Our first tango show.
Saturday, March 10, 2007
We went to see a show called ¨Tanguerra¨ the other night which was a great stage play of the history of tango. It was highly dramatised (!!!) narrative through dance (am I boring you yet?) of the settlement of Buenos Aires and the introduction of migrant workers and influences. It was a pretty racey show, with the story of the prostitute population of Buenos Aires helping to develop the style of tango as it is, being demonstrated as accurately as a family show would allow... I think my eyebrows are still raised. =) The dancing was reasonable and the costumes excellent! We also had a reasonable coffee afterwards but it was a lot more expensive than the norm ($6 pesos compared with the usual $3 pesos for a black espresso).
