Artist:
Forever Tango
Genre: Theater
Background: After breaking
San Francisco box office records for a touring
musical with 92 weeks at Theater On The
Square through May, 1996, FOREVER TANGO
spent the summer and fall of 1996 and the
first part of 1997 on the road. Wild and
frenzied ovations greeted performances at
the Spoleto Arts Festival in Italy, and
in London, Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles,
Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and Philadelphia.
The show features a world-renowned, all-Argentine
cast which brings an absolutely unique excitement
and passion to the stage. The production
traces, through music, dance, and dramatic
vignettes, the Tango's colorful, often checkered
history, from its beginnings in turn-of-the-century
Buenos Aires bordellos to its acceptance
into high society. Sensuous and sophisticated,
the tango inhabits a world where everything
can be said with the flick of a leg, the
tug of a hand, the tap of a foot, and the
arch of an eyebrow.
