Join us for an exciting studio showcase in the acoustically superior historic Chapel of the Good Shepherd. This performance will feature new works in progress by Nuevo Tango Ballet, including excerpts from “Her TANGO,” a tango-dance-theater production with live music by PIAZZOLLA 100 soloists Leonardo Suarez-Paz (violin & voice), Rodolfo Zanetti (bandoneon) and Alejandro De Los Reyes (guitar) alongside 4 dancers - Olga Suarez Paz (choreography/dance/voice), Laura Izquierdo Jurado, Héloïse Ponsonnet & Mathilde Guerrero. This program is bilingual (English/Spanish). This program is not suitable for children under 13. There will be an audience Q&A following the showcase.  

Nuevo Tango Ballet is a contemporary tango dance ensemble which aims to expand the boundaries and the perception of Tango as an artistic language. We seek to contemporize the traditional form through exploring new technique, by creating new narratives, reexamining gender roles and themes of liberty, inspiration and love. Nuevo Tango Ballet forms a part of Leonardo Suarez Paz's PIAZZOLLA 100 as an integral aspect of the project's multidisciplinary nature which is modernizing the genre by integrating contemporary elements and influences from other genres. We honor Tango's roots as a traditional art form, where dance, music, visual art and storytelling are inseparable.
