Hello again, I just want to thank the presence of many of you that I saw attending our performance on last week-end. If you like it, please spread the voice between your friends because we have one more week-end left and will be the last one. So please make your reservations soon because is going to sold out easy this weekend. The show makes the $17 really worth it after you see all the work there is behind, and students and seniors pay $15.
I also want to say that this is also a part of the Argentine History that people who dance tango should know. My friend Vance from Austin, Texas was here last week-end as many of you know because he went to the friday milonga. He saw the show and he meet me for congratulations at the end and he start strongly crying on my chest and when I asked him why he sayd, ..."This is so much about tango, this is totaly part of tango"... and start telling me that first he was deeply touch by one of Silvia's pictures that was exhibit on the hall, plus he said "I was in the Plaza with the madres in the last visit to BSAS and I saw them walk, and after seeing the show, it was bringing to me so many deep emotions that I totaly relate them with tango"... Below there is some tangueros comments and info about the show. I hope to see you there, Thanks again for your presence, Florencia ------------------------------------------------------------ Florencia Larry and Ingrid attended with a friend last Saturday and felt that the performance was teriffic! How the cast was able to perform in the heat was another great demonstration of performing at your absolute best at great sacrifice. Feel free to pass along our favorable opinion. Wishing you all the best. Larry and Ingrid ------------------------------------------------------------ IT WAS TRULY FABULOUS, your control of emotion til the right moment, of tenderness, of fear, of quick and of slow, were all so apparent in every move that you did. I was myself very moved by the whole production and congratulate you and Gerry and everyone. but especially you. I hope you can appear again in a contemporary dance event. you are a marvelous performer. Congratulations, Judith Ingber ------------------------------------------------------------ Gerry Girouard and Dancers and Off-Leash Area present Crimes and Whispers A Tango of Despair and Defiance at Jawaahir Dance Theatre July 14 thru 30 In Buenos Aires there is an ongoing struggle for control over the memory of the disappeared, the thousands of innocent citizens kidnapped and murdered in the 1970's and 80's by a vicious military junta unrepentant in their patriotic defense of national security.

Crimes and Whispers is a unique theatrical dance collaboration that fuses the acrobatic modern dance choreography of Gerry Girouard, the expertise of master Tango dancer and Buenos Aires native Florencia Taccetti, and the theatrical imagination of Off-Leash Area (Ivey Award winners and City Pages' 2005 Artists of the Year).
