The sensuality of tango comes alive as this 14-member, international troupe explores the evolution of the
mesmerizing art form. Tango First Century highlights Paris in the roaring twenties, the unforgettable
Carlos Gardel, the golden age of tango in the 1940s, and the contemporary tango of Astor Piazzolla.
Romulo Larrea’s ensemble, formed in 1990, provides the backbone for this breathtaking production,
performing a vast tango repertoire using an unorthodox combination of traditional tango trio (bandoneon,
piano and double bass) and classical quartet (two violins, viola and cello).
