The official description

Tango Buenos Aires

Marcos Ayala Tango Company

Tango Buenos Aires is a scenic and emotional journey into the spirit of one of Argentina's most universal cultural languages. Born in the Río de la Plata from the meeting of European, African and South American influences, tango is explored here through a sequence of choreographic tableaux, in time and space.

Inspired by the Golden Age of the '40s and '50s, but attentive to the deepest roots of the genre, the production retraces its evolution: from the slums to the grand salons, from the arrabal to the whole world, in an intense blend of anger, desire, passion and hope.

Under the direction of the legendary Marcos Ayala, the show unfolds in a series of independent tableaux, in which movement becomes a language to tell of passions, encounters and contrasts, in a dynamic and engaging way.

The result is an intense and close-up experience, in which tradition and contemporary vision coexist in balance: dance in its most intense form, music, movement and emotion, as a tribute to tango as cultural identity, living memory and energy that beats in every step and every embrace.

COMPANY BIO

Founded by the visionary Argentine dancer Marcos Ayala, World Champion at just 19, the Marcos Ayala Tango Company has revolutionized the international tango stage.

Where it takes place: Teatro Italia

Teatro Italia, on Via Bari, was born out of the experience of the Dopolavoro Ferroviario of Rome, designed by Angiolo Mazzoni with the collaboration of Efisio Vodret. The building stands on a triangular lot between Via Bari, Via Como and Via Forlì and included, besides the theater, a gym, a library, offices and a hotel. The theater was inaugurated in 1930 with a concert by Pietro Mascagni.

The theater's website states that its activity has continued since 1930 and places the venue in the Nomentano district, with a facade that preserves the identity of the Dopolavoro Ferroviario. The foyer and the bar are accessible before the show, during the intermission and at the end of the evening.

In the district are also the Casino Nobile of Villa Torlonia and the Jewish catacombs of Villa Torlonia. The page for the venue is Teatro Italia. Among the other shows are Long Live the Queen and New Year's Eve with Orchestraccia.
