Last night a few twitter happy friends and I were invited
to the opening night of the Joburg Theatre’s sizzling new show Tango Fire! Following
their sell-out seasons in the US and Europe, Argentina's hottest dance export
has returned with their brand new show.
The beautiful dancers captivated the audience as they confidently
combined rawness with sophistication as they hissed across the stage showing
off the seductive, sweltering and fleshly cores of the Argentinian Tango.
The Tango Fire
company features Argentina’s new generation of tango dancers, including five
recent world tango champions, in a sensational programme choreographed by
Argentina’s hottest young choreographer German Cornejo. The company’s ten dancers are accompanied on
stage by four of Argentina’s most brilliant young musicians, Quarteto Fuego led
by the sultry violin virtuoso Estefani Corsini. The live music on stage is
played on the traditional instruments of the tango - double bass, piano, violin
and bandoneón. The band and dancers are accompanied by one of Argentina’s
finest young singers, Jesus Hidalgo.Tango Fire takes the
audience on an excursion through tango heritage - tracing its roots from the
Barrio’s of Buenos Aires city into Cabaret before moving through the decades to
showcase Tango’s growing popularity as a contemporary dance form.
An absolutely breath-taking performance that will have you
clenching to edge of your seat in anticipation and applauding hysterically at the
startling choreography before your eyes. A perfect night out filled with passion
and beautiful music.
