NEW SHOW (2025) *De Tango y Sombras*
"Inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone, this tango tale follows a being from the underworld who kidnaps a young woman—only to be transformed by the very love he thought impossible."
Reimagined through the unique language of tango, the story depicts a creature from the underworld who rises to the surface and chooses a young woman to accompany him into darkness. But the unexpected happens: love emerges, transforming both their destinies and those around them.
"De Tango y Sombras" is a breathtaking fusion of musical theater with the expressive force of dance, tracing the abyss of light and shadow that separates its protagonists.
It invites audiences to question notions of love, to recognize who we truly are, and the courage to embrace both darkness and light within us.
Premiered in Buenos Aires in April 2025, the show is currently touring cities across Argentina and South America through autumn 2025.
