Nicole Nau says “Tango is the dance of extremes. Black and white. Love and hate. Man and woman. Life and death. Two poles that attract. The feelings are inflamed, the air vibrates with passion. Tango is ecstasy – but it nevertheless follows precise rules and structures. That’s where his mystery lies! “

Having become the very expression of Argentina, the tango covers only part of the many facets of the new show. It alternates with the traditional malambo and the sensual and enthralling zamba

The hypnotic drums bind to the spectacular boleadoras (traditional weapons in the shape of wooden balls and leather) that slam on the floor.
