Her TANGO

In a blend of the traditional and the contemporary, Leonardo Suarez Paz’s PIAZZOLLA 100 brings a unique narrative to the stage with Her TANGO. Three iconic instruments of tango—violin, guitar, and bandoneon, along with members of the Nuevo Tango Ballet, address the genre’s essence and evolution and an intimate portrait of the genre through the female gaze. 

This preview performance combines the soulful music of Astor Piazzolla and Leonardo Suarez-Paz with the evocative poetry of Horacio Ferrer, creating a tapestry of music, dance, and spoken word that delves into the feminine spirit of tango.

Soloists Leonardo Suarez-Paz (violin & voice), Rodolfo Zanetti (bandoneon), and Gabriel Hermida (guitar) will lead the evening, accompanied by the graceful movements of the Nuevo Tango Ballet featuring Olga Suarez-Paz, Caitlyn Casson, Laura Izquierdo Jurado, and Héloïse Ponsonnet. The performance will be bilingual, presented in both English and Spanish, welcoming a diverse audience to experience the heart and soul of tango.

In conjunction with the concert, a special visual art exhibit will also be showcased, featuring works by the Argentine-born and New York-based abstract painter, Susana Aldanondo. This unique combination of performing and visual arts promises an immersive cultural experience.
