hola querida gente tanguera del mundo ! The show Penas del bandoneon which was performed in the auditorium of the National Library here in Wellington, New Zealand, last thursday & Saturday we're pleased to say was a "sold-out" success!
the play is set in the late 1970's in Buenos Aires under the military regime. The story told by Don Jose, "the man of the Bandoneon", who taught & knew well Claudia the tango teacher. This tango play shows the virtues of this marvelous dance, with all the possiblities of rhythm, footwork, and sensuality. Directed by Chilean play-writer Rolando Olmedo, & Choreography by Alex White. During the play landscapes and architecture from Buenos Aires is shown, and the great passions of it's people, such as Tango, futbol, and the Gauchos (Argentine Cowboys). Dedicated to those people (& their families) who disappeared under the military regime's in Argentina & Chile. ************** Alex White e-mail: [email protected] http://come.to/tango_firulete
