Argentine roots, told through a convergence of artistic disciplines. On stage: ten dancers, four musicians, and a singer faithfully reproduce the classic melodies and Latin-imbued sound of the tango. The show, created by choreographer Augustina Videla, is a stimulating, one-of-a-kind visual experience. Complementing the perfectly orchestrated movements are a series of photos and a documentary film, giving the audience an opportunity to delve even deeper into this rich tradition of dance. Be it through its music, its beauty, or the sense of connection it creates, tango is a fascinating art. Originating in the 1880s along the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay, the dance form has since won the hearts of audiences around the globe. Through its performances, the Social Tango Project celebrates the richness of this art form in multiple ways. After the performance, the stage at Théâtre Maisonneuve will transform into a dance floor, inviting the audience to join in for a one-hour milonga* led by artistic director Agustina Videla, accompanied by dancers from the Argentine company. A few basic tango steps will be shared to get you started. Whether you’re drawn to the fiery energy of a fast tango or the elegance of a slower one, let the magic of this passionate dance sweep you away! *The number of participants will be limited based on the space available on stage. If demand exceeds capacity, group rotations will be organized throughout the different musical segments. Théâtre Maisonneuve Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 8:00pm To purchase your tickets, visit: www.placedesarts.com
