Tango After Dark

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Tango After Dark elevates Argentinian tango from its cosy cabaret setting to an ultimate theatrical experience, fusing the intoxicating music of legendary composer Astor Piazzolla with breathtaking choreography and jaw-dropping moves. Led by international tango superstar and world champion Germán Cornejo, a cast of ten top dancers performs alongside a live band that masterfully interprets Piazzolla’s revolutionary scores from different periods. This exhilarating performance captures the seductive power of Argentina’s most iconic dance, blending sensuality with quick-fire precision and pushing the boundaries of this passionate art form. 

Celebrated worldwide, Tango After Dark is set to be an unforgettable evening that will keep your passion burning deep into the night.
