Milonga - Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui
Age-old Argentinean tango slinks into the modern age.
Overview
Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, one of the superstars of contemporary dance, is taking over the State Theatre with his internationally acclaimed new show. Described by critics as wild, sexy and beautiful, M¡longa brings the tradition of Argentinean tango slinking seductively into the modern age.
Drawing inspiration from the late night social dances held in bars across Buenos Aires, Cherkaoui’s show includes a dozen Argentinean dancers, moving across the stage to the sounds of a five-piece band. The marriage of tradition and modernity is accentuated by the performance’s multimedia aspect, with massive projections lighting up an onstage screen.
Dance fans had best get in quickly, however, as M¡longa is only in town until Sunday April 5. For performance times and to book tickets, visit the Arts Centre website.
